Skopelos\u00a0is an amazing Greek\u00a0island to trek, you are never too far from a beach or a view. Here’s our essential guide to walking in Skopelos.<\/p>\n

Go hiking on the Greek Island of Skepelos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You may want to get Christmas and the New Year out of the way before you start planning for next year\u2019s holiday, although with the weather getting infinitively gloomier, the nights drawing in at a rate of knots and the Christmas crowds already surfacing in the high street, daydreaming about lands of sunnier climes, sapphire skies and verdurous vistas offers a welcoming relief to the British winter blues.<\/p>\n

Being the greenest of the Greek islands on the Aegean Sea and never being too overcrowded, the island of Skelopos is perhaps one of the best places to start your \u2018escaping to an idyllic paradise\u2019 fantasies.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This picturesque and tranquil island has many good beaches, but many who have had the pleasure of visiting Skopelos, often cite that the beach of Milia, with its fantastic selection of water sports, Velanio beach, half of which is nudist, and the pretty and tranquil beach of Glisteri, that are the most beautiful of\u00a0Skopelos beaches and cater for all desires and tastes.<\/p>\n

If you do find yourself falling victim to the island\u2019s many scenic and cultural charms then a trip to the extremely picturesque, well preserved and fortunately unspoilt by modern development\u00a0Skopelos Town is paramount. Although it is the many interesting trails that haphazardly criss-cross this charming island and provide for beautiful varied walks, which are the island\u2019s most unique attractions.<\/p>\n

Skopelos\u00a0Town to Glisteri<\/h5>\n

This immensely scenic walk is described as \u2018easy\u2019 and takes approximately two hours. Walkers experience the delights of Skopelos\u2019 sweet smelling forests, from\u00a0Skopelos Town down to the pretty rocky coves of Glisteri.<\/p>\n

Glossa to Ioannis<\/h5>\n

Due to some of the paths on the route having crumbled away, the walk from the deserted hilltop village of Glossa to the larger town of Ioannis is not for the more \u2018faint-hearted\u2019 and gentle of walkers. This walk, which takes you through the most stunning of scenery, is definitely for more able walkers and takes approximately 4 and \u00bd hours.<\/p>\n

Skopelos\u00a0Town to Agnontas<\/h5>\n

To walk from\u00a0Skopelos Town to Agnontas and back takes approximately 4 hours. Whilst the trial is fairly straightforward, it ascends and descends over Skopelos\u2019 spectacular verdurous landscapes, providing an exhilarating and inspirational walk.<\/p>\n

There are many interesting tracks and trials, scattered over this beautiful and unspoilt Greek island and without the crowds, even in high season, the island of\u00a0Skopelos really can be described as being a \u2018walker\u2019s paradise\u2019.<\/p>\n
