Belonging to Greece, the (Northern) SPORADES islands are in the western part of the Aegean Sea, east of mainland Greece, and north of Euboea island. Many islands are uninhabited, except for the four largest ones (Alónnisos, Skíathos, Skópelos, & Skýros) and a few small islands. Small inhabited islands, like Adelfoi, Peristéra, and Pipéri, possess populations hovering barely above zero. Below is a partial list of the Sporades islands with no human inhabitants.
Uninhabited Sporades islands: Erinia, Gioúra, Lechoussa, Pélagos, Psathoura, Sarakinó, Skantilion, Skantzoúra, Skyropoúla, Tsougkria, & Valáxa.
