Skopelos Holidays - Travel Guide

Traditional Greek charm…

Skopelos is the largest of the islands in the Northern Sporades archipelago, famed for its incredibly green hilly scenery that seems to tumble right down into the crystal blue Aegean Sea. Skopelos Town is – naturally – the island’s capital and sets the general tone of Skopelos holidays. Boasting laid-back locals who enjoy a traditional approach to life, along with whitewashed houses, cobbled streets, multi coloured fishing boats and tavernas aplenty, it’s the quintessential Greek holiday destination.

Incredible green scenery…

But whilst “traditional Greek charm” is a phrase often bounded about with regards to Greek island holiday destinations, Skopelos has an ace up its sleeve – greenery. The island is covered in lush vegetation, forest and woodland. The scenery truly is striking; it’s an absolute feast for walkers, adventurers and nature lovers alike. But it doesn’t stop at greenery – secret coves and secluded beaches are also in abundance, and hiring a boat for the day to find your own hidden corner of Skopelos is guaranteed to be a highlight of your holiday.

Beaches, tavernas and sun...

Beaches on Skopelos are famously clean, varied and considered by many to be some of the best in Greece. If you want pebbles or soft white sand, you’re covered for either here, and the quiet laid-back nature of the island will ensure you can enjoy them in peace. After sunbathing, how about some traditional Greek food in one of the island’s many locally owned tavernas? Seafood, Greek and Italian dishes are popular on Skopelos, ensuring pretty much every possible holidaymaker is catered for. Overall, if you’re looking for a traditional Greek island holiday and a chance to soak up some unspoilt scenery and culture, Skopelos holidays are absolutely ideal.
