Arriving in Skopelos

Skopelos is the greenest of the Sporades, an island where dense pine forests roll straight down to the water's edge. It has no airport of its own, the nearest being on Skiathos, so almost everyone arrives by sea: ferries sail from Volos and Agios Konstantinos on the mainland, while short, frequent summer hops connect it with Skiathos next door. Usefully, the island has two ports, Skopelos Town in the east and Glossa/Loutraki in the north, letting you land close to whichever corner you are staying in. The whitewashed Chora, with its slate roofs and flower-filled lanes, climbs above the harbour, and the clifftop chapel of Agios Ioannis Kastri, the wedding church from Mamma Mia, has become one of the most recognisable images in Greece.

Skopelos has two ferry ports. The main harbour sits below the amphitheatre of Skopelos Town, steps from the waterfront tavernas and the lanes of the Chora. Glossa/Loutraki, in the north, is the first call for many arrivals and the handier gateway to the Mamma Mia chapel at Kastri. Ferries come from Volos, Agios Konstantinos and, very frequently in summer, from neighbouring Skiathos.
