Situated just off the Greek mainland in the azure Aegean Sea, the Sporades is an off-the-beaten-track archipelago where nature and peace reign supreme. Preserved from mass-tourism and peppered with unspoiled traditional villages, the islands of Skopelos and Alonissos are rated the greenest in Greece with wonderful, often-deserted beaches, fabulous food in sophisticated restaurants and seafront tavernas, boat and car rentals and more. Aromatic pine forests stretch down to pristine beaches with crystal-clear waters; spectacular views abound and the islands are crisscrossed by walking trails, dotted with ancient monasteries and imbued with an utterly relaxing atmosphere. 

The five Sporades villas available for the 2016 season are exclusive to The Thinking Traveller, guaranteeing their exceptional service. They can accommodate from 4 to 14 guests, and have superb sea views, infinity pools, Jacuzzis, easy access to dreamy beaches and laid-back tavernas, and more. 

They include:

• Maistros is currently the only Think Exquisite property in the Sporades Islands, and is located on Skopelos with private access to the beach below and a heated pool, it includes daily maid service
• Jura a superb villa with a panoramic pool,  a short walk to a beach and tavernas, located on the island of Alonnisos
