Description

Skopelos is located at the Gera Bay, 25.5 km from the city of Mytilene. It is situated at the foothills of Mount Karionas at an altitude of 150 meters. It took its name from the numerous rocks in the area. It is a traditional village with quaint streets, small cafes and an impressive square which immediately attracts a gaze as it has the most beautiful fountains of the island.

Attractions are the archaeological finds, discovered at Meti and Magira. Also, the burrows of the St. Mary Magdalene Church can be found in Skopelos. This features Christian catacombs (44-310 AD) in which one descends from the canopy, which is inside the church's precinct. Finally, also very interesting to visit is the church of St. George.
