Skopelos Holidays, 5 – 8 days

Dedicate your morning to visiting the iconic chapel of Agios Ioannis Kastri. Climb the 110 stone steps carved into the rock to enjoy breathtaking, sweeping views of the Aegean—an experience made famous by the movie Mamma Mia!.

In the afternoon, head to the nearby village of Glossa, known as the “balcony of the Aegean.” Wander its narrow streets, admire the Macedonian-style architecture, and conclude your day watching a magnificent sunset with a glass of local wine.

Begin your day by exploring the majestic Mount Palouki, home to a cluster of historic Byzantine monasteries such as Evangelistria and Timios Prodromos. Walk the scenic trails connecting these spiritual havens, deeply immersed in lush pine forests.

In the afternoon, rest your legs and enjoy a hearty meal at a traditional mainland eatery, sampling dishes cooked with local plums, which are a staple of Skopelitian cuisine.

Embark on a morning hike up Mount Delphi to discover the mysterious “Sendoukia,” four ancient graves carved directly into the bedrock, wrapped in local pirate legends and offering incredible panoramic views extending to neighboring islands.

In the afternoon, take a peaceful drive back to Chora to visit local artisan shops. Discover the island’s rich tradition of pottery, micro-shipbuilding, and knife-making, and relax with a Greek coffee in a charming, quiet neighborhood square.

Spend your final morning walking along the peaceful, pine-fringed shores of Agnontas or Panormos bay. Even outside the summer months, these natural harbors are incredibly atmospheric, with the green trees reflecting perfectly in the calm, emerald waters.

Stroll past the quiet coastline, picking up authentic local souvenirs like sweet plum preserves (avgato) and almond sweets before relaxing with a final frappe or Greek coffee by the port, soaking in the island vibes one last time before heading to the ferry for your departure.
