Skopelos’ leading beaches| travel.gr

Skopelos is endowed with some of the Aegean Sea’s most beautiful beaches. The island’s beaches are made magical by the combination of fine pebbles, pine trees reaching all the way to the sea, as well as crystal-clear turquoise waters.

Milia is the island’s biggest and most impressive beach. It offers a beach bar with umbrellas, while visitors may find quiet spots on both flanks.

This beach draws many people. Its parking lot at the back is usually insufficient, requiring visitors to park further away and walk to the beach.

Skopelos’ Kastani beach, a little further north and surrounded by a pine trees, also offers a beach bar. This beach gained international exposure through the hit film “Mamma Mia” and has since developed into a big attraction. If you have a boat, some of the most beautiful and secluded beaches on the island’s west coast are situated north of Kastani. These spots are ideal for visitors wishing to steer clear of big crowds. The southernmost section of Hovolo beach is also very beautiful. Panormos, situated on the way to Milia, is a large, pebble-covered beach. Some of the island’s finest restaurants and tavernas are based right behind this beach.
