If the visitor who is tired of urban life wants rest and relaxation on the beautiful beaches of Skopelos, he will certainly have a good time, but such a visitor will not get to know the island or understand much of the life of its people. He will be left with an impression of a pine-clad island with beautiful scenery, but anyone who has seen Mamma Mia! will have that. And don't worry - Skopelos has taken the film in its stride and remained uncommercialised and untouched by tawdry fame through it all!
So why come to Skopelos, an island without an airport, that can only be approached by sea, with all the inconvenience that being at the mercies of the weather and the vagaries of the ferry companies bring?
There are two reasons already! Getting here is an adventure in itself, one well rewarded by your first glimpse of the town with its striking Byzantine churches crowning the sheer cliffs as you round the headland from the open sea.
But the real answer is simple. Come to Skopelos and find something that is fast disappearing elsewhere in Greece - the true experience of Hellas.
This is what Skopelos has to offer: this remarkable island haven of traditional Greek culture with beaches, excellent tavernas and - unlike more southerly islands - verdant countryside.
But these are only a small part of what Skopelos actually consists of. And we at Madro Travel Skopelos will help you to discover the heart of the island from its many fascinating sights and scenery to its ancient history, mythical legends and folklore. We have the strong family ties and the experience to help you leave no stone unturned as we share in your exploration of our favourite spot in the Sporades.
So, whether you are a dedicated Grecophile, an avid sightseer or a sun worshipper, Skopelos can provide a holiday that will be all that you dreamt it could be.
We know. We at Madro Travel welcome true travellers here year after year!
