Navigational Aids
Small coves for the most part rocky, ideal for isolation, fishing and diving while sailing in Greece. The pines that reach down to the sea offer shade and dew.
Idyllic and sheltered bay, 8 km from the town of Skopelos with coastal taverns and amazing sunsets. The small pebbled beach is quite busy during the summer months.
After Stafylos, behind the small cape, this is a rather large long beach with fine sand at the beginning of which there are umbrellas and sun beds. At the end of the beach, there is a source of drinking water.
Small sandy beach right next to the harbor with umbrellas and sun beds. Perfect for those who prefer their convenience by not leaving town.
Near Panagitsa of Pyrgos. Although not preferred by tourists, this beach is a very good alternative for those who do not want to leave the city.
Stafylos is just 5 km away from the capital. A nice fish tavern welcomes the visitors and some wooden steps lead down to the lovely pebbled bay with fine grey sand and crystal-clear waters.
Skopelos, the main harbor of the island is a large and lively harbor. With a meltemi (the Etesians) (NE) it can develop an uncomfortable swell, although the harbor remains tenable.
