The Area
Occupying a privileged cliff-top position on the northwest coast of Skopelos, Blue House is just a couple of kilometres from the charming village of Glossa, whose whitewashed streets and shady square offer great views and a variety of amenities, including shops and tavernas.
Gorgeous Skopelos Town and harbour, situated in the southeast of the island, is about 40 minutes' drive away.
Skopelos island is the perfect size to explore in a week or two and offers a good range of activities. A variety of beaches are dotted all around the island's nearly 70km of coastline. Some, such as those in Skopelos Town, Panormos and Limnonari are easily accessible. Others can be reached only on foot or by sea, an excellent excuse for hiring a boat for a day or two and exploring the island's gorgeous coves and bays.
Skopelos is also a green and pleasant island, and the vibrant colours, heady fragrances and cooling shade of its pine and oak woods contend with the multi-blue-hued sea for visitors' attention. There are several good walking trails across the hilly interior, whose two main peaks, Mount Palouki and Mount Delphi rise to 546m and 681m respectively. You will come across numerous monasteries on your way, as well as some superb views and a few sleepy villages where time seems to have stood still. One walk will lead you to the chapel of Agios Ioannis, which enjoyed its 5 minutes of fame as one of the locations for the film Mamma Mia!
Finally, just across the water, is Skopelos's sister Sporades Island, Alonissos, and its Marine Park. Both are highly recommended and easy to get to.
For more information about hydrofoils and ferries to and between the Sporades Islands, please see our dedicated page.

Boat rental in Skopelos
A holiday in the sun would not be complete without exploring the breath-taking coastline, majestic cliffs and glistening azure sea that your destination has to offer. The best way to experience this spectacle is from your very own rental boat, pottering along at a leisurely pace and occasionally stopping off to drop anchor and swim in secluded bays.
