Skopolos was beautiful, probably our favourite Greek island. There were however much better beaches with better restaurants further down the coast. Transfers from Skiathos are easy and the bus service to several excellent beaches and skopolos town is very reliable

The port of Loutrakion is small but Glossa is really worth visiting. There are a lot of small streets where you can get amazing sea views and can wander around the houses on the hill side. A couple of very lovely taverns and shops, a lot of supermarkets as well. Definitely recomend this area if you’re looking for a quiet area with great views!

Lovely port with nice, village feel to it. Although its a port, the ferries are only arriving a few times a day. Seven restaurants in the village were open when we were there (early June) serving Pizzas and snacks to Fish Restaurants we visited most and the food was excellent, as was the service and staff, Artemis Taverna was our favorite, providing local food with daily specials. Try the baked feta and the grilled 'shrimp' with the Skopelos Cream Pie to follow. Superb. You will need a taxi to get to Glossa in the summer months - too hot to walk, we walked it once - 67 flights of stairs later!! We did take the long way up though, easy to walk back down. Small, but well stocked Supermarket. Nice clean natural beaches, lots of small coves along the waterfront, clear water, great for snorkeling. Lovely friendly people. Lots of villas dotted around, car would be essential if you were using self catering. Ferry tickets are available from the ticket office, ferries are very easy to use to get to Skopelos main town and Skiathos Island. Taxi rank if you don't have a car - take a card for use throughout your stay if you don't hire a car you can just call and they will drop you off/collect you - we used Giannis and he was brilliant. Cost about 40 euros to go to Skiathos one way by taxi. Its a small island so you are only about 20 minutes maximum from the main organised beaches. The bus service is also excellent, the times on the bus stands are the times the bus leaves Loutrakis. They are a bit confusing. Will definitely return.
