The (Northern) Sporades [a] are an archipelago along the east coast of Greece, northeast of the island of Euboea,[2] in the Aegean Sea. They consist of 24 islands, four of which are permanently inhabited: Alonnisos, Skiathos, Skopelos and Skyros.[2] They may also be referred to as the Thessalian Sporades (Θεσσαλικές Σποράδες).
