Practical guide to the islands of the Northern Aegean Sea with practical information, addresses, and itinerary suggestions.
Le Petit Futé completes its collection of Greek Country Guides with a new guide to the islands of the Northern Aegean Sea. In the shadow of the Cyclades, these islands, still too often overlooked, stand out for the diversity of their unspoiled landscapes: dense green forests, wild mountains, freshwater waterfalls - in addition to the traditional turquoise sand and pebble beaches. It is in the Sporades, around Alonissos, that we find Greece's first marine reserve, preserving a unique maritime heritage and exceptional diving sites. Skopelos is also the famous island that served as the setting for Mamma Mia. Around Fourni, shipwrecks abound and are still largely unexplored. The culture is alive here: Ikaria is the perfect example of an island that lives to the rhythm of traditional feasts and banquets, with dance and music shared by all generations, and the gastronomy is based on local products (sweet wines from Samos, mastic from Chios, tuna from Alonissos...). All these islands are well connected by plane. Kaleos ithate!
