The Cyclades can be visited all year round. The islands are warm and nice from April to November, when the beaches are at their best, but if you want to avoid the many tourists, it's better to go in the winter, when it's a bit cooler.
When it is 12.00 in England, it is 14.00 in the Sporades.
The main attractions in The Sporades are the fantastic beaches, the beautiful, green scenery and the great possibilities for doing water sports.
If you're looking for a great nightlife, Skiathos is the island to visit, as it never seems to sleep and have plenty of bars and discos to choose from.
There is a good deal of hotels, but you'll need to book well in advance, as the islands are very popular. Hotels and pensions are quite expensive, but there are also some camping sites on the islands.

It is possible to get a taxi in the Sporades, but only in the main towns and ports, and even here, there are only a few of them.
There are only a few local buses in the Sporades, but a lot of ferries sailing between the islands and the mainland. Many people rent a scooter or a motorcycle to get around.
If you're looking for peace and quiet, then stay away Skiathos. The island is infested with young people in a party mood during the high season, and there's never a quiet moment.
