Skopelos

A Mise-en-Scène Island

Eye-catching landscapes; crystal clear waters next to golden coasts; traditional Pelion architecture; rugged natural landscapes and pure island atmosphere are what Skopelos adds up to. As the island’s land is mostly covered by a pine forest, the colour green will definitely cast a spell over you. It is part of the Sporades island group and it has three ports: Skopelos, Agnontas and Glossa. Its ancient Greek name was Peparithos, son of Dionysus and Ariadne, who is believed to have been the island’s first inhabitant, while its name today was given in Ptolemaios texts in the 2nd c. AD.

Skopelos’ strongest card is its jaw dropping beaches with pine trees touching its turquoise waters as well as its fascinating local cuisine. If you’ve been to the island, you’d know that no one can resist their strifti (twisted phyllo dough) cheese pie, renowned throughout the country.

The island enjoyed international acclaim when Hollywood producers chose it to shoot the famous movie “Mamma Mia!”, establishing it as a holiday destination for travellers coming from around the world.
