15 Best Things to Do in Skopelos (Greece)

A fertile island in the Northern Sporades, Skopelos hit the big screen in 2008 when it appeared in the ABBA musical Mamma Mia!. Tourists come for the day, from Alonissos and Skiathos especially to see Kastani Beach and the enchanting Agios Ioannis Church, which both featured in the film.

But Skopelos is much more than a quick sightseeing opportunity.

For starters, the island has more than 360 churches and monasteries, some posted on the photogenic slopes of the Palouki or Delphi mountains.

Back at sea level, the beaches are a dreamy pebble coves under softwood forest and with clear, light blue waters.

Skopelos is also one of the most verdant islands in the Aegean, growing fruit like plums which go into a delicious traditional pork dish.

Let’s explore the best things to do in Skopelos :

1. Skopelos Town

The largest and oldest settlement on Skopelos, the Chora is a mass of whitewashed houses with terracotta roofs, clinging to stiff hills on a sheltered natural harbour.

The centre of the town is free of cars and has a tangle of alleys and stairways flanked by traditional houses draped with bougainvillea.

Like the rest of Skopelos you’ll never be far from a cute church; there are 120 in this town alone, the oldest having stood since the 11th century.

Occasionally a street will deposit you at a scenic terrace overlooking the harbour and Mount Palouki, or a cloistered little square in the shade of a plane tree.

2. Agios Ioannis Church

Even if Sophie’s wedding scene hadn’t been filmed at this church in Mamma Mia!, Agios Iannis would still be a must-see.

It’s a church set atop an improbably steep outcrop buffeted by the wind and waves.

From the isthmus below in front you have to 198 steps to reach the church 100 metres above the sea.

The climb might be tricky but it will all be forgotten when you reach the terrace and see the delightful cove way below, and the yachts bobbing in clear waters.

In the wake of the film, the church has become the hub of a lucrative wedding industry, and houses an icon of St John that according to a local legend was discovered alone atop the rock.

3. Churches and Monasteries

The Agios Ioannis Chapel is just the tip of the iceberg for scenic religious sites on Skopelos.

You can’t go more than a few steps without bumping into a chapel, church or monastery.

There are more than 360, which is amazing when you consider how small Skopelos is.

Most are private constructions and will be closed when you visit, but will be worth the journey for the views, especially if they’re in the natural park around Palouki in the southeast.

Of that 360, 40 are monasteries, and if these are still inhabited the approximate, universal opening times are 08:00-13:00 and 17:00-19:00. As with any Eastern Orthodox building, it’s considered respectful to keep shoulders and legs covered.

4. Panormos Beach

At the small namesake resort, Panormos Beach is in a cove that cuts several hundred metres inland.

This location is about 12 kilometres away from Skopelos Town by road, and the beach is served by the island’s buses.

Despite being small the resort at Panormos puts a range of facilities at your fingertips where it’s tavernas, cafes, a mini market, an ATM or a water sports centre, right by the water.

Facing west, Panormos also gets a wonderful sunset, which you can watch between the pine-covered hills framing the entrance to the cove.

The beach is pebbly, and the tranquil waters are different shades of blue depending on their depth.

5. Kastani Beach

Facing the rounded profile of the small Dasia Skopelou island on the west side of Skopelos, Kastani Beach has a few strings to its bow.

Firstly, it has more sand than any other beach on the island, even if there’s also a band of little pebbles by the water’s edge.

In 2007 Kastani Beach was another shooting location for Mamma Mia!, and tour boats roll in all day long to drop off groups of sightseers, or people who simply want to relax by these sparkling waters.

Kastani is free or mass tourism, or even a single beach bar: Enclosing the beach is nothing more than fragrant coniferous forest on high slopes, and a small grassy area.

6. Agios Riginos Monastery

Resting in the hills above Skopelos Town is the monastery for the island’s patron saint.

Alive in the 4th century, St Riginos was the first bishop of Skopelos and participated in the Council of Serdica, a gathering of some 170 bishops who condemned the teachings of the presbyter, Arius.

