Authentic Greek island getaway
Set on a hilltop overlooking Skopelos Town, this homely hotel serves as a warm and welcoming base for a laid-back holiday on this peaceful and picturesque Greek island.
A spacious outdoor swimming pool and terrace, flanked by Mediterranean gardens and a poolside bar serving drinks, snacks and a buffet breakfast in the mornings, is the ideal place to relax in the sunshine – perhaps with a glass of Greek wine in-hand.
A 5-10 minute stroll will take you down to the nearest beach, while the 13th-century Venetian Fortress is also easily reachable on foot. In the town centre itself – a labyrinth of charming, cobbled lanes and whitewashed buildings – you’ll find a plentiful choice of traditional tavernas, bars and cafes whenever you fancy heading out for something to eat or drink.
All rooms come with their own balcony or terrace, giving you that extra bit of personal space in which to unwind.

Find out more about Skopelos Town
Start your day by exploring the historic Panagitsa of Pyrgos Church. Perched on a hill in the centre of the town, it is one of the area’s most iconic landmarks and offers spectacular panoramic coastal views. Then stroll down, through cobbled streets lined with traditional, white-washed houses and vibrant bougainvillaea, to the town’s harbour to check out the quaint shops, inviting tavernas, and cosy cafés. It’s a great place to enjoy some of the town’s culinary delights, including fresh seafood, traditional Skopelitis cheese pie, and the local sweet treat, hamalia.
If you enjoy hiking, there’s plenty to do around the town. Trek along the well-marked trails, like the Delphi Mountain Trail, which leads to the highest point on the island, Mount Delphi, and provides fantastic views of the coast and surrounding islands. Then get a glimpse into the island’s history, by heading up to the Kastro, the town’s 13th-century ruined Venetian castle, formerly part of the ancient acropolis. Overlooking the harbour, the Kastro provides the perfect spot to appreciate the natural beauty of the area.
Evenings in Skopelos Town are best spent strolling along the seafront by the harbour before popping into one of the many waterfront tavernas, to enjoy authentic Greek cuisine while watching the sunset over the Aegean. Whether you’re seeking relaxation or adventure, with its picturesque scenery, rich history, and irresistible cuisine, Skopelos Town offers the perfect escape.
