Northern Aegean Discovery Voyage
Northern Aegean Discovery Voyage traces a north-to-south passage across some of the most diverse sailing grounds of the Greek seas, covering approximately 200 nautical miles from Keramoti to Volos. Staying true to the spirit of NorthSailing, the journey combines seamanship, learning, and exploration within a supportive flotilla environment. The route unfolds gradually through the Northern Aegean, sailing around Thassos and Samothrace, along the coastline of Chalkidiki, and across the wider waters near Limnos before continuing south toward the Sporades. Skiathos, Skopelos, and Alonnisos mark the final stages of the passage, offering changing landscapes, varied sailing conditions, and a strong sense of progression throughout the voyage. While these destinations shape the overall course, daily stops remain flexible and adapt to weather conditions and the rhythm of the group.
