Experience the Beauty of Skopelos Greece: Easy Travel Guide

Unlike neighboring Skiathos, which has its own airport, Skopelos does not. You have to take the ferry to get here. The ferry will bring you to one of three ports on the island, so choose the one closest to your hotel or destination. ➡️ Subscribe to my free newsletter for more no-nonsense travel info: https://jaredsdetours.kit.com/bc6660e946 For a complete guide, check out: https://www.jaredsdetours.com/skopelo... Skopelos looks like many of the Greek islands, with stone streets and whitewashed buildings. Parts of the town are newer construction, possibly the result of a surge in “Mamma Mia” tourists. Several parts of the movie were filmed here in 2007. You can drive or hike to a number of beaches, like Stafilos, home of the original settlement on Skopelos. It has a beach bar and lounge chairs, which get more crowded later in the day. The hike through olive groves includes some of the small monasteries and chapels that dot the island. A few miles down the coast is Amarantos Cove, a rocky spot used in the opening of the “Mamma Mia” movie. It’s a quick hike down the coast to Agnontas Beach, which is home to a row of coastal cafes and boat rental options. You can ride over to the quieter side of the island, and the port of Loutraki. It’s a steep, but worthwhile hike up old stone steps to the bigger town of Glossa, where you’ll find shops and restaurants which overlook the coastline. From Glossa, you can hike or take a car to one of the island’s most famous sites: the church on the rocks used in more scenes in “Mamma Mia.” From this side of the island, you’ll find smaller boats from the Loutraki port to take you back to Skiathos.
