Its menu can satisfy even the most demanding tastes, offering a wide variety of delicate flavors and qualitative fish dishes of every kind, made with the most fresh fish which I seek personaly and persistently from the fishermen of the area. My knowledge and many years of experience are the reason why this place is the number one choice for fish lovers. Our restaurant's specialty is spaghetti with lobster, made of an excellent quality of fresh ingredients and local lobsters that our customers can choose from our aquarium. This particular dish is always a solid value for those who have been known us for all the years of our operation. Yours sincerely, Dimitris Pantos

At the northern side of the island one of the most beautiful and crowded beaches of Glossa, ‘Perivoliou’ beach, is waiting for you, after a wonderful journey through olive trees and a dense forest. On your way there, you will meet the historic monastery of ‘Agion Taxiarchon’ that is worth visiting. Perivoliou is an organized beach with crystal clear waters that will enchant you. The base for your endless dives and explorations of the sea caves will be the homonymous beach bar that has been operating there for 2 years. In its truly relaxing environment full of green and pine trees, you will get an excellent treatment and you will feel the true meaning of holidays! Please note that Perivoliou is very close to the famous chapel of Agios Ioannis at Kastri and the lighthouse Gourouni.
wish to be there!

FRIENDS AND VISITORS OF SKOPELOS, You are on an island that is characterized by many advantages, some of which are truly unique. I will not bother you by counting them one by one, just because you will be able to see all of them in detail in the following pages. But I feel that I have to talk about those that will not only make the best impression but they are also the elements that constitute the true "identity" of Skopelos… its rare natural beauty, its valuable cultural heritage, as well as the principles and values that guide and inspire people and groups of this island. The power of love for the island, along with a lot of work have as a result this "Guide" magazine, which is functional and friendly to all readers who want to explore every corner of the island. Documented, informative, with remarkable aesthetics in graphic design and photography, which is, justifiably, the biggest star of the issue! Let it be your consultant during your vacation and you will have the best possible time. Our inmost desire is that this magazine will be the ambassador of Skopelos to you as well as future visitors, so that everyone will have the chance to experience its incredible beauty. Have a good time!

Little white houses reflect the bright Greek sun, beautiful little yards are full of flowers and smiley faces that welcome you to their home, crystal clear waters offer the best relaxation and perennial pine trees save the best seat for you under their thick shadow. Skopelos is a place that "speaks" directly to your heart. A beautiful and blessed island, "painted" with all the shades of blue and green, that deserves all the love and attention due to its history, the deep religiousness of its people, the great tradition and culture and of course its authentic insular character. Skopelos is not just a summer destination. In the "island of pines" you will experience the "ideal" summer!

CULTURE, ART, TRADITION Tradition is the soul of this land! The rich cultural life of Skopelos is shaped by customs that are lost in the depths of the ages, such as "Tranda" and "Bramdes", which are the most famous customs of Skopelos' traditional Carnival, the ceremony of "Klidonas" on the eve of Ai-Giannis, the dignified Passion Week and the special celebrations of Easter ... The great dedication of locals to keep their invaluable tradition alive is testified in every corner of the island. A tradition which is gently guarded in many museums and which you can "listen to" in some family ceramic and art workshops of Skopelos, from where you can also buy some unique and traditional souvenirs. Many cultural events take place in Skopelos. The impressive traditional costume of the island is often in the spotlight! The Festival of traditional dances "Diamantis Paleologos", gathers every year hundreds of dancers from all over Greece and abroad, as well as the one in Glossa. The "We Fest" is the new cultural festival of Skopelos, which was organized for the first time last year and it is really promising for this year too! Poetry competitions, music festivals, youth cinema festivals, as well as many great sports events

FAITH Residents of Skopelos are truly religious. The fact that there are more than 360 churches and chapels all over the island is the ultimate evidence! The Holy Church of the Nativity of Christ in the city, "Agios Michail" of Synades under the Castle, "Panagia Faneromeni" above the beach, the Church of the Holy Apostles in Vrachos, Panagia of the Tower at the old port, "Agios Athanassios" in Kastro, "Panagia Polemistria" on the way to Pefkia and, of course, "Ai Giannis" in Kastri, the chapel that made an impression in the movie "Mamma Mia!", with its beauty and picturesque architecture. Also, there are 24 monasteries in Skopelos, including three Byzantines. On the northern side of Chora, at the Palouki Mountains, you will discover some of the most important monasteries of the island, built in the 16th and 17th centuries, while in the south side you will find the monastery of Agios Riginos, who is the patron saint of the island.

