Frequently asked
About this charter type
Is the Sporades better than the Cyclades for families?
If your priority is calm water + family swimming, yes. The Sporades is wind-protected, the bays are sheltered, and the islands are closer together. The Cyclades has more cultural depth and dramatic landscapes but more wind.
Can we sail to the Cyclades from the Sporades?
Possible but expensive - ~150nm and 1-2 days passage each way. Better to keep the charter within the Sporades or do two separate charters.
When's the best time for the Sporades?
June-September. Calm summers throughout. Late September is the quietest sweet spot - pine air, warm water, few yachts.