St Riginos was martyred in 362 under the orders of the Roman Emperor Julian, and his sarcophagus is in the monastery’s beautiful courtyard.

The current building is from 1728, but is on top of a Byzantine monastery going back much further.

On the feast of St Riginos (25 February) there’s a mass pilgrimage to the monastery, also attended by worshippers from Alonissos and Skiathos, and something to witness firsthand.

There’s no longer a monastic community here, but the shop sells items like honey, olive oil and wine made by monks and nuns around Skopelos.

7. Milia Beach

The next beach down from the Panormos, Milia Beach is a pebble and coarse sandy beach that unfurls for more than a kilometre.

People who can’t be without the comfort of a sun lounger and waiter service can stay by the Milia’s beach bar on the north end.

But if you crave a little privacy you can wander south and will be sure to come by an empty patch of sand near the rocks.

The glassy, aquamarine water is so clear you can spot everything on the seabed in perfect clarity.

Skirting the beach is scrub, dense pine forest and no sign of a single house.

Like Panormos and Kastani, if you linger on Milia Beach until the evening you’ll catch a magical sunset.

8. Hovolo Beach

Heading towards the northwest coast, Hovolo is a pebble beach in front of impassable white limestone cliffs with tufts of dark green vegetation.

The beach is on the south end of Neo Klima, and requires a bit of persistence to get to: Between Hovolo and Neo Klima is a bulge in the cliffs and you have to stay close to the rock and wade through a little water to get there.

After a few metres the beach opens out again and you’re met by crystalline pale blue waters and a pebble shore dotted with little outcrops.

There are no facilities at Hovolo, but that’s half the fun, as it’s only short walk back to the resort at Neo Klima.

And even though it isn’t easy to get to this divine little beach fills up quickly in summer.

9. Venetian Castle

At the site of historic Peparithos in Skopelos Town is what remains of the town’s castle.

This was renovated by the Venetians in the 1200s but has been fortified since antiquity.

Not much is left apart from the walls, which are ever present above Skopelos Town.

You should still battle up the steps from the waterside because the castle has the best vantage point of the town and Mount Palouki on the other side of the harbour.

On busier days people will line up for a selfie or panoramic photograph of this magnificent scene.

10. Limnonari Beach

There can’t be many beaches where you can sunbathe while watching wild goats hopping from rock to rock.

But that’s just what can happen at Limnonari Beach just under 10 kilometres from Skopelos Town.

The name of this beach means “small lake”, which surely refers to the calmness of the sea in this cove, where private yachts are anchored a little way from the shore.

The beach is pebbly, so it pays to pick a sun lounger: Half of these are managed by the beach bar, and the other half by a taverna.

All come with the price of a drink or meal.

Those peaceful waters are safe for littler members of the family and also perfect for some snorkelling.

11. Evangelistria Monastery

On the protected slopes of Palouki, 3.5 kilometres from Skopelos Town is another monastery in an inspiring landscape.

The Evangelistria Monastery, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, is from 1712 but lies on the ruins of an earlier monastic settlement dating to 1676. At the time of writing there were still two nuns at Evangelistria, and the building continues to be surrounded by its historic defensive wall.

In the courtyard is a covered fountain with an in inscription for the 18th-century founder Hadji-Stefanis Daponte (father of the famous writer Kaisarios Daponte). The church interior is radiant for its profusion of gold leaf, an 18th-century iconostasis crafted in Constantinople, 14th-century icons and frescoes evoking chapters from the Old and New Testaments.

12. Sendoukia Carved Graves

The large sheets of bare rock near the crest of Mount Kyra have signs of human intervention in the form of ancient graves cut from the stone.

There are four in total, each roughly 2.5 metres in length and partially covered with big slabs of slate that have been turned over as a sign that the graves were plundered long ago.

The age of the graves is not certain, but they are most likely from Roman or early-Christian times.

Kyra is also known for its pure mountain spring, while the Monastery of Efsthathios is a brief walk down the slope from the graves.

The other big draw is the view over the strait to the island of Alonissos.