LET'S SAIL One-day sailing cruises are a unique holiday experience and an ideal way to get a better look of Skopelos by discovering its hidden treasures, such as the various small bays, natural harbors of unparalleled beauty and its secluded beaches. The sailing boat offers the opportunity for very relaxing moments, as the "magic" happens with the force of the wind, without the noise of the engine! If you have your own boat, then the experience will be even better! At the marinas of Chora, Neo Klima, Loutraki and Agnontas you will find the ideal hospitality for you and your boat to "anchor", literally and metaphorically speaking.
HOSPITALITY Undoubtedly, people of Skopelos are behind and above all. They are people who will steal your heart with their hospitality, touch your soul with their authenticity, impress you with their education, take you to a nostalgic trip back in time with their traditions, welcome you to their home with the biggest smile, while they treat you sweet "haimalia" and invaluable memories and give you more than enough reasons to come back to their island again and again!

The main town is alone an attraction. As the ship approaches its welcome is impressive. A traditional village, amphitheatrically built with Venetian, Macedonian and Pelion influences can only be seductive. Cobbled streets, whitewashed houses spread around the Castle to end at the port, two and three storey mansions built by local wealthy traders. Countless little churches, bougainvillea and jasmine create a residential complex with distinct identity and color. Panagitsa of Pyrgos (the church) is the trademark. It stands proud on the edge of the cliff above the old port.

ORIENTATE YOURSELF… The ship will leave you at the new harbor, in front of the coastal front. On your left, as you walk along the coast, you will find yourself at where "Ammos" area begins, and a little further you will meet the starting point of the island's road network and the ring road that crosses the top area of the city. Moving to the right, on the beach, towards the area of the old harbor, where the building of the town hall dominates, you will see the "endings" of the cobblestone streets of Chora, and moving on, always next to coast, you will reach the stairs of Panagitsa of Pyrgos that lead to the Castle. You can follow that route and get there on foot, or you can choose to reach the place by your car and you will have the chance to go to the "Palouki" mountain, where there are the Byzantine monasteries, "Episkopi" and the Monastery of Agios Riginos. Let's get started…
THE NEW PORT AND ´AMMOS´ The new port is your starting point for the beaches, the other villages and the ring road which passes over the main town. Ships and cars come and go all day and night. The taxis and the buses are right there. Right across are the famous Square "Platanos" and the grill houses. Along the harbor, you will find smart coffee shops, picturesque taverns, tourist shops, patisseries, bakeries -don't forget to taste the unique Skopelos “tyropita”(cheese pie)- pharmacies, markets and the cinema "Orpheus" -where several events are organized. The area of the new
port forms a bustling center, with intense activity and movement, where you can find everything. Crossing the esplanade you will find the beach Ammos. Along the beach, you will come across several suggestions for diner and coffee making the main town your background. Towards the end of the beach, in the region of Ampeliki you will see the "Asclepion". It is one of the most important archaeological finds discovered in the Northern Sporades. It is the sanctuary of the god of medicine Asklipios, which dates back to the 4th century BC. In 1961 the walls of the ancient buildings, along with parts of ceramic vessels were revealed.
THE WHITE CHURCH AT THE END OF THE OLD PORT, "PANAGIA OF PYRGOS", IS GOING TO MAGNETIZE YOUR EYES

FROM THE OLD PORT TO THE CASTLE The old port is the ideal place to walk. On the right you have the sea... Small boats, fishing boats, excursion boats. On your left, right before the neoclassical building of the Town Hall, the “Rock”, geniously lit, will capture your eye. Count 50 cemented stairs to climb to the namesake Cafe -Bar, and enjoy the panoramic view. Moving on, you will see several beautiful taverns, while opposite, next to the waterfront, the monument of the Unknown local Soldier in Navy, impresses. At the edge of the port, you will see emerging from the coast of Plakes, Chadoula’s rock and all along the length of the anchorage, luxury boats and yachts giving a cosmopolitan flair to the main town. The folklore museum of Kosmas family, is located exactly above the tavern of "Kyratso", on the second floor and you can visit it. It hosts the folklore collection of the family, which dates back over two and a half centuries, where, besides the other exhibits, you can also get a picture of how an old house of Skopelos was. However, what really magnetizes the visitor is the whitewashed church of "Panagitsa of Pyrgos", as the locals call the church of the Virgin Mary located on the edge of the harbor. It has a cruciform shape and is built on the imposing rock, which we reach climbing the small stone steps. The temple dates from the 17th century and unfolds scenes from the Old and New Testaments. Then, follow the winding cobbled street and landings leading to the ruins of the Venetian castle (13th cent.). As you ascend, you are gradually situated in a totally different era. It is film scenery: splendid churches next to cliffs overlooking the magnificent Aegean Sea and Alonissos, and if the time for the sunrise has come, your inner self will be reborn! Reknown "Anatoli" however, the tavern of well-known “rebetis” Yiorgos Xintaris, a benchmark for all visitors, will be awaiting you. The Greek and the... pirate flag waving at the top right next to the remains of the Castle, the colors of the West and the sounds of “rebetika” will engrave your mind.

