Description

Holidays to Skopelos showcase some of the most unspoiled scenery in the Aegean. This island is draped in virgin pinewoods and fringed by sandy bays with a Hollywood flair .
Very green, very serene

Eye-catching landscapes, azure waters on golden coasts, traditional Pelion architecture, rugged natural monuments and a pure island atmosphere are all essential elements of the image of this, the greenest island in Greece, more than half of whose territory is covered with virgin pine forest.

Skopelos Town

The island’s capital and harbour , Skopelos Town, lets you take it easy by day, and let your hair down at night. The town is bracketed by pea-green hills, and full of faded white cottages that tumble down to the waterfront. Kastro, which is the name of the town’s old quarter, is set up high on the hilltop. Follow the stepped alleyways up to its Venetian castle, and the sea views of the Aegean stretch out for miles. Come nightfall, the whole city springs into life, with people spilling out of the tiny bars and restaurants.

Things to Do

North and south

Skopelos doesn’t specialise in one type of beach – it’s got the works. The coastline here is a medley of pebbly coves, sandy bays and rocky shores. You’ll find some of the best stretches of sand along the south and west coasts, although they tend to get busy in the summer. If you’re after a bit more space, try to lesser-visited north coast.

The big beach

Stafilos Beach really pulls in the crowds. Scalloped deep into the island’s southern shore, this horseshoe-shaped bay boasts soft golden sands and shallow waters. It’s backed by pine trees, and there’s a lovely taverna above the sand, which serves up Greek food and views across the bay.
