Enter your dates and see what NoStressTravel has for your exact stay.
Skopelos is the largest island of the Sporades, known for its pine forests that sweep down to the sea, traditional white houses, and numerous Orthodox churches. Throughout history it was an important maritime and trading hub of the northern Aegean, and today it is known for its well-preserved old town, tranquil coves, and hiking trails through olive groves and pine forests. It gained wider recognition as one of the filming locations for the movie Mamma Mia!, but the identity of the island is defined above all by its nature, traditional architecture, and relaxed Mediterranean way of life.

Everything you need for Skopelos in one place
A small 19th-century chapel perched on a rock above the sea, reached by approximately 100 steps. It is widely known as a filming location for the movie Mamma Mia!, but it remains an active pilgrimage site with panoramic views of the Aegean Sea. Comfortable footwear is recommended for the climb.
The old town of Skopelos stretches above the harbor and is known for its white houses, stone slate roofs, and narrow cobblestone streets that climb up the hillside. Its streets are home to more than 120 churches and chapels, and most of the sights can be visited on foot.
A 13th-century Venetian fortress situated on top of a hill above Hora, with the remains of towers and defensive walls. From the plateau, a panoramic view stretches over the harbor, surrounding islands, and the Aegean Sea. The fortress is reached on foot through the narrow streets of the old town.
The trail through the interior of the island leads through olive groves, pine forest, and past old stone walls to the Evangelistria monastery, one of the oldest on Skopelos.