13. Boat Trips

The Northern Sporades are grouped closely together, so in the space of a day you could easily go ashore at both Skiathos and Alonissos respectively.

The best, and most flexible way to make this sort of trip with a private or semi-private skippered yacht from the harbour at Skopelos Town.

For a larger vessel, shared with other voyagers there’s Ena, which will take you to deserted bays and provide you with snorkelling equipment.

If you’re lucky you may catch sight of a dolphin pod or seal in the clear water, and at lunch you’ll have a barbecue on board.

A more personal pick is the smaller Aegea, captained by the experienced sailor Vasilis.

Together with a swimming dog named Pirati, he’ll take you where ever you want to go, as long as you help trim the sails when needed.

14. Water Sports

With a coastline that is burrowed with snug little coves Skopelos is a fine destination for water sports that needed gentler water, like kayaking, snorkelling or stand-up paddleboarding.

The latter has exploded in popularity over the last ten years, and at Panormos there’s a dedicated paddleboarding centre.

Sporades Stand-up Paddle Boarding makes the most of the 700-metre inlet at Panormos, which has two branches.

Open to most ages, it’s an activity that won’t take long to master, and within half an hour of a guided paddle most people will have little trouble keeping their balance.

Being on the west coast, the centre also organises special sunset tours, and you can follow up your trip with a drink at one of the tavernas in Panormos.

The eye-popping water clarity in the Northern Sporades should put diving in your holiday plans.

The Skopelos Dive Center has bases on both shores, at Chora and Panormos, and offers, PADI training and excursions to dive sites around Skopelos and further out to sea.

If you’re really committed and complete the e-learning courses online you could go from a beginner to full PADI certification in under a week.

Experienced divers can take a refresher course or study towards a professional licence in Skopelos.

If you’re up to speed, excursions set sail for reefs, sea caves, wrecks, deserted islands and the marine life-rich waters beneath the iconic Agios Ioannis Chapel from Mamma Mia!.

Kastani Beach got more popular because of the movie “Mamma Mia” as it was filmed here. It is a  very beautiful beach with turquoise blue water surrounded by nature like pine trees and olive trees. The beach itself is also very alive due to the music and the crowd. However, the atmosphere is still superb.

An authentic Greek church. You can walk straight up from the promenade, although it is a bit tiring.

The church has no history to look back on but is known for its location.

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Viviana ☀️ (@viviana.brunetti) on Sep 10, 2019 at 10:45am PDT

Milia Beach is nearby Kastani Beach and is quieter compared to the latter. It consists of two bays, separated by rocks in the sea. The expansive beach offers plenty of space, incredibly turquoise, shiny water, and a wonderful view of the island of Dasia and the densely wooded riparian zone north of the beach.

5. Agios Ioannis Beach

A very nice beach overlooking the chapel. Since Agio Ioannis is a small beach, sunbeds may be limited. Just remember to be careful when you go here as the water can be wavy. If you can, go up to the church and the view is unique and unforgettable.

6. Sendoukia Pirate Graves

8. Glossa Port

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Εleanna Kourkoulopoulou (@eleanna_kour) on Jul 6, 2020 at 3:57am PDT

5 interesting day excursions from Moscow

Sergeyev Posad.

To get a glimpse of Russia’s vastness and diversity, you don’t have to travel all the way to Siberia. A few places are easily accessible for day trips from Moscow

Sergeyev Posad

Located 70 km (43 miles) northeast of Moscow, the town of Sergeyev Posad is home to the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, the most important Russian Orthodox monastery in the country.

Few places in the country demonstrate the architectural journey that Russian churches undertook from the 14 th century to the present day. St. Sergius of Radonezh, a venerated Russian saint, founded the monastery in 1345. Numerous structures were built in the compound in the subsequent centuries.

Trains leave every 30 minutes for Sergeyev Posad from Moscow’s Yaroslavskiy Railway Station. You can also take Bus Number 388 from the VDNKh metro station.

