Skopelos hasn´t an international airport. There is something about arriving by ferry at a picturesque Greek port that has an relaxing mood. Since the famous film musical Abba "Mama Mia" with Meryl Streep, the small islet has been famous with its dream beaches. You can get there by ferry from Skiathos or from the main land Pelion ( Volos). The islet has maintained a refreshing authenticity.
Skopelos is a holiday destination for unspoilt island life quiet beaches, walks through green and mountainous inland, far away from all.
A special highlight is the rock by Agios Giannis, where the popular musical film "Mamma Mia" by Abba was filmed with Meryl Streep. The climb was a bit difficult for us, we wondered for an entire film crew with equipment?
An hour-long ferry ride follows getting from Skiathos to Skopelos.
It is no mean feat getting to skopelos the only way to get there by air is via neighbouring island Skiathos.
Skopelos Town is a picturesque small port. It is one of the most beautiful ports in the country.
Built amphitheatrically hillside sprawl of white washed houses , with a ruined Venetian fortress.
Skopelos has two towns Skopelos Town and Glossa in the north-west. The most touris are accommodated in Skopelos-Town. The harbour area is surrounded by some taverns and self catering apartment houses, it still retains much of its charm.
The town Glossa with its whitewashed houses is more authentic.
The area of Glossa is rich in springs olive trees, plum trees and almond trees dominate the landscape.
The architecture of Skopelos is influenced by the Macedonians. Two-storey houses with tile roofs and wooden balconies.
Glossa seems to have existed since the minoan era as traces of pre-historic housing were discovered. In many parts of the town there are ancient towers.
The green island is still very pristine and only a tourist area in July - September. The mountainous island is about 35 kilometers long with few roads. In the west, southwest you will find the most beautiful beaches. Thickly forested with fragrant pine trees.
