The island of Skopelos is one of the lesser known Greek islands and as a consequence is less visited.<\/p>\n

At\u00a0Vintage Travel, we excel in finding treasures away from the mainstream trails.<\/p>\n

Lightly frequented destinations are a true gem, aiding a place\u2019s appeal. Skopelos certainly fits this description, as with its dazzling white yet old buildings contrasting vividly with the vibrant flower pots strewn to the walls.<\/p>\n

This, with\u00a0the cobalt colour of the sea and the sky, but with a serious lack of people, Skopelos holidays\u00a0are perfect for a tranquil yet truly Greek escape.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For those wanting to know where was Mama Mia filmed, the answer is easy. The producers needed a quiet, typically greek location, Skopolos island was a simple choice.<\/p>\n

The capital of Skopelos is Chora, a large and clean town, spookily quiet for a capital by any standards. In comparison the town of Skopelos is\u00a0slightly livelier, with discerning tourists\u00a0taking in\u00a0the town\u2019s characteristic architecture and quaintly cobbled streets. So beautiful and historically significant is the town that it has been declared as a heritage settlement.<\/p>\n

Tiny whitewashed churches settled atop the edge of a cliff are one of Greece\u2019s most fond and charismatic associations. This amiable image is scattered right across Skopelos, enhancing the island\u2019s splendour and charm. For some, pebble beaches are preferable to sandy ones, and most of the beaches on the island are covered in pebbles, free from crowds and great to bathe, swim and explore.<\/p>\n

The word Skopelos actually means \u201crocky\u201d in Greece, and with its deep and dramatic gorges, tall jagged mountains, covered with rich and fragrant forests, it is understandable why Skopelos has been described as being one of the prettiest of the Greek islands.\u00a0\u00a0For luxury Greek holidays, Skopelos is ideal.<\/p>\n

Although life is traditional and simple here, with the majority of the locals working in agriculture and the fishing industry, Skopelos is home to quite a few bars, restaurants and clubs \u2013 luring a younger crowd to the island.<\/p>\n

Tradition is certainly the prevailing feature of this beautiful island, although when a large photography exhibition is held each year, Skopelos is transformed into quite a cosmopolitan destination for the duration of the event.<\/p>\n

If you are looking for\u00a0Greek island villas<\/a>, in the prettiest of surroundings, a trip to Skopelos will not let you down.<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