A pilgrimage spot for fans of Anton Chekhov , Melikhovo, 74 km (46 miles) from Moscow, is the former estate of the great playwright.

Chekhov moved to the estate in 1892 from Moscow and lived there till 1899. This is where he wrote classics such as The Seagull and his famous trilogy: The Man in a Case, About Love, and Gooseberries.

“My estate’s not much, but the surroundings are magnificent,” Chekhov wrote about Melikhovo.  The estate has been converted into a museum where the main house has preserved the 19 th century ambience. You can visit Chekhov’s study as well as the cottage where he wrote The Seagull.

Each May the estate hosts a weeklong theatre festival.

Suburban trains (elechtrichkas) run regularly from Moscow’s Kursky Railway Station to the town of Chekhov. From Chekhov take bus number 25 to the estate.

Nobody would ever visit the otherwise nondescript town of Monino, 33 km (20.5 miles) east of Moscow, if it didn’t have one of the world’s greatest open-air aviation museums.

The Central Air Force Museum, which is in Monino’s airfield, has 173 Russian aircraft and over 100 aircraft engines. The facility was an airbase from 1932 to 1956, when it was converted into a museum.

Along with aircraft from the Second World War, the Mi-12 Homer double rotor helicopter and the Bartini Beriev VVA-14 amphibious aircraft, the museum also has exhibits related to military aviation history such as the uniform of captured U2 pilot Gary Powers.

There’s no better way to learn about the history of Russian military aviation than taking a guided tour conducted by ex-pilots. Media reports indicate that the museum will be closed to the public from July 2016, so make a dash for it, if you’re a military aviation enthusiast.

Suburban trains (elechtrichkas) leave regularly for Monino from the Yaroslavskiy Railway Station.  The airfield is surrounded by defense installations and is not a walking distance from the station. Take a taxi from the station to avoid bus routes that pass through military areas.

You can also take bus number 322 to Monino from the Partizanskaya Metro Station.

The historic city, which is at the confluence of the Volga and Kotorosi rivers, is about 250 km (155 miles) northeast of Moscow. A part of the Golden Ring , the historic city center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The city center, which is compact and can easily be explored by foot, has around 140 protected monuments. The riverfront houses several old and famous monasteries.

The Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery, which is believed to have been founded in the 12 th century, is one of the city’s most well preserved religious complexes. Visitors are allowed to enter the 32-meter high bell tower, which was built in the mid-16 th century. The views are absolutely stunning from the top.

There are several nice cafes with views of the river in the city center.

Long-distance trains depart regularly for Yaroslavl from the Yaroslavskiy Railway Station.  It is a four-hour journey on most trains, although there is one fast service.

For a daytrip, you should ideally take a train from the capital at 7:35 am (reaches Yaroslavl at 10:51) and take one back at 7:32 pm (reaches Moscow at 10:53 pm).

If a find a journey to Yaroslavl too tiring for a day trip, a good alternative is the Tver , which is 162 km (100 miles) north of Moscow.

The city, which is at the confluence of the Tvertsa and Volga rivers, was founded in 1135.  Most of the ancient buildings were destroyed by a fire in 1763, after which it was redesigned for Empress Catherine the Great as a “road palace” to rest on the journey between Moscow and St. Petersburg.

The riverfront has a nice collection of 18 th and 19 th century building and churches. The city center is also compact and can easily be explored by foot.

One of the most popular gathering places in the city is the square housing the statue to Afanasy Nikitin, one of Tver’s greatest sons.  Nikitin, a 15 th century merchant was one of the first Europeans to travel to and document his visit to India.

Another popular hangout is the embankment from where you can see the Starovolzhsky Bridge.

Trains regularly depart for Tver from the Leningradskiy Station. The faster trains take a little over an hour to get to Tver.

Top 10: Tsar-Visit’s excursions

  As you know, Tsar Visit is a travel agency that sells guided-visits and tours in Moscow and St-Petersburg. We are working in 6 languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Russian. And thanks to Yulia, we are able to work with professional and accredited guides in those languages. But as Irina is doing her job far to well, you can be lost in our different offers. So here is a list of my favorites!    

