SkopelosThe Mamma Mia island

Unspoiled beauty, lush landscapes, tree-studded beaches, secluded bays, and charming atmosphere: this is Skopelos, the hidden gem of northern Aegean.

If your holiday priorities are tranquillity, relaxation, and natural beauty, then make your way to Skopelos. Layer upon layer of luscious shades of green create a stunning vista of pine trees stretching out to the seashore, where you will find hidden coves with fishing boats and winding paths leading through dense forests.

Follow the network of paths that crisscross the island and discover hidden gems such as the picturesque chapel of Agios Ioannis in Kastri, the church where “Donna Sheridan and Sam Carmichael” got married, or the scenic trail that leads to the stunning beach of Kastani, where many of the “Mamma Mia” shootings were made. Marvel the island’s lush green forests, olive groves, and blooming wildflowers, creating a serene backdrop for your adventures.

Whitewashed houses, colorful courtyards, labyrinthine winding alleys, sapphire and cherry doors, fuchsia bougainvillea, and charming chapels rise like castles in the traditional Skopelos Chora. This is the main town, and it beckons you to immerse yourself in its beauty, especially when you take a break at an “ouzeri” or have a drink under the mulberry trees.

Visit Glossa village, a small community built into the hillside of the northwestern part of the island that keeps the old traditions alive. It is known for its sleepy streets and the church of Panagia Eleutherotria (The Liberator). It is here that a shipwrecked sailor would come to pray for his safety. The story goes that he found the Virgin Mary’s icon and was saved. In the village, you will see a pottery workshop that keeps old traditions alive.

The most incredible charm of Skopelos lies in its tranquil and laid-back atmosphere. The island embraces a slower pace of life, allowing you to relax, unwind, and escape the stresses of everyday life. Immerse yourself in the island’s natural beauty, connect with the friendly locals, and let the genuine warmth and hospitality of Skopelos leave a lasting impression in your heart!
