Skopelos



Skopelos is the second larger island of Sporades after Skyros with 95km2 and 4.600 inhabitants approximately. Skopelos Town(Hora), the capital of the island, and Glossa are the two main towns and each one of them has a port that connects the island with Volos and the rest of Sporades. Much of the countryside, especially the Southwest coast, is really spectacular, with a series of pretty cove beaches backed by extensive pine forests as well as olive groves and orchards of plums, apricots, pears and almonds. Filled with  forests that covering approximately 80% of the area is considered the greenest island in the Aegean.
