There’s no better spot to explore Greece’s charms than this stunning, undeveloped island, which might start accepting visitors as early as May.
Stephen Bayley of The Daily Mail claims to have been savoring the island’s wild charm for a very long time.
Stephen Bayley writes, “My wife and I have been enjoying its rustic appeal for a long time, and we hope to be back soon now that Greece is sending out encouraging signs about embracing the visitors this summer.”
Who is Skopelos:
Skopelos, an island and it’s capital city in the Sporades archipelago of the Aegean, is a good place to go for untamed environmental exploration.
One of the peaks of an underwater mountain range, Skopelos is a massive green eruption in blue water. It was described as “unvisited” by Guy Pentreath in his book Greek Traveller from 1964. Obviously, a lot has changed! Skopelos was famous for its wine more than its monuments because it was built by the son of the deity Dionysus.
Even though there is a yearly Plum Dance, the local museum hardly possesses any ceramics. And Meryl Streep imitated her by dancing on the dock in Mamma Mia, which is still the island’s greatest contribution to cultural history.
Skopelos’ seafloor is a masterpiece with an exciting and enigmatic past! The island encourages you to take advantage of the services of qualified specialists and explore its magnificent underwater sceneries and more than 15 diving locations.
You may see a variety of different birds on this enthralling island, and they will chirp to you as you go on your outdoor adventures!
Tall plane trees with pink blooms provide shade and cooling comfort next to creeks, streams, and ravines.
How to get there:
The best way to travel to Skopelos due to the absence of airports is via boat. The solitude that yachting affords you makes travel safer during the COVID-19 crisis, which is another reason to select sailing this summer.
The island is always connected to the port of Volos, but during the summer, two additional routes from Euboea (Mantoudi and Kymi) and Agios Konstantinos greatly increase the island’s connectivity. Moreover, daily services connect Skopelos to the neighboring ports of Skiathos and Alonnisos.
Things to do:
It is the ideal place for experiencing the untamed nature of the Greek islands because of the breathtaking foliage and the wonderful sea view. Skopelos has a lot of fascinating hiking paths and is primarily covered in forest. The Venetian Castle, the Rock of Kastri, and Panormos, a natural harbor between pines and rocks that is the ideal anchorage for sailing yachts, are three of the island’s most remarkable features.
You should try without a doubt. The so-called SUP often referred to as paddle boarding, is the newest fad in the world of water sports! This particular water sport has its roots in the early history of the African continent when similar methods of transportation and fishing were practiced.
Currently, it is primarily employed as a kind of full-body workout, a stress reliever, and a method to appreciate nature. It is simple to see how advantageous paddleboarding on the stunning Aegean waves could be for you and your loved ones. Attempt SUP to explore the island’s stunning beaches, enigmatic caverns, and many more undiscovered gems.
You might attempt the distinctive scuba-diving experience and perhaps earn your scuba diver certification with such a range of diving locations!
Skopelos ticks all the requirements for a surreal underwater adventure in the Northern Sporades when it comes to wreck diving tourism. The National Marine Park of Alonissos and Northern Sporades, widely known as the largest marine park in Europe, hosts tremendous marine biodiversity and a great number of shipwrecks, the silent but unquestionable witnesses of the age-old Aegean civilization.
The dominant question every day is ‘Which beach?’
The numerous beautiful beaches on Skopelos, commonly known as “Pirates of the…Aegean,” are another reason to travel there by boat!
Many idyllic beaches will enchant you with their turquoise waters and their amazing vegetation, which, without exaggeration, truly slopes into the sea!
Lacy seashores produce natural nooks and caves that will transport you to a previous era when fearless pirates would launch attacks from the island’s least-traveled regions.
The history of Skopelos includes pirates, but the numerous beaches on the island still provide a very real risk of breaking your heart.
You can select a beach that is organized or unorganized, sandy, pebbly, or rocky, appropriate for families, couples, or young people, and equipped with taverns or beach bars.
