We look forward to welcoming you for a week's sailing aboard Mivida, exploring the stunning Sporades in the northern Aegean Sea. Unlike the nearby Cyclades, barren and windswept, these islands are lush, with pine forests that slope down to the sea, golden sandy or white pebble beaches, and crystal-clear waters rich in biodiversity. Many know them as the islands from the movie "Mamma Mia!", and indeed, with their idyllic landscape, they are the perfect setting for a dream vacation. Awaiting you are Skiathos, the liveliest and most vibrant; Skopelos, tranquil and rich in history; Alonissos, a protected marine park and refuge for the Mediterranean monk seal; and Peristera and Kyra Panagia, uninhabited and reachable only by boat.
In the Sporades, the prevailing summer wind, the Meltemi, is generally moderate and the distances between the islands are short: close enough to offer a different landscape every day and far enough apart to offer a few hours of beautiful sailing, which everyone can take part in guided by skippers.
During our stops, we can sunbathe, swim, explore the seabed and seagrass meadows with a mask and snorkel, or paddle along the coast on a stand-up paddleboard. Hiking excursions on land to visit some of the traditional villages are also possible.
You'll sail aboard a 14-meter monohull sailing vessel, equipped for comfortable and safe navigation and helmed by two skippers with over twenty years of experience, eager to set sail. Even when sailing, the bimini remains open to provide shade and shelter from the sun, and the comfortable cockpit can accommodate all guests. And when it's time to swim, the stern platform makes diving and climbing back in easy, with a hot shower for rinsing off afterward.
The skippers not only take care of the navigation, but also of the cooking. Upon boarding, you'll find the galley stocked with fresh, local produce.
Our days begin with a hearty breakfast: Greek yogurt, honey, fresh and dried fruit, bread, butter, jams, cheeses, and cured meats. For lunch, we favor light, fresh dishes, inspired by Greek and Italian cuisine. In the evening, we take more time to prepare grilled fish or meat, seasonal vegetables, and, when we catch or find suitable seafood, raw seafood.
We also offer evenings where we accompany you ashore so you can enjoy traditional Greek cuisine on your own.
