Skopelos is an island of the Sporades group, a green mountainous
island with interesting archaeological remains. Its architecture is like all the
Sporades islands, white houses with tiled roofs, small balconies and flower
gardens. The large number of churches, in both the capital and on the rest of
the island attest to its architecture.
Skopelos is the second largest island in the Northern Sporades group, the
largest is between Skiathos and Alonnissos, covering an area of 96 km2.
The island is very mountainous and is made up of two peaks of unequal size.
The mountain folds form many ravines and gorges that become small torrents
during the wet season providing a rich greenery that reaches the sea, beautiful
coasts with sandy beaches and picturesque gulfs, small islets in its waters.