THE TOWN OF SKOPELOS
GETTING LOST... WILLINGLY! In order to acquire a deeper knowledge of the main town and to realize the volume of its traditional character, choose one of the narrow, cobbled streets that start from the old port and go up. The freshly whitewashed houses, so tightly hugged, you can hardly tell their distinct lines, form the small neighborhoods with the bougainvillea embracing the balconies hiding tiny courtyards. Occasionally, vibrant colors pop out and create a sharp contrast with the brown tones that the locals used to paint the doors and windows. The architecture is of particular interest as it is divided between Venice, Pelion, Macedonia, rural and neoclassical, influenced by the culture the residents occasionally brought with them on the island... However, what will really impress you are the churches and the numerous small chapels that pop up between the roofs of the houses and the winding streets. The opinion of the locals about their exact number differ, some talk about over 100, others double the number. What is undeniable is that their presence testifies the deep religious feeling of the people of Skopelos, who, with great respect continue to care for their religious tradition. Among the beautiful churches it is worth visiting the Church of the Nativity of Christ, the cathedral of the city, below the Castle. The temple dates back to 1765. Old icons and relics of the temple of Agios Athanasios on the Castle along with the relics of St. Riginos are of great importance and have their own special place. The bell of the church was donated to the locals by Alexis Orlov for their participation in the naval battle of Cesme (1770), where the Turkish fleet was destroyed. Continuing your stroll you will pass the "Mansion Vakratsa", a beautiful house, typically local, which belonged to Mrs. Vakratsa Antigone, who donated it to the Municipality of Skopelos, and now functions as a museum where the relics and the personal belongings of the family Vakratsa are exhibited. In the beautiful courtyard, where various cultural events take place, we focus our attention to the palm tree. In another alley the Folklore Museum is located, a building donated in 1991 to the Municipality of Skopelos, by the Nikolaidis family. Here, are housed all the "material evidence" of the local history, with the rich and aristocratic, bridal attire of Skopelos "morko" or "stofa" being one of the most remarkable exhibits. A little further down, in the St John’s district, next to the church of the Three Hierarchs, you will see the house museum where great Modern Greek writer Pavlos Nirvanas, (Petros Apostolidis, his real name) spent his childhood. The building was repaired and refitted to an exhibition carrying the history of Skopelos town from the ancient times until today. Lower down, to the port, quaint shops and bars form, in their own way, the captivating maze, with the people strolling loose only to perfect the picture. Continue wandering and if you feel lost, just walk down and you will find yourself again at the port.

NOT FAR FROM THE MAIN TOWN A very nice walk that we propose is the path to the mountain "Palouki" to enjoy the best view of the town. There, in a magnificent landscape with spectacular views on the Aegean Sea, lie one after the other the Byzantine monasteries of Evangelistria, the Baptist (Prodromou), St. Barbara, the Savior (Sotiros) and the beautiful churches of the Holy Archangels, St. Anna and the Holy Trinity. “Episkopi� (Episcopacy) is 2 km. south of the town of Skopelos, on the right of the road that goes to the southern beaches. It is a Venetian building, with a basilica church in the middle of the courtyard, destined for the seat of the Bishop of Skopelos. It remained unfinished due to the raid of the pirate Barbarossa (1538). You will find it open on August 23, day of celebration, when the Episkopi opens for a vigil followed by a festival. The church also functions for liturgies and private religious events. Continuing on the same road, 4 km. south, you will see the Monastery of St Riginos, the patron saint of Skopelos. The church of Saint Riginos, built in 1728, probably on the ruins of the oldest Byzantine monastery. The present church was built in the 1960s. In the courtyard of the monastery there is the sarcophagus of the saint, the first bishop-martyr of the island (4th century AD). On February 24 and 25 religious festivities take place along with processions as well a great procession of the sacred relics in the streets of Skopelos setting out from the Holy Monastery to the church of the Nativity of Christ.
You will love the town of Skopelos. It allocates equal portions of tradition and tourist character and your tours will not run out in one or two days. Nobility, cleanliness and different stimuli at every step you take. Furthermore, the options for amusement are indeed special, as many of the cafes and bars of the island have each an ambiance and character of their own. The town of Skopelos will never lose its identity because neither the local people nor the tourists want it. That is the reason why the latter visit the island, because it is what it is: simple and beautiful!

“PLANNING OF THE MAP” ... EXERCISES Skopelos is located in central Aegean, to the east of Pelion and to the north of Evoia, between Skiathos and Alonnisos and it is the capital of the island complex of Northern Sporades. The perimeter of its coastline is 67 km., and it covers a 95.8 sq.km. surface. Its higher peak is "Delphi" at 680m. and Palouki follows with 565m. It has three ports, the ones of Skopelos, Agnontas and Loutraki. Besides the main settlement, Skopelos' Chora, there are three villages, located to the south, southwest of the island, Glossa, with Loutraki as its port, and Neo Klima (Elios), and also three small settlements, Agnonta, Panormo and Palio Klima.
HOW TO GET THERE... There are three routes to reach these starting from Chora: The first is by following the perimeter of the island, clockwise, which crosses the entire south, southwest side -where the most and most beautiful beaches are located - and ends after 37 km at its other edge, Loutraki of Glossa.

