Explore this spot in Sporades. Great location for wind surfing. The Sporades is an archipelago located in the Aegean Sea, off the eastern coast of Greece. It consists of 24 islands, 4 of which are inhabited. The area boasts stunning scenery including crystal clear waters, pristine beaches, lush green forests, and rugged mountain ranges. The islands are home to an abundance of wildlife, including dolphins, seals and rare bird species. The traditional architecture of the villages, with their white-washed houses and narrow streets, add to the charm of the area. The Sporades are a popular tourist destination due to their unspoiled nature and tranquil atmosphere.
