Location & How to Find Us:
Skiathos in the magnificent area of Sporades is an ideal area for RYA training with good winds, sandy beaches, safe overnight anchorages. The airport is just 5 minutes away.
Lagoon like beaches, deserted islands, safe anchorages and BBQ's on the beach are what you may expect. You may also see dolphins and seals. We chose this location for the school as we believe it is possibly the most beautiful area of Greece to sail in whilst still offering relatively unexplored waters.
Flights arrive direct into Skiathos from major UK airports (Gatwick, East Mids, Newcastle, Birmingham Bristol, Glasgow etc) on Fridays. Alternatively you can fly to Athens and get the "Flying Dolphin" hydrofoil service to Skiathos which takes 4.5 hours from Athens and cost about 30 Euros return. Excel, Thomson, Thomas Cook, First Choice and a few others all fly direct to Skiathos. To arrange flights direct to Skiathos see our website or 'phone Charlie at Global Flights on 0870 606 4316 www.globalflights.net.