The village of Elios or Neo Klima numbers a few years of existence, and was created by the inhabitants of Palio Klima, who were forced to leave after the earthquakes and the landslides that ruined their village. It is located at the foot of the green mountain of "Delphi", and there is a large beach in front of it, which is "interrupted" by the port and the marina where many sailing boats and other vessels moor. Indeed, there is also a "slipway" for the launching of vessels. On the left, as we see the sea, there is one of the famous beaches of Skopelos, Chovolo. In its center, the protector of the village, the church of "Agioi Anargiroi" is found, and it is worth attending the festival in honor of the saints, which takes place on July 1st, while at a small distance up the central road you will find the monastery of Virgin Mary of Elios. Elios has experienced tourist development with dozens of rooms to rent, as well as hotels, and it is recommended for those who seek relaxation and revitalization. There are also many taverns and fish taverns and many people visit it from other parts of Skopelos for this reason. Near the port, the "Public Forest", a beautiful recreation area. "Squid night", which is organized in August, attracts the interest of the entire island.

It is located between Elios and Glossa. It is a lush village, amphitheatrically built, with old stone houses overlooking the Aegean Sea. Until the beginning of the 1950s, the village was divided in two districts, which were called mahalas earlier, Epano (Upper) and Kato (Lower) Klima, which was also the oldest, and was established in the 18th century by the inhabitants of Glossa, who had set there something like a small rural settlement. The church of the village, Agioi Anargiroi, was built in 1828. However, maybe there was a small temple there at an earlier time. With the earthquakes of 1950, the village started losing its glamour and beauty. Some of its inhabitants moved to the upper village, others to Loutraki, and just a few remained there until 1965, when the other earthquake, which ruined the upper village, forced them to leave and built a new settlement at a small distance, today's Neo Klima or Elios. The most characteristic features of the inhabitants of Klima were their enthusiastic character and their hospitality. The inhabitants of Klima were the biggest revelers of Skopelos. Both in festivals and weddings, as well some Sundays, dancing and feasts were organized in the square, Velania, in which many inhabitants of Glossa used to come. Nowadays, many of the deserted houses have been bought by foreigners, who, respecting its traditional architecture, renovated an admirable, traditional settlement, opposite Skiathos and Evoia.

IT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS THE "BALCONY OF THE AEGEAN". FROM EACH AND EVERY POINT, THE ENDLESS BLUE CATCHES YOUR EYE. BUILT ON A GREEN HILLSIDE, IT OVERLOOKS SKIATHOS AND EUBOEA. "THE HIGH VILLAGE" ACCORDING TO ALEXANDROS PAPADIAMANTIS AND "THE VINEYARD REGION" ACCORDING TO ALEXANDER MORAITIDIS, GLOSSA IMPRESSES BY ITS NOBILITY AND ITS RICH CULTURAL ACTIVITY.
Glossa has been described as the "balcony of the Aegean" and not without reason. From each and every point, the endless blue catches
Atheato (unseen) or Machalas. Machalas is one of the few villages
your eye. Built on a green hillside, it overlooks Skiathos and Euboea. "The High village" according to Alexandros Papadiamantis and "The
of Skopelos from the Ottoman period. It was built in such way to avoid the frequent pirate raids and that explains its name, Atheato, which
Vineyard region" according to Alexander Moraitidis, Glossa impresses by its nobility and its rich cultural activity. Back in time the region
means “unseen�. The grand harem confirms the Turkish presence on the island. Walking through the picturesque, cobbled street that con-
seems to have been inhabited by Cretans and may have been a colony during the Minoan era as traces of a prehistoric dwelling were discovered which explains the name that was given to the village in the past: Knossa was the name of the town built in this area by the first inhabitants of the island, the Minoans. Others attribute it to the tongue (glossa) shape of the cape in the sea area of the settlement. The inhabitants of Glossa were viticulturists producing tons of good wine. Some, however, were sailors and captains. In Loutraki there was an organized shipyard, not of the same importance as that of the main town.
nects Glossa to Machala, you feel it was once full of life. There is the old path that descends to Pouri and brings you to Kato Klima. A path, connected with legends about monsters and goblins.
First stop at the square of Panaghia Eleftherotria. Just opposite are the schools where the summer cultural festivities take place and, also, the traditional dance festival. Park the car and choose one of the two paths leading to the settlement. Picturesque, Macedonian style houses, one next to the other, souvenir shops, local products, but also coffee shops and restaurants await you. Going up, stop at "Louki" to cool off at "Kanalaki", a water source, and from there head to the village central square with the huge cypress, for which lots of stories have been written. The Church of the Assumption, patron saint of Glossa, dominates. It was built in the late 19th c., has a beautiful marble temple (1897), a work of a great artist Tinian sculptor, George Kaparias. Above the square, visit the gallery of the church, which hosts 42 exquisite paintings donated by Alexander Sideris an award-winning artist, whose paintings are exhibited in major museums abroad. Just opposite is the Folklore Museum: an old house, that will automatically take you back in time, since all the rooms are original, decorated with works of art that reveal the richness of the folklore of the village. And the climb continues... Next stop is "Kokosouli." Walking through the aromas of marjoram and basil of neat neighborhoods and whitewashed terraces you will reach the highest point of Glossa. Here, the view is breathtaking! There is also the Maritime Museum for Glossa , an exhibition of ships from all over Greece, from the Minoan times until the first ships with smokestacks. Going down, you will come across a huge tree, the trademark of "Rious" with the second famous village spring and if you continue downhill, the path will lead you to the port of Glossa, Loutraki.
The monastery of the Archangels (Taxiarches). 2.5 kilometers away from Glossa. This is one of the finest monuments of post-Byzantine era, in the Northern Sporades. Founded in 1672, while in the courtyard one can see the remains of an early Christian church (672 AD ). Two years ago, the maintenance and restoration of this important heritage that includes the main church, the basement wing of the cells, the courtyard and a small ossuary. 10 km. from Glossa, at cape "Gourouni" stands the lighthouse(1889), an impressive 18 meters high building which dominates the lush mountainside. In 1996 it was designated by the Ministry of Culture, a historic monument. If you decide to go on foot, the walk is breathtaking and the sunset unique! Glossa is beautiful and its authenticity impresses. Its rhythms are relaxed and its guests have a lot to tell about the romantic walks in the narrow streets, the gorgeous sunsets, the good food in the taverns and restaurants and the good-hearted people. Do not miss!

