Sporades: the complete list of islands
The wooded chain off Pelion and Evia: Skiathos, Skopelos, Alonissos — whose waters hold Greece’s first national marine park — and windswept Skyros further out on its own.
The main checklist counts 4 islands here — every inhabited Sporades island you can actually travel to. Populations are permanent residents, which is its own kind of surprise: some of the best-known islands are among the emptiest in winter.
| Island | Greek name | Residents |
|---|---|---|
| Alonissos | Αλόννησος | 3,138 |
| Skiathos | Σκιάθος | 5,802 |
| Skopelos | Σκόπελος | 4,696 |
| Skyros | Σκύρος | 3,052 |
The excursion islets
2 more islands of the Sporades sit in Pelagos’s optional expert tier — places you visit for an afternoon rather than stay on, scored separately so they never inflate the main count: Kyra Panagia, Peristera.
