Description
Skopelos Town is one of Greece's most treasured towns, on a par with Hydra and Simi. It scales the steep, low hills around the harbour and has the same winding, narrow paths that characterise the more famous Cycladic islands to the south.
Scattered on the slopes of the town are just a few of the island's 123 churches.
