Arriving from Skiathos, you dock first at Loutraki below the mountainside village of Glossa. Staying aboard, you steam along the eastern coast and into Skopelos Bay, marvel at this incredibly green island, its pine covered mountains and 20 miles of beaches and coves; allowing the people of Skopelos to revel in the overall tranquility in contrast to their busier neighbours in Skiathos. 

The port town of Skopelos is one of the most beautiful in all Greece. Rows of tall white houses with red tile roofs gaze down upon the activity in the harbour below. Hidden among the maze of quaint cobbled streets (so narrow and steep cars can forget it!) are 125 churches, surprisingly sophisticated shops and atop it all, the ruins of a Venetian fortress. 

There is Stafilos beach 4km away, easily reached by regular bus, with a lovely cliff top taverna and next-door Velanio beach, outside the main town. Otherwise, the tiny hamlet of Agnontas has a pretty port, or there's the secluded beach of Limnonari. In the evenings everyone gathers under the plane trees that line the harbour front, trying to choose from the many tavernas, dancing bars or disco. 

Approximate time from Skiathos airport to port 10 minutes, then ferry crossing; 1 hour 30 minutes (hydrofoil crossing is 55 minutes), followed by a 10 to 30 minutes coach journey.
