Discover Skopelos Town
If you do only one thing in Skopelos town, be sure to walk with George!
Explore Skopelos Town once a week, guided by George, who is full of information, facts and anecdotes about the island and its people. We visit the remains of the Venetian fortress, one of the town's many scenic chapels, watch the model boat-maker and potter at work, and along the way learn about Skopelos' history, ancient and modern.
"…the sparkling town across the bay will beckon most-and every Sunday evening George the local historian, leads entertaining and informative tours through the narrow streets, up the winding steps, and into the tiny churches"
Excerpt from an article on Skopelos in The Times 26/04/07
Considered by many to be one of the most beautiful harbour towns in the Aegean, Skopelos is built amphitheatrically around the port. Tiers of whitewashed houses, interspersed with tiny chapels descend down the hillside to the waterfront, which is lined by mulberry trees, cafes and tavernas.
George takes you up the stepped path which leads up the western edge of the town, with its string of churches, culminating in the remains of the Venetian fortress 'Kastro' at the top. The stark contrast of the whitewashed walls and spires, with the blue sky and sea will captivate and inspire you all.
