They often describe it as the most “green island in the Aegean” and it certainly claims the title of one of the most beautiful in the whole of Greece. Skopelos is a destination that offers you the peace and the rest you looking for even if you go there for a few days. It is the graphical one of the Sporades, ideal for lovers of all types of holidays. So you’re going to have just as much fun by yourself or with your family or with your partner. The green Aegean island looks like a painting in which you can spend a beautiful three-day period.
As soon as you set foot in Skopelos, you’ll see a rare landscape. A unique combination of turquoise waters with a green landscape of trees. Skopelos is characterized by dense forests covering almost 80% of its size and has been officially declared as a green and blue island by the international organization biopolitics.
Within a three-day period, you can see many beaches, get to know Chora, and take several walks around. Let’s start from the beaches. There you will swim in turquoise and crystal clear waters with trees that reach the edge of the beach. The island is famous for having some of the most beautiful Aegean beaches. A multitude of pine trees will make sure you have natural shade and you can stay there from morning to night.
From the beaches, we have definitely distinguished Panormos. It’s a beach we recommend you to go from noon and stay until dusk. And that’s why you should feel like you’re swimming in a river of golden water as the sun fades at the bottom of the horizon. An idyllic beach is also Milia with dozens of pine trees touching the water.
