| At a close distance from the northern coasts
of Evia Island and the peninsula of Magnissia prefecture at the
geographical district of Thessalia, the Sporades Islands and
a small cluster of islets, most of which are uninhabited, create

can be reached by Agios Konstantinos, Volos and Kymi, Evia.. |
The history of Sporades was affected by the important geographical
location of the islands. Traces from the Paleolithic Era were
found at the region Kokkinokastro of Alonnissos. Sporades reached
their acme during the Protoelladic and Minoan Era and took part
in the Persian Wars as well. Sporades decayed during the Byzantine
Era, were occupied by the turks, they took part in the Russian-Turkish
Wars and were finally liberated in 1830 with the Protocol of
London.
