IDEAL DESTINATION

Skopelos: The Lush Paradise of the Sporades

Nestled between Skiathos and Alonissos, Skopelos stands out as the greenest island in the Aegean, with dense pine forests reaching the sea. It blends authentic island tradition with tranquility and untouched beauty. Skopelos is ideal for relaxation, hiking, romance, and inspiring family holidays.

Enjoy the local cuisine in Skopelos

Skopelos is famous for its traditional twisted cheese pie, made with local goat cheese, sometimes paired in creative versions with strawberries and almonds. Other must-try dishes include grouper stifado, pork with plums, meat with quince, and locally raised goat. The flavors are hearty, local, and deeply satisfying.

Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Skopelos is during the summer season, from late May to mid-September. This is when you can enjoy its pristine turquoise beaches, explore charming villages, and fully experience its natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere.

How to use transportation in Skopelos

Airport/port transfer options

Skopelos is connected to mainland Greece by ferries from the ports of Volos, Evia (Mantoudi, Kimi) and Agios Konstantinos.

The island is also an ideal destination for island hopping in the Sporades, as it has frequent itineraries to the other islands of the complex and ferry tickets are quite cheap. Skiathos with its international airport is the nearest island connection.

Other choices are the airports of Thessaloniki (about 200 klm from the port of Volos) and Athens (about 350 klm from Volos)

Local transportation

Transportation to the island is done by KTEL buses that often run the route Skopelos Town – Glossa with intermediate stops on beaches and villages while there are taxis to facilitate you.

Dear Ms. Priya, Ms. Zoi and team

Greetings !

I would like to place on record our sincere appreciation for Ms. Zoi Stefanidou of MAZI Travel & Events, Athens, whom we were introduced to by Ms. Priya Rupani of Marc Asia Representations, Mumbai, India.

What began as our first transaction on 18 June turned into nearly 90 days of continuous coordination. Throughout this period, Ms. Zoi handled every change, amendments, emails, calls and WhatsApp messages with patience and professionalism. Irrespective of the business volume involved, she gave our requirements her full attention and responded whenever we needed assistance.

Her support during the Greece visa process deserves special mention. After our clients' visas were refused on their first application, Ms. Zoi personally assisted with follow-ups with the Embassy of Greece in New Delhi, including calls and emails. MAZI Travel also issued an official supporting letter with their credentials without asking us for any advance or deposit, placing their trust in us despite this being our first transaction.

That support made a real difference. All three visas were subsequently granted. It saved our clients from losing approximately INR 4,34,000 { Euro 47,780} on non-refundable, non-changeable air tickets and, more importantly, allowed them to fulfil their long-awaited dream of visiting Santorini.

The support did not stop once the visas were issued. Ms. Zoi remained in touch with us almost daily during the clients' stay to ensure that transfers and sightseeing arrangements operated smoothly. Her availability gave us the confidence to support our clients from India and deliver the level of service they expected.

Once the visas were granted, we naturally went back to Ms. Zoi and entrusted MAZI Travel with the complete ground arrangements for our clients in Santorini. She offered us excellent rates without compromising on the quality of services or inclusions. All airport transfers, sightseeing and activities were arranged through a reliable local ground operator, giving us confidence that our clients were in good hands.

One incident particularly reflects her commitment. Because of poor phone connectivity, our clients missed calls from the local service provider and were unable to join their scheduled full-day wine tasting tour. Ms. Zoi immediately worked on an alternative and confirmed the tour for the following day without any additional charge. She also arranged an excellent local ground operator for the transfers and sightseeing.

I am taking the time to write this because the professionalism and personal attention shown by Ms. Priya Rupani, Ms. Zoi Stefanidou and Mr. Sri M genuinely deserve recognition. They did not treat this as merely another booking. They stood with us through the visa uncertainty, numerous amendments and the clients' actual travel until the services were completed.

Our experience has given us the confidence not only to continue working with MAZI Travel & Events Group and Marc Asia Representations, but also to recommend them within our travel industry network.

We will gladly promote Greece as a destination and vouch for MAZI Travel & Events Group and Marc Asia Representations among our travel industry colleagues and partners.

Thank you, Ms. Priya, Ms. Zoi and Mr. Sri M, for the trust, patience and professional support extended to us throughout this journey. We look forward to sending many more travellers and groups to Greece together.

Thanking you,

Sincerely

Mahaboobulla Khan - CEO.

Athens 4 days Group Tour from Germany

Thank you very much for the group to Athens! They had a great time. They were very enthusiastic about the trip & guide Jason. he swimming/beach stop after Corinth was a big plus. They enjoyed the nature as addition to the city and culture. Always good to add that when visiting Corinth.

The location of the hotel was very good, so a bus transfer in the evening was not always necessary. They could have easily come back via the metro to the hotel. That would have saved us real money.

Thanks again and looking forward to all the coming groups!

Αthens, Santorini and Corfu

My Kids and I loved the trip except for our lost baggage from the Aegean airlines upon arrival at Athens at the start of the trip.Loved all the sightseeing. Tour guides and Pick up services were awesome!! Tour guides were very knowledgeable in their area and history of the city and my kids and I loved that. They answered all our questions. Pick up services were always on time.I just wish I had a little more time in Corfu to do the boat tour as I had planned. Wasn’t able to accomplish that. Loved the wine tasting, Oia and Fira in Santorini. Thank You so much for helping me plan this trip. Great memories made on this trip!!Savita
