Beautiful Skopelos - Julie Bruffell. Date of travel: Aug 2007
Skopelos is a beautiful island. Beaches all a bus ride away from the town, but worth going to. Town wonderful. Shops open til after midnight. Bars open til small hours. Some lovely restaurants. Try Anna's. Overall an island I'd return to. Even in high season not overcrowded although parking close to beaches was a nightmare.

Skopelos - C Roberts. Date of travel: Sep 2006
Skopelos Town is beautiful. We like staying in or around towns, there is a bit more life than being just by the beach but we dont like too much (rowdy) life! The town isnt very big, although it might look it from a distance. The main road along the front of the harbour is packed with tavernas and restaurants, although we preferred to eat inside the town itself, in the back streets and beyond. The town has a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, day and night. The prices are reasonable, try eating at Alexanders (just follow the arrows), The Garden, Stergios (lots of free food and drink), and Finikas (not Anna's finikas in town) but just Finikas- which is located on the road going out of town, past the tall ship. His restaurant is up a slight hill, again with great views of the town and the food is superb. The owner is also the cook and waiter, (he used to be a chef in Athens) and the food is wonderful, prices are good and the owner is very warm and friendly. The buses are great and always on time, well, almost and they will pack you on until there is no room to breathe! The nearest beach is Stafilos and Velanio (Velanio is very quiet) (mainly sandy) but they are both down a steep road (not great coming back up to the bus stop), Agnondas is a great beach, stoney, with nice tavernas. Skopelos is recommended by us, it's quiet, but with lots to see and very pretty.
