Agnondas, Skopelos by gilia80.

Agnondas

Imagine a sheltered bay surrounded by fragrant pine forests, with a translucent sea, dotted with small caiques. Over a sun-bleached old jetty hang fishing nets drying, and as you sit at the water's edge, waiting for a meal of freshly caught fish or lobster, you are watching the sun slowly sinking in the sky...this is the essential beauty of Agnondas, a small seaside hamlet approximately seven kilometres from Skopelos town.

This is also the port which is used by the hydrofoils and ferryboats if there is a strong Northerly wind, which sometimes makes the approach into the town harbour too rough. You can reach Agnondas from town by bus or taxi, and for those who are fairly fit and enjoy walking, by foot.
