Skopelos Town is beautiful. We like staying in or around towns, there is a bit more life than being just by the beach but we dont like too much (rowdy) life!
The town isnt very big, although it might look it...

Write a review on Skopelos
Skopelos is situated just east of Skiathos and is the largest
island of the Sporades group, at 12 miles (19km) long and six miles
(10km) across. The fertile island is dominated by lush hills, thick
pine forests and olive groves, which in many places descend down to
the shoreline and make Skopelos an excellent island for exploring
on foot. Skopelos Town is a collection of charming, whitewashed
houses that cling to a steep hill behind the harbour, crowned by an
old fort. The town is home to more than 100 of the island's 380
churches. There are many beaches to choose from on Skopelos; most
can be reached by public bus, but some only by boat. Skopelos is
quieter and less well known than its neighbour Skiathos, offering a
more laid-back, relaxing, and romantic atmosphere, which is ideal
for those looking to get away from it all.
