Stafylos beach, located just a short distance from Hora, is the premier choice for families, offering a fully-serviced and sheltered beach. If you plan to travel by bus, you will need to walk half a kilometre from the bus stop to enjoy its crystal-clear waters. Adjacent to it lies Velanio, accessible via a short, rocky path, ideal for those seeking complete tranquillity. The beach likely derives its name from ancient Roman baths (balaneia) that were situated in the cave at its edge.
Kastani and Agios Ioannis in Kastri have gained international renown as filming locations for the movie ‘Mamma Mia!’ Kastani enchants with its sandy beach and turquoise waters, while Agios Ioannis, the Meteora of the Sea, inspires awe with its chapel perched atop the rock and its breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea.
Natural Beauty and History
Many consider Milia to be the island’s top beach, offering unparalleled views of the islet of Dasia and crystal-clear waters separated by imposing rocks. Located 18 km from Hora, Panormos is the most well-serviced pebble beach, where you can marvel at the ancient walls of the acropolis on Palaiokastro hill.
Finally, Adrines beach is a series of small, secluded coves fringed with lush trees. Its name is linked to the legend of the pirate Adrina, who fell into the sea when her fleet was defeated. Whether you seek the intensity of a beach bar or the serenity of a pristine cove, Skopelos promises an unforgettable experience.
