Skopelos Holidays

Skopelos holidays will put you on the largest island of Greece's Northern Sporades archipelago. It's one of those rare Mediterranean destinations that manages to keep the summertime hoards of vacationers at bay, making it an unusually tranquil escape. There are all kinds of hidden treasures here, including pirate graves, stone churches, medieval monasteries, and secluded coves. You'll definitely get a taste of the traditional Greek culture at Glossa village where there's no vehicular traffic. Walk to the church and café at the top of the hill and enjoy a drink while checking out the panoramic views. The small town of Klima is cool, too. Destroyed in 1965, it has since been renovated and restored. A Greek Islands holiday might not make you think of monastic culture, but Skopelos Town is home to a number of monasteries in the hills on the western side. The nuns who live there are quite gracious and welcome visitors with open arms.