Loutraki is the first port after Skiathos. Just opposite are the isles of Dasa, Strongylo, Kasidi, Plaronisi and Paksimada. Loutraki owes its name to the Roman baths discovered in the nearby locality of “Katakalou”. The ruins of ancient Selinounta, a city that according to the legend disappeared overnight when huge waves covered it, are found along the coast, in "Glystra", "Paleokastro" and elsewhere. On the wall of a dilapidated house, also in the region, there are reliefs of pre-Christian times and in its courtyard there are two sarcophagus. Many important discoveries have come to light after excavations, as the statue of Aphrodite, the Doric capital of large dimensions and value, and the statue of Athena which was found in 1865 and bears the inscription '' KLEAINETI DIODORUS IERITEFSASA ATHENA''. Finally, there is a resolution of Consul, dating from 273-2 BC, and concerns a citizen of Peparithos who became consul of the city of Delphi. Near the beach of Loutraki, there is the Byzantine church of Agios Nikolaos, which is founded on an old Byzantine church of the 7th century. Loutraki is a beautiful waterfront area, set against a majestic sunset! Highly recommended for swim, fresh fish, ouzo, coffee and loukoumades.

Before you enter Glossa, there is a road to your right, which will guide you. This is the widely known now chapel, since this is where the wedding of the "MAMMA MIA" movie was shot. The chapel is built on the top of a rock at a height of 100 meters. To reach this, you have to climb the 106 small steps, which are carved on the stone. The view to the sea is majestic, and the surrounding small beaches that embrace the rock compose a majestic scenery, sweetening the wildly beautiful rocky landscape. The folk legend says that a fisherman from Glossa saw a light on the rock while returning home from fishing. He used to see it every night. In the end, a woman appeared in his dream and revealed to him that there was an icon on the top of the rock. He climbed to the top and found the icon of Ioannis Prodromos (Saint John the Baptist) and took it from there, but the icon returned back to the rock every time. Thus, the church of "Agios Ioannis at Kastri" was built on the rock.

Anna Aivazoglou, with the many-year experience in the sector of dining, as well as with the knowledge she acquired by her stay for many years in France, has managed to evolve the Greek traditional cuisine with elements of the cuisines of Istanbul and Armenia, from which it originates. This evolution was based on the way, in which the ancient Greeks used to be nourished, resulting in managing to offer clean and almost healing tastes. The restaurant is located in a wonderful garden, in the old Chora of Skopelos. You can accompany your food with selected Greek wines, and relax while listening to live music. You will feel comfortable with the service, which is warm and discrete.

