The Sporades are a different Greece. Where the Cyclades are white and bare, Skopelos and Skiathos are dressed in pine forest that runs right down to the shore, framing beaches of pale pebble and soft sand in water of deep emerald and turquoise.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

From Agia Anna on Evia's northern coast, the islands are a short offshore crossing away. Swim beneath Skopelos's green cliffs, follow its wild western shore, then cross to Skiathos \u2014 an island famous for more than sixty beaches \u2014 and spend the afternoon moving between its most beautiful bays before a golden run home across the open Aegean.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
