Villas in Skopelos
Skopelos is the largest island in the Northern Sporades group, yet remains charmingly untainted by mass tourism. Lush green hillsides carpeted with pine and olive trees sweep down across the countryside, earning Skopelos its worthy title of ‘the Emerald of the Aegean’. Its pretty white-washed houses spill in layers down the hillsides giving a truly Greek scene whilst the dense pine forests provide a beautiful backdrop for olive groves and wonderful plum, almond and citrus orchards. Days can be spent exploring the wonderful interior of the island, lounging on lovely sand and shingle beaches and discovering pebble coves. This unspoilt island is reached from the neighbouring island, Skiathos. Guests can pre book tansfers from Skiathos airport to the island of Skopelos via ferry. The fast hydrofoil service from Skiathos takes a mere twenty minutes to reach the small port of Glossa at the island’s north-western tip, you will disembark the ferry at either Glossa or Skopelos port, depending on the location of your villa.

- Beautiful, relatively unspoiled island with excellent, quiet and clean beaches.
A real opportunity to wind down, relax and remember that life is to be enjoyed.

- The three beaches we visited were Panormos, Kastani and Milia. Mostly pebble but that wasn’t an issue for us. Very quiet and peaceful. No hassle from sellers and super restaurant at Panormos. The Agios Ioannis (Mamma Mia chapel) was well worth a visit and Skopelos Town. We were not at Skopelos at night but apparently it’s very lively. Lowish score for nightlife as we were at Loutraki and it’s small and quiet. Nice restaurants but not really a nightlife place as far as we could see and we didn’t want that scene.

- There are some very large “wasps” that hang around the pool area. They didn’t sting us because we remained calm and didn’t try to sway them but they are a little disconcerting.

- The return journey back to the UK was terrible - 15 hours from the leaving the villa to getting off the plane at Gatwick. Thisis our 2nd trip to Skopelos with Enter Air - minimal food available on the return - we had to disembark for re-fuelling at Volos (which added to the journey time) when on a previous trip we stayed on the plane for re-fuelling. On arrival at Gatwick the pilot pulled into a remote parking bay but we were held on the plane for 45mins to disembark as we were told there was no ground crew available - similar to what happened last year. So we had a 5am start - a 7am ferry to Skiathos and then 5 hours hanging around the port in Skiathos before proceeding to the airport - this made for a very long day. Surely there are more favourable travel options? Finally we were interested in staying at the Villa for another week (it was available) but were told by the Rep that this was not possible because there were no return journeys available. Despite the 'improvements' at Skiathos airport check in was chaotic with only one bag scanner working intermittently - queues were long.

- The whole island is beautiful and the people are the friendliest we've met in 14 years of going to Greece.

- If you need to be entertained constantly you may struggle on Skopelos unless you're based in Skopelos Town. Again not an issue for us.
