Σίγουρα μια από τις πιο δημοφιλής δραστηριότητες το καλοκαίρι στη χώρας είναι η κατάδυση . Ένας άλλος κόσμος διαφορετικός εκεί κάτω που σε περιμένει να τον εξερευνήσεις !! Τα τελευταία χρόνια όλα και περισσότερα κέντρα καταδύσεων εμφανίζονται σε διάφορα μέρη της χώρας μας αλλά και παγκοσμίως αφού πολλοί επισκέπτες δεν αρκούνται στην εξερεύνηση πάνω από την θάλασσα αλλά θέλουν να γνωρίσουν και τον πλούτο που βρίσκεται κάτω από αυτή . Και καλά κάνουν :)

Στις Σποράδες και πιο ειδικότερα στη Σκόπελο και την Αλόννησο έχουμε ενα από τα καλύτερα καταδυτικά κέντρα πιστοποιημένο από την PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) SporadesDiving. Στην ιστοσελίδα τους θα δείτε όλες τις δραστηριότητες που μπορείτε να κάνετε μαζί τους και φυσικά να ξεκινήσετε μαθήματα καταδύσεων κοντά σε έμπειρους δύτες .

Eξοπλισμός DSB

Όσον αφορά την Σκόπελο έχουμε δύο καταδυτικές βάσεις μία στη Xώρα και μία στο Πάνορμο μέσα στο ξενοδοχείο Adrina . Εγώ θα επισκεφτώ την βάση στο Πάνορμο και θα κάνω DSD (Discover Scuba Diving) .Κατά την διάρκεια θα μάθω πώς να χρησιμοποιώ τον εξοπλισμό κατάδυσης σε ρηχά νερά και θα κάνουμε μια γρήγορη και εύκολη εισαγωγή σε ό,τι χρειάζεται για να εξερευνήσουμε τον υποβρύχιο κόσμο.

Έτοιμοι για δράση !!!

Οι Βόρειες Σποράδες εκτός από το μεγαλύτερο σε έκταση θαλάσσιο πάρκο της Ευρώπης φιλοξενούν κι ένα πλήθος ναυαγίων από όλο το ιστορικό εύρος. Το “Χριστόφορος” είναι ίσως το πιο καλοδιατηρημένο ναυάγιο πλοίου στην ευρύτερη περιοχή . Μετά από πρωτοβουλία της καταδυτικής ομάδας προσφέρεται πλέον για υποβρύχιες επισκέψεις σε όσους έχουν ή θέλουν να αποκτήσουν την ανάλογη εμπειρία σε τέτοιου είδους καταδύσεις. Δυστυχώς εμείς για πρώτο μάθημα θα μείνουμε στα βασικά και θα κινηθούμε γιαλό γιαλό :)

Σε αυτό το σημείο θα ήθελα να ευχαριστήσω το Skopelos Dive Center για αυτή την εμπειρία που έζησα κάτω από το νερό και φυσικά την Δασκάλα μας Ευγενία evyeniabartz. Σίγουρα αυτό ήταν μόνο η αρχή εύχομαι περισσότερες εμπειρίες και εικόνες από τον υποβρύχιο κόσμο . Σύντομα θα ανεβάσω και vlog .

Skopelos is one of the islands of the Northern Sporades, the second island in the series after Skiathos. It has an area of approximately 96 sq. km and a perimeter of 67 km. It has two mountains, Palouki (565 m height) and Delfi (680 m height).

Full of thick forests covering almost 80% of its area, it is considered to be the greenest island of the Aegean. Skopelos Town is a traditional island town with typical architecture and beautiful cobblestone streets. It has been declared a traditional settlement. Its nature is stunning and there is a network of stone-built cobblestone paths and paths, surrounded by plane trees, pine trees and cool springs.

The Retsina Path is one of the many old paved paths (cobbled streets) of Skopelos. These paths were the old roads of the island before the bulldozers came to make roads for cars. Many cobbled streets have been destroyed, but fortunately some of their great parts are still preserved. Of course, they had been abandoned as islanders preferred to approach their property with the vehicle rather than walking or mule (and who could blame them!) In recent years, many of these forgotten trails have been re-discovered by volunteers, these were marked and mapped and they are at the disposal of the hikers. These cobbled streets are works of art and craftsmanship. It was so constructed that they could last for centuries and hard use. They pass through shady forested areas, away from traffic and dust and of course are ideal for mountain trekking.

The "Retsina path" was the main link between Skopelos Town and Elios (Neo Klima). It was used by the resin collectors, who made their living from the collection of retsina from the pine trees. They handed her to the Reservoir Cottage at Elios Beach and from there was transported by boats to central Greece.

The trail crosses all Skopelos in its central part, with wonderful views in several places.

Length: 11,16 km

Maximum Altitude: 446m.

Duration: 4 hours (net hiking time)

Sentoukia Skopelos

After a busy month of continuous work and without real free time, the day that I was going to visit my homeland came. I enjoy once a year to escape to the island in the winter.Τhe winter on the island is completely different from the summer. I enjoy the walks in the deserted streets of the village, listening only to the sounds of nature.It's magical feeling when you are trying to forget the city's dungeon.

I chose to travel with a Motocycle since the weather was very good for the season and secondly we move more comfortable without restrictions on the island.

We will start from Athens to Mantoudi where it is the port from where we will take the ship to pass across the island! ANES LINES here is the Web Site which you will find the route schedule.Αll the way after the city of chalkis is exciting, whenever you want you can take a break to enjoy nature and breathe fresh air .

Skopelos is a green island with rich natural beauty.The days that I will be here will explore paths to the mountain of the Delphi which is the highest point on the island 681 meters.Τhere are many routes that you can cross unfortunately are not mapped. I hope in the future I can do it. at the moment I will try to give as much information as I can.

Route to the top of the Delphi (681m) :

From the village Neo Klima we take the regional road to the city Skopelos as soon as you pass the chapel of Saint Riginos 4.7km turn Left From Sentoukia and follow the road for 900m and continue the path from the left for another 1.6 km turn left for about 250 meters when the road ends. From this point we will hike to the top where we will find an Observatory used by a Fire Brigade to check for any fires around the island.
