✨Stunning Skopelos✨
🇬🇷Skopelos is a beautiful island located between Skiathos and Alonissos. Its picture-perfect setting and its unspoiled charm make Skopelos a popular holiday destination, especially for families and couples. Skopelos has become one of the famous Greek islands as one of the filming locations of the Hollywood movie Mamma Mia💃
Being twice the size of its neighbour, Skiathos, but much more peaceful, Skopelos with its flower filled courtyards,💐 pretty cobbled streets and hillsides blanketed by greenery.🌳 It paints a breathtaking picture on your approach into the harbour upon arrival🛳
Over one hundred tiny chapels 💒are dotted around the town creating a striking contrast against the deep blue skies. More than 50% of the island is covered by a virgin forest of pine trees. Skopelos has been referred to as the "Green and Blue Island" due to its vast amount of lush green forest, and beautiful blue sea.🏝 The island is a haven for walkers and hikers, offering breathtaking scenery, as well as beautiful flora and fauna. The island features hiking trails of varying terrain - so whether you'd looking for a leisurely walk or a more challenging hike, a holiday in Skopelos is ideal for you.😍
All over the island honey🐝 is collected and sold in small stores and supermarkets. The olive press in Glossa collects and sells olive oils in attractive bottles. There are several families on the island who collect fruits (plums, cherries)🍒 and make sweets from them. It is called in Greece "one spoonful of sweetness"😋 and it is served on a small plate with a small spoon with the fruit and with a small cup of Greek coffee. There is one shop which sells just those products; plums, cherries, oranges, mandarin, grapes, figs, quince and courgettes in syrup. Beautiful pottery can be found where plates, jars, cups are all hand painted in all the colours of the rainbow🌈
🥰Dreaming of a getaway in paradise? With so much to offer, you're sure to come away from your holiday in Skopelos with memories of a lifetime💕