Bolshoi’s backstages (Moscow)

My favourite is definitely the Bolshoi’s backstages. First because it’s a privilege of accessing it, and I like being the special and privileged person. Second, because it’s beautiful and for once you have time to admire the splendorous painting and goldish chandeliers. Third, because you can enter the Bolshoi for a much lesser price than the one of a ballet ticket in the historic stage! This is a must do!

The Hermitage (St-Petersburg)

Because, I mean… THE Hermitage! Who never dreamt of visiting this marvelous imperial palace and dive into both History and fine art at the same time? Who never dreamt of being an heir of the Romanov finding its way through the palace? The Hermitage is a real historical pearl waiting for you on the Neva’s docks (tips: always look through the windows while visiting the museum, it worths it). But the Hermitage is also and above all the most important museum in the world. In other words, thanks to your guide, you’ll have detailed informations on both world-known masterpieces and the imperial Russia’s history.

The Kremlin (Moscow)

As for the Hermitage, the Kremlin is a must-do when visiting or living in Russia. As the political center of the country, but also as a historical keystone, the Kremlin worths the visit ! Nevertheless, the Kremlin is big, highly secured and offers to the public many historical and religious artefacts and buildings. That’s it must be visited… but never forget, with a professional and accredited guide!

The Tretyakov Gallery (Moscow)

The Tretyakov Gallery is one of the most famous museum of Russia… and not for no reason. The Tretyakov Gallery is huge and exhibits masterpieces from Russian and European schools of arts. All of this is stunning and the Tretyakov is a must-do, especially for arts fan. So if you really want to know more about Russia and its artists, you should definitely book a guided-tour!

Peterhof Palace (St-Petersburg)

Another feel-like-a-Royal-for-a-day visit that will bring you back in Peter the Great’s splendorous time. Peterhof is the Russian Versailles and this says all. The palace is absolutely stunning on the inside as on the outside. Special notice for the gardens and the fountains that are the icing on the cake. Thanks to a professional guide, you’ll bypass all the tourists, learn more about the imperial history and the Russian culture in a shining historic environment. Definitely one of my favorite!

Christ the Savior on the Spilled Blood (St-Petersburg)

Seeing Christ the Savior on the Spilled Blood in this list, you’re probably thinking that I’m giving all Moscow’s and Petersburg’s classics. Wrong! The world-known cathedral has its path in this list because the inside is absolutely stunning (or am I only attracted by gold? Who knows…). But more than being beautiful and famous, Christ the Savior on the Spilled Blood is also full of hidden treasures, secrets and remains crucial in the Russian and Soviet history. That’s why you definitely need a guided visit!

Yusupov Palace (St-Petersburg)

Did you know that the Yusupov where the richest family in the late imperial Russia, and the most powerful after the Romanov? No ? Then here is why you need to visit there palace on the Moika with a guide! The Yusupov palace hides all the secrets of this significant family. But the palace is also, and above all, crucial in the Russian history, having been Rasputin’s murder place!

Peter and Paul fortress (St-Petersburg)

As the other places in this list (I admit I have a taste for the Imperial Russia), the Peter and Paul fortress is absolutely crucial in the Russian history. However, if you’re visiting it by yourself, you’ll find nothing else than big walls, a cathedral, graves and a garden. That’s why I advise you to do a guided-tour of it. Your guide will explain you the history of the fortress, showing you artefacts from the past, and give you details on the buried Romanov. Moreover, if (as me) you have a taste for royal families from the past and the present, the Peter and Paul fortress will serve you some delights!

Moscow city tour (Moscow)

Moscow is a big city. And sometimes the best to do in order to discover a big city is to sit and enjoy a guided-tour. With Tsar Visit’s guided tour of Moscow you’ll discover, in a very comfy way, the Russian capital city and all its wonders. A must-do if you don’t have much time in Moscow!

St-Petersburg city tour (St-Petersburg)

Basically the same as for Moscow. This tour is the best. Go for it!