Giannis Gekas President of proprietary hygiene shops / Owner “Ntokos” cafe bar John, what do you suggest to Skopelos' visitors? Speaking as an expert, I would say that Skopelos is an island that its dozens of restaurants and taverns are able to cover all the preferences of the visitors, offering them excellent local dishes and delicious flavors of Mediterranean cuisine. Also I have to mention its exciting nightlife. There are stylish bars with good music, amusement centers of all types and, of course, traditional "rebetadika" of Skopelos, with their genuine Greek color. The relaxation offered by the beach cafes, overlooking the harbor is unique. The crystal clear waters of island's beaches, either they are organized or not, will satisfy visitors and make their time at the beach to resemble the time of their dreams. All our shops provide good services and their employees have the best and most friendly attitude towards the tourists. The prices are always "right" and suitable for every kind of pocket. I wish all of you a great summer and I hope that the time you will spend here is going to be both unforgettable and beautiful!

Dimitris Pandos Owner ‘Korali’ restaurant Dimitris, what would you suggest to visitors who crave for a delightful meal in this idyllic place you are in? I have been living for 38 years in the fishing village of Agnontas and I have an excellent and friendly relationship with all the local fishermen of the area, from whom I get my daily supplies of fresh fish that I offer to my customers. So, for an appetizer, I have to suggest some fresh squid and a variety of fried or baked fish. For the main dish they have to try our delicious pasta with lobster and choose from our aquarium their "fresh" fish, coming from the crystal clear waters of our island. Of course, our menu is full of delightful Mediterranean and famous local dishes they should definitely try.

Alexandros Roros - Owner ‘Zoupa’ restaurant Skopelos is not a very well-known holiday destination, especially abroad. Clearly it has a lot to show and give to all visitors. Collective effort, new ideas, having courage in order to create a variety of tourist products, they are all required in order to put the island higher on the list, always by giving the proper attention to environmental and human factors. We encourage our guests to try to overcome the desire to spend endless hours on our beautiful beaches and explore the "inward" treasures of the island, where they can have a look of locals' real life. Through the contact with these people, they will get to know the island's authenticity. Do we have "gastronomic" travelers in the island? Based on studies, 12% of travelers want a "good cuisine" destination. The fast food era is a great time and opportunity for small places like Skopelos to play one of their strong cards. I believe Skopelos has good restaurants and great potentials, considering its people, in order to be in the future, an important "gastronomic" destination for all tourists who seek for quality food, for the benefit of the whole island.

Andreas, Christos, Christophoros GRYPIOTIS Owners "Ta Kimata" restaurant ‘Skopelos is famous for its beautiful beaches, unparalleled natural beauty, architecture, churches and monasteries ... It is also famous for its exceptional cuisine and we as Grypiotis' family get to be very proud of that too, as we operated the first tavern on the island 120 years ago! We are four generations, always at the same place, that care a lot for our customers, offering to them fresh fish and organic farming products that we produce on our own. Our dishes are based on authentic local and Greek recipes, cooked by using the best of the local products. Also, we offer some special gluten-free and vegetarian menus and delicious seafood dishes. The customers can also have a look of how their meals are prepared at our "open" kitchen. At the moment we are four brothers who run the business, with the fourth brother, Rigas, to be one of the best chefs in Skopelos, with many "parchments" as souvenirs from the international gastronomic market hanging from the wall of the kitchen.

worth walking to Glossa and visiting the Glosiotissa Women Association, from where you can buy cheesepies for home and, if you are lucky, you can watch the process of their production. Since you are on an island, you will certainly order fresh fish and squids. The highlight of the seafood specialties is stewed grouper, with spring onions and local plums. If, on the contrary, you prefer meat, then you should definitely try the Skopelos baby goat, cooked in the oven or stewed, and the pork with the local plums. Before leaving the island, you should take with you traditional sweets, such as "chamalia", which is the sweet treat in engagements, almond paste spoon sweets, "rozedes", "Avgato" plum spoon sweet, AZAN local dried plums, honey from pine-tree flowers, jams from local fruit, olive oil, olives, herbs such as oregano and sage, and, if you keep looking a bit more, local wine and goat cheese.

Sea trade and shipbuilding developed in the 17th century, when the people of Skopelos started building their ships, in order to export their products (wine and oil), to experience different ways of life and customs and to take them back to the island, thus influencing the culture of Skopelos. They built ships in shipyards and brought their goods to the ports of Russia, Italy, Trieste, Marseille and the Black Sea, defying pirates. In the 18th century, the navy of Skopelos had at its disposal one of the greatest fleets in the Aegean. In 1821, the people of Skopelos placed the entire fleet at the disposal of the War of Greek Independence. The bell in the Church of the Birth of the Christ is a gift of Alexios Orlov to the people of Skopelos, for their victory in the Chesma sea battle. They worked hard and built enviable ships once again, but they didn't manage to create the fleet they had before the Greek Revolution of 1821. The remaining boat carpenters stayed true to the traditional ways of building boats and, as a result, the prices were not competitive. Tourism brought the banning of boatyards. Shipbuilders became either sailors or they resorted to model shipbuilding. They built small model ships in order to keep their dream of travelling alive.

