Getting There
How to reach Skopelos island
There are two ways to reach Skopelos: by flight through Skiathos or by ferry.
By plane: Skopelos island doesn’t have an airport but you can fly to Skiathos island (JSI) and then travel to Skopelos with a ferry.
By ferry: Ferries to Skopelos depart from Agios Konstantinos, a port town that is located in Central Greece or by Volos.

Skopelos offers enchanting landscapes and a warm, family-friendly atmosphere. There is a wide array of attractions that cater specifically to the delight of children. From engaging activities in Skopelos Town to the exploration of nearby islands, the island offers an array of experiences that will captivate the imagination of the youngest travellers.
Skopelos Town itself is a treasure trove for families. The quaint streets and squares provide a safe and charming environment for children to explore. The Skopelos Folklore Museum, with its collection of traditional artefacts and exhibits, offers an educational yet entertaining experience. The town's waterfront becomes a playground for children, as they can enjoy leisurely walks along the promenade, spotting colourful fishing boats and feeding the resident ducks.
One of the most iconic attractions for families on Skopelos is the church of Agios Ioannis, featured in the film "Mamma Mia!" Its dramatic location offers not only stunning views but also a sense of adventure for children who may relish the ascent. The exploration of this cinematic location can spark their imagination and create lasting memories.
The island's beaches are a haven for families, and among them, Panormos Beach stands out as an excellent choice. Its calm and shallow waters make it ideal for children to splash and play safely. The surrounding tavernas provide a convenient spot for families to enjoy a seaside meal while taking in the breathtaking views.
For a more active adventure, families can embark on nature hikes. Skopelos is blessed with lush greenery and well-marked trails, such as the journey to the old chapel of Agios Riginos. The trek is manageable for older children and rewards them with panoramic vistas of the island. Exploring the flora and fauna along the way can turn the hike into an exciting nature expedition.
Skopelos serves as a gateway to other family-friendly destinations in the Northern Sporades. A short ferry ride to Alonissos opens up opportunities for wildlife encounters, especially at the Alonissos Marine Park, where children can learn about marine life and conservation efforts.
