Swimmer floating in a turquoise pool between tall white cliffs on Skopelos

Skopelos

Green to the shoreline, a proper town, and coves on the north side with nobody in them.

Skopelos is the greenest island in the Aegean and it does not look like the postcard Greece people expect. Pine and oak all the way down to the rocks.

The town is worth a night alongside. The north coast is worth two days at anchor. We reach it on the seven day Sporades trip.
