39° 9.9′ N · 23° 29.7′ E · approximate

The Sporades are not in a hurricane belt, but Mediterranean storms can be destructive: Storm Daniel (September 2023) damaged the Skiathos charter pontoon and blew a taverna annexe off its foundations at Megalos Aselinos.

Practical

Representative point at Skiathos. In September–November watch forecasts (meteo.gr, Poseidon, Olympia Radio) for deep lows and medicanes; the most sheltered refuges here are Planitis, the Panormos south cove and Votsi.