The settlement is majestic: houses with two or three floors, with an open last floor, furnished with furniture, which, many times, was brought from merchants and seamen from their long voyages abroad. They are covered with handiworks from Skopelos made by skilful embroiderers and made with natural, incompatible and yet harmoniously combined materials, such as rock, wood and iron. And everything is roofed over with tiles and flagstones from Pelion. The external part of the houses can be categorized into four types of influences: the Venetian-Western type, which is the oldest one and, unfortunately, the houses of this type have not survived; the PelionMacedonian type, brought by the immigrants from Thessaly and Macedonia, which have as their distinctive feature the facade of the last floor, constructed by wood furring, strongly protruding from the contour of the building's base, creating the well-known "sachnisia", which are perforated, continuous bay windows; the rural type, which are stone buildings with wrought balconies roofed with pergolas (kouklenta). A distinctive feature is the wooden bathroom on one side of the balcony; and the neoclassical, which was mainly built for rich people, having as distinctive features the decorated facades, the marble and ironwork balconies and the marble portal frames. In their interior, they all had the same structure, which corresponds to the Balkan type. In the semi-basement, built from timber and stone, there usually was the kitchen and the cellar. On the first floor, which was built from a light timber construction with bricks, there was the dining room, decorated with lovely tablecloths, and the bedrooms, furnished with wrought iron beds and chests, where they placed the "trousseau". On the second floor, which became lighter with the wooden wall, but was then burdened with the heavy construction of the roof, there was the ballroom or "averto", for the celebrations, since the people of Skopelos were merrymakers and sociable. It was decorated with all the possessions of the family, carved sofas and chests, porcelain objects, embroideries, etc. For the people of Skopelos "cleanliness leads halfway to nobility". So, the houses were always whitewashed and the yards and neighbourhoods were full of different kinds of flowers.
The houses of the 21st century Nowadays, the houses of Skopelos that are within the old town, maintain their picturesque features by staying true to the traditional style. You can feel this by going for a simple stroll in the small streets of the settlement. This is also a contribution of the declaration of Skopelos town as a "Traditional Settlement of Outstanding Beauty". The economic boom brought by Tourism may have influenced constructions, but this happened mainly outside the limits of the traditional settlement, in general; at least, for the exterior of the buildings, the limit in the number of floors, the tile roofs and the balconies with the pergolas are kept. The people of Skopelos, having understood, since long time, the value of tradition and being used to live among such beauty, try, despite the economic and social misfortunes, to stay true to it.

The costume of Skopelos is characterized by the demonstration of luxury and expensive materials. It is highly influenced by Byzantine aesthetics, as well as by the renaissance standards of the West. Skopelos' women used to dress, on the one hand, like queens, however, enclosing, on the other hand, their bodies tightly in endless fabric, something that matches perfectly the strict morals, the formalism, the conservatism and the greedy for power character of the inhabitants of Skopelos. "Morko, Volta or Kalo" along with "Stofa", which is differentiated because of the embroidered, handmade hem (in Stofa the hem was woven) constitutes the local, bridal costume of Skopelos. The girls of wealthy families wore this on their wedding day in order to show their financial situation, as well as their social class. However, the women of Skopelos, besides the bridal costume, wore unique costumes in every period of their lives. Thus, married women wore every day a blue dress or "Gerania". Single women wore every day a white long dress. In Glossa, the casual dress was shorter and its fabric was printed, with various flowers. Single women wore a white "kolovoli" as more formal clothing until they got married. In Glossa, the white kolovoli was called "fountoma" and was shorter and fluffier. Engaged girls or brides, who could not afford to make a "Morko", wore a "green-red" dress when they went to church. Finally, mature married women, widows or old ladies wore a black "kolovoli". Local costumes, show signs of the social and financial life of a place, as well as of its morals and customs. What is mainly proven by the bridal costume of Skopelos is that this place experienced a great economic boom due to the big development of maritime trade. Wealthy merchants returned to the island and built twoand three-storey mansions, adorned them with priceless decorations, and, of course, dressed their daughters, as an exhibition of their wealth, like queens!

SKOPELOS IS NOW CONSIDERED TO BE ONE OF THE PREDOMINANT WEDDING DESTINATIONS IN GREECE, AND NOT WITHOUT CAUSE. The grand fame that the island obtained after the projection of the "MAMMA MIA!" movie was what gave the impetus to numerous couples from all over the world to choose the "Lady" of the North Sporades as a destination for their wedding ceremony, the magnificent island of Skopelos.

Many are those who choose "Ai Giannis at Kastri", the church where the “wedding” of the movie took place, as well as "Panagitsa tou Pyrgou" (Virgin Mary of the Fortress), which is located at the old port of Chora of Skopelos, but also the other parishes of the island. Wedding ceremonies "by the wave of the sea" predominate, offering to the couple unique experiences, by exchanging wedding vows barefoot on the pebbles or the sand, with the exquisite sunsets and the blue sea as background. The wedding beach party that follows, with non-stop dancing, wet wedding gowns, torches, lanterns and countless summer "shots" remind of the "MAMMA MIA" movie at a significant degree, and leave to the guests and the newlyweds unforgettable moments of a "dreamy" wedding.

