Sail just 2 km off Skiathos to the uninhabited islet of Tsougria — translucent shallows, powdery sand and absolute silence — on a private crewed sailing yacht. The Aegean as it existed before tourism, entirely to yourself.
What to expect
You cast off from the Old Port under sail, the pine-covered hills of Skiathos receding as the open Aegean opens ahead. Tsougria appears as a brushstroke of silver sand fringed by juniper. Snorkel directly off the boat over posidonia meadows teeming with sea bream and octopus — visibility regularly exceeds 25 metres. A chilled lunch of local cheese, charcuterie, fresh bread and wine is served on deck at anchor. The return sail often catches the afternoon meltemi breeze for an exhilarating close-hauled beat back to port.
Good to know
Departure from Old Port at 09:30; back by 13:30 for most all-aboard times. Confirm your ship's schedule before booking. Snorkel equipment, paddleboard and swim platform included. Book 2–3 weeks ahead in peak season — private sailing charters on this island sell out fast.
