How did it happen that such a forest was surrounded by the sea, thus creating beaches with golden sand, white pebbles and pine trees growing right up to the edge of the sea? Geological phenomena of the past created Skopelos like a painting, using lush greens and blues. The largest part of the island is covered by a dense pine forest, which, while crossing it, might make one think that he is on a mountain like Olympus or Parnassus, whereas the view through the trees of the gushing, turquoise water is a pleasant surprise.
Skopelos is the greenest island of the Aegean Sea - one of the islands of the North Sporades with mild touristic development in favor of nature and the quality it offers. A special feature of the island is that while walking along its alleys, you will wonder if you are indeed on Skopelos or in Pelion, since you will observe many similarities in their architecture. This will give you a sense of an autumn mountain walk accompanied by the sea. And this happens because geographically, Skopelos can be considered to be an extension of the Pelion peninsula. For this reason chromotherapy would be a term that could also characterize your experience on the island, with shades of green, all the shades of blue in the crystal clear waters, the golden sand, the white from the pebbles and the houses, the warm terracotta roofs and the bright fuchsia from the bougainvillea. Skopelos is a destination where you will enjoy swimming, the natural shade of the trees, walks in the forests, olive groves, farms with plum trees and picturesque settlements. And, of course, you will taste food cooked with love, among which is the famous cheese pie of Skopelos, by people who are hospitable and warm and will instantly make you feel at home.