If you want direct contact with the sea, and if you are also looking for some adventure, then take food and water with you and rent a boat. Discover the hidden treasures of the coastline. Find secluded caves, islets, meet dolphins and the unique Monachus - Monachus seal, and choose among dozens of small and deserted beaches to anchor. The boat is also the best choice for fishing, but you should ask where this is allowed, due to the limitation that "NATURA" has imposed. You will also need a special permit that you can easily get from the port authority of Skopelos.

The coastline of Skopelos is beautiful, while the islands, which are dispersed in its perimeter, are a challenge to explore. One-day cruises with a sailing boat constitute a unique vacation experience and an ideal method to get to know the region, from a different point of view. You will have the opportunity to experience the unique sense of traveling with the power of the wind, without the noise of the engine. Sailing allows for a very relaxing atmosphere, which usually includes friends, food, drinks and exceptional moments. Discover hidden "treasures", small bays, natural ports, like “Blo”, secluded beaches, which are accessible only by boat and isolated islands. If you have your own boat, you can anchor in one of the organized marinas of the island, in Skopelos' Chora, Neo Klima, Loutraki and Agnontas.

Springs with crystal clear water, the scents of sage and oregano, olive trees, plane trees, cypress trees, pine trees, and oak trees, which you will be able to see throughout the route, will "compensate" you. Whether you choose to walk alone or in a group, covering a short distance passing through some old cobbled road or covering bigger distances through dirt roads and paths, the experience will be unforgettable. People who have been inhabitants of the island for years, foreigners and locals, make sure through their volunteering work, that all paths remain open, clear and with the necessary signaling. We recommend the routes: A) From Chora to mountain Palouki, to enjoy the magnificent view and visit the historic monasteries of the island. B) The Keramotos trail in Glossa, a truly wonderful path. C) From Palio Klima to Loutraki of Glossa and Glossa. D) From Chora to Stafylos, following the old road.

Customs and traditions with roots in the worship of Dionysus and praise to nature are revived every year. Íear the end of February and at the beginning of March, Skopelos is filled with songs and wine, the residents take to the streets to attend the custom of "Tranta" and the "Good Masqueraders" or "Bramdes", to dance and laugh without reservations and unwind with all their heart on the last two Sundays of Carnival. On the penultimate Sunday you will see "Tranta", which is a boat frame made by reed. Only men participate. Those men, who constitute the Tranta's crew, their apparel is comical and unkempt and their face is covered in coal and indigo. The crew's mission is to go round the island and to end up in the harbor and throw the boat in the sea. So it goes by every neighborhood where the crew dances while singing satirical songs of carnival. The women of the neighborhood offer the crew wine and food and the "trantarei" "make fun" of girls among the spectators. The harbor is the end of the route where the tranta is set on fire and thrown in the sea. On the last Sunday you will enjoy "Bramdes" or "Kales". They are named that way because they are dressed in the traditional costumes (Kales) and together with musicians they also go around the island. They usually recreate a wedding ceremony where the bride is portrayed by a man and the groom by a woman. These customs give a distinctive note to the island. Skopelos goes back thousands of years. Music and songs from the era of Dionysus echo around the island and everything resembles a myth becoming alive each year.

The small pebbles, the clear turquoise waters and the small rocks scattered in the sea are some of its characteristics. Opposite, a pine covered island, called "Dasia". Mother Nature has divided the beach in two parts, with a rock. The left side, which is the largest, is the most active due to the beach bar- named after the coast - you can also enjoy water sports. There is a bus stop at Milia. The distance to the beach is a 400 m. walk from the main road.

The green paradise on earth, with the emerald waters, hasn't left the producers of "Mamma Mia!" unaffected, who selected it among the hundreds of islands of Greece for shooting the movie. In September 2007, the island of Skopelos was transformed into Hollywood. Crews, producers, famous actors, such as Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan, and dancers filled the island's streets and beaches. The locations selected were Agios Ioannis at Kastri in Glossa, where the wedding was shot, "Kastani" beach, where a wooden bridge was set, Amarantos with its rocky beaches and the characteristic pine tree that emerges from the sea, the path between Milia and Kastani, which is shown during the first minutes of the movie, and shots of great view, which were taken in the area called "Nisi" (Island) in Skopelos and Glysteri. Don't be fooled… you will find these places only in Skopelos! For the record, it is mentioned that the Greek film "The Immigrant" and the old television series "Shop Window Tiger" were shot in Skopelos, while in July 2014 the shootings of a Russian production film were completed on the island.
