At the top of the hill above the town of Skopelos, you will see the remains of the ancient wall that surrounded the citadel of ancient Peparethos, as well as parts of what was added in Byzantine and Venetian times. The view from the castle is impressive.

This monastery is one of the numerous Byzantine monuments preserved on the island of Skopelos. What has remained from the monastery is the church and the defensive walls.
It has a dome, four columns and is dedicated to the memory of the Annunciation (end of the 18th century).

This small chapel is located on the top of a steep cliff, which rises 100 meters from the sea. There are about 200 steps to climb to get to the chapel but the spectacular view of the sea will reward you. The famous wedding scene of Mama Mia! film was filmed here.

The picturesque village of Glossa is located in the northwestern part of Skopelos, perched on the hillside above the port of Loutraki. It is characterized by cobblestone streets, traditional houses and stunning views over the Aegean.

The biggest part of Skopelos is covered by dense pine forest, making the island one of the greenest of Greece. You will definitely enjoy driving through the forest or hiking from Chora to Loutraki, following the main roads. Several parts of the forest offer wonderful views of the beaches and the sea.
