The Neighborhood:
Skopelos Town, also known locally as Chora, is the picturesque capital and main port of Skopelos Island in the Northern Sporades of Greece. Built amphitheatrically around a sheltered bay, the town is a beautiful blend of traditional whitewashed houses, red-tiled roofs, flower-filled balconies, and winding stone-paved alleys. As you wander through its maze-like streets, you'll come across charming hidden squares, ornate old mansions, and more than a hundred small chapels, each with its own character and history. One of the most iconic sights is the Church of Panagitsa of Pyrgos, perched dramatically at the edge of the old town, offering a breathtaking view over the Aegean Sea. The climb to the top is well worth the effort, especially at sunset.
Another highlight of the town is the Venetian Castle (Kastro) that crowns the hill above the harbor. Built on the ruins of an ancient acropolis, it dates back to the 13th century and provides panoramic views over the rooftops of Skopelos, the harbor, and the surrounding sea. The town also boasts a handful of museums that give a glimpse into its cultural heritage. The Skopelos Folklore Museum is housed in a traditional mansion and displays local costumes, textiles, tools, and photographs, reflecting the islanders' way of life from centuries past. There's also the Vakratsa Mansion, a restored 18th-century home filled with antique furniture and family heirlooms that once belonged to one of the island’s prominent families.
Skopelos Town is also known for its vibrant atmosphere. Along the waterfront, a lively promenade is lined with cafés, bars, tavernas, and shops, where you can enjoy everything from fresh seafood to traditional Skopelite cheese pie (tyropita), made with crispy spiral filo dough. At night, the town comes alive with a relaxed buzz as locals and visitors mingle, dine al fresco, and enjoy live Greek music in the small squares and tavern courtyards. Despite its popularity, the town has managed to retain a strong sense of authenticity and local life.
Beyond the town, Skopelos is famous for its stunning beaches, many of which are surrounded by lush pine forests that come right down to the water’s edge. These beaches are easily accessible from the town and each offers its own unique character.
Just 4 kilometers from Skopelos Town is Stafilos Beach, a crescent-shaped bay with a mix of sand and pebbles and clear, shallow waters. It’s one of the most popular beaches on the island and has a beach bar and sunbeds for rent. A short path over the headland from Stafilos leads to Velanio Beach, a more secluded and tranquil option. Velanio is partly naturist and is known for its peaceful surroundings and unspoiled beauty, with steep green hills enclosing its pebbly shore. About 8 kilometers to the southwest lies Agnontas Beach, a small pebble beach set within a natural harbor. This spot is also a working fishing port, so it’s not uncommon to see fishermen unloading their daily catch as you enjoy a meal at one of the waterfront tavernas. Agnontas is particularly beautiful in the late afternoon when the light reflects off the calm bay. Around 10 kilometers from the town is Limnonari Beach, a stunning cove with fine sand and calm, crystal-clear waters. The name Limnonari means “small lake,” and it's well suited to swimmers of all levels. The water here is typically very still, and the beach is framed by dramatic rock formations and pine-covered slopes. There are a couple of tavernas nearby and sunbeds for rent, making it a comfortable spot for a full day at the beach. Panormos Beach, approximately 12 kilometers west of Skopelos Town, is one of the largest and most organized beaches on the island. With its deep, clear waters and long stretch of white pebbles, it’s ideal for both sunbathing and swimming. The beach is well-equipped with restaurants, beach bars, and accommodations nearby, and it's often praised for its magical sunsets over the bay. Just a short drive beyond Panormos lies Milia Beach, around 15 kilometers from the town. Milia is considered one of the most beautiful beaches on the island, with its long shore divided by a rocky outcrop and surrounded by lush greenery. The views of the small islet of Dassia just offshore add to its scenic appeal. Right next to Milia is Kastani Beach, roughly 16 kilometers from Skopelos Town, which gained international fame after appearing in the film Mamma Mia! Known for its striking blue-green waters and sandy shoreline, Kastani also features a vibrant beach bar and occasionally hosts beach parties during the summer months.
