Skopelos is one of several islands which comprise the Northern Sporades island group, which lies east of the Pelion peninsula on the mainland and north of the island of Euboea. It is part of the Thessaly region. Skopelos is also the name of the main port and the municipal center of the island. The other communities of the island are Glossa and Neo Klima (Elios).

I've been coming back to “my” lovely Panormos bay for four years… Like I said, Panormos beach is for me one of the most beautiful beaches on Skopelos, where I spent a wonderful holiday every time I come. Crystal clear sea, not too many tourists (in June and September), most beautiful views in the morning, when the beach is still “empty” and the sea is calm like an oil and in the evening when the tourists leave and you can watch perfect sunsets...Place to run away from daily routine, work just or at least for one week in the year. Don't expect loud music, stands with souveniers, T shirts etc…

Crystal clear water and lots of fish! ???????????? Beautiful spot - very peaceful just the sound of the cicadas and the sea. If you’re getting a bus it’s a longish walk from the road (and back up again). Definitely need beach shoes as slippery stones getting in

This was a great beach as its right in the north of the island with a pretty rough road from Glossa to negotiate to get there.It has served parasols and loungers for €7 a couple and with a small bar at the car park for sun downers at the end of the day. Well sheltered with high cliffs from east breezes its well worth the effort to get to.

If you go to Stafylos beach..just keep walking. Behind the rocks you will find one of the most amazing beaches on Skopelos. Clean, good beach bar and not crowed in July. 2 sunbeds+ umbrella for 7€. Bring a book and relax all day

Arrived here on the Flying Dolphin at the start of our holiday and we said that we must go back there. Caught the local bus which is always fun. The beach is mainly pebble and shingle with a few eating places. It's a very deep yet calm harbour. There is not a lot there but what it has to offer is it's Greece and lovely.

Crystal clear waters, beautiful scenery, a big and organised beach bar with private parking space and at the end of the beach there are some rocks you can take beautiful photos and if you can walk with special shoes or swim around the rocks there are some small caves and the scenery under the surface with a mask is amazing. You have to go early because after 10 am boats full of people are coming and the beach becomes overcrowded.
