A harbour lined with cafes and tavernas, and a maze of alleyways overflowing with churches and chapels - Skopelos Town has a strong sense of tradition combined with a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere which will immediately draw you in to the relaxed pace which is very much a way of life here.
The town is a designated preservation area, with attractive white houses cascading in layers down the hillside from the ruins of the Venetian castle above to the lively harbour below.
Along its bustling waterfront exclusive restaurants, cosmopolitan shops and excellent bars and tavernas shelter under the magnificent Mulberry and plane trees. Whilst in the maze of cobblestoned streets behind there are over 125 chapels hidden amongst the pretty whitewashed cottages with their brightly painted doors and shutters.
The crowning glory of Skopelos Town is the 13th century Venetian kastro - although having climbed the steep and narrow streets of the town to reach this wonderful ruin, the sight of the nearby café whose owner is an excellent bazouki player is often as welcome as the spellbinding views.
