As the star-studded location for the hit movie Mama Mia!, you'd be forgiven for thinking Skopelos has few secrets left to reveal – and yet her hidden corners are steeped in lore and legend. Hit the heart of the village to uncover her history, and then round off in a typical taverna for a warm Greek welcome complete with wine and meze.
Follow your guide on a tour of the town and it's almost like you're leafing through the pages of a history book. Stroll the seafront promenade for views of the Panganitsa church, drop in at a clutch of charming chapels, and then hear tales of pirates and plunder in the courtyard of a 13th Century Venetian castle.
Wandering the maze of alleys, squares and gardens, you'll see the spot where ancient Skopelos was founded and learn of the everyday life of the locals here. And when you've worked up an appetite, we'll head to the award-winning Gialos taverna, where a feast of meze, wine and good Greek hospitality awaits.
