Natural beauties of Skopelos
The island's natural beauty and picturesque scenery are two of the most characteristic elements of Skopelos. Enchanting landscapes, each one connected with a legend or a tradition. Let's have a look at some of them; the remaining ones you will discover on your own when you will finally visit Skopelos.

St. John "of the small castle" (sto kastri), As if it arrived here from far away Meteora. Connected by a narrow piece of land to Skopelos appears St. John sto Kastri. Awe and wonder overcome you when you see it for the first time, and also when you climb up the steps, hewn into the sides of the rock, to its peak and the picturesque chapel. |

We mention constantly the island's forests but they are in fact one of the elements that distinguish it. Do you see the small pine tree hanging from the rock? And concerning the little island, the one up to the left is called "Cock", the one next to it "Hen". I don't think that an explanation is necessary. This view appears when you approach the lovely beach of Staphylos.

The natural small harbor of "Blo", next to Panormos, offers shelter to all vessels, small and large. |

Beautiful scenery everywhere, one is reminded that Skopelos is magical not only in July and August but all year round. |
There are other elements, too, which compose a unique natural environment. Lovely beaches, caves, wells with gurgling waters and many more. Most of the beaches we will get to know better later on.
