Skópelos, Greece | The ultimate Travel guide

You will certainly have heard of Skopelos, it is one of the most beautiful Greek islands, so photogenic that it was used as a set for the film "Mamma Mia", the famous Abba musical! Skopelos is a small pearl nestled between the tourist Skiathos, which has now become the main destination of the Sporades Islands, and Alonissos, more private and quiet and is a perfect mix between the two. This balance perhaps makes it one of the most beautiful and evocative islands in all of Greece for several reasons: It is one of the most lush Greek islands, with forests that practically reach all the way to the sea; the nightlife, although not as wild as Skiathos, is well organized and finally its small size allows it to be explored by car, scooter but also on foot. If you are looking for a perfect summer escape, Skopelos is the perfect place. With its breathtaking nature, its hidden beaches and its unspoiled charm, this island will amaze anyone. If you are going there for the first time, don't worry! We have created a useful guide on what to see in Skopelos and the most beautiful beaches to visit but also many other tips.. Inside you will find: 📆Best Time to visit 🚊Transportations 🏨 Where to stay 🏛️What to visit ☕️cafés 🍽️restaurants 🍹cocktail bar and nightlife 🎒 activities and excursions ✨unusual places 📌4 day itineraries And lots of other information and advice that will help you plan your stay in the best possible way...

When to go to Skopelos?

Il periodo migliore per visitare Skopelos e le Isole Sporadi in generale va da aprile a settembre.La stagione turistica prende il via a fine aprile con le celebrazioni della Pasqua ortodossa e prosegue fino al mese di ottobre. Se vi state chiedendo quando andare sappiate che nei mesi di luglio e agosto le isole Sporadi sono molto affollate,calde, e i prezzi sono lievemente più alti. A maggio e giugno l’isola è ancora tranquilla: l’acqua inizia a riscaldarsi, il giorno le temperature sono alte ma non opprimenti mentre la sera sono piacevolmente fresche. Secondo gli isolani settembre è il mese migliore per visitare le Sporadi: le isole si incominciano a svuotare, il mare è caldo, le spiagge sono tranquille e le vie ideali per una passeggiata al tramonto e un po’ di shopping nelle botteghe artigiane.

Come arrivare?

Pur essendo la più grande delle Sporadi Settentrionali, Skopelos non è dotata di un aeroporto, perciò il modo più semplice per arrivarci è quello di acquistare un volo per l'isola di Skiathos e poi, da lì, proseguire a bordo di un traghetto, che in circa due ore ti porterà al porto di Skopelos Town.

Molto spesso però questa non è la soluzione più economica ecco perché una valida alternativa (decisamente più faticosa) è quella di arrivare ad Atene e da lì raggiungere uno dei quattro porti collegati con l'isola: il Pireo, Rafina, Agios Kostantinos e Volos.
