Skopelos

This island offers both culture and lovely beaches. The shallow and safe waters are ideal for children. There are lots of great beaches: at Stafylos Cove, Limnonari (to which you cross by boat from Agnondas), at Panormos (a wind protected bay), at Milia and Elios, and at Loutraki, the Glossa port.
For those who enjoy a shingly beach there are Agios Konstantinos, Sares, Kastri and Glisteri.
Many of these beaches have pine trees reaching down to the sea.

But Skopelos also boasts a fair number of ancient ruins. Apparently, the island was a Cretan colony. Its first king and settler was Stafylos. His grave was discovered by the cove bearing his name in 1927.
It contained weapons, a gold crown and funerary offerings, among other finds, all of which are housed in the Volos Museum.
