Information On SkopelosSkopelos belongs to the Sporades island complex and is located between Skiathos and Alonissos islands. Skopelos is a verdant island with rich vegetation and perhaps the greenest island in all Aegean. Skopelos became widely known thanks to the hit-movie Mamma Mia which was filmed on the island in 2008. More than any other of the attractions of Skopelos, the movie highlighted the romantic little chappel of Agios Giannis in Katri, which is at the top of a gigantic vertical rock, approximately 100 stairs above the sea surface. Skopelos is the most balanced island of Sporades, because it is not as noisy as Skiathos but at the same time it is more lively than Alonissos. You will find several bars, while in Chora there are some rempetadika (night clubs with traditional music), as rempetiko is a type of music with rich history on Skopelos. On Skopelos there is an excellent local plum variation, which is the basis for many traditional recipes for foods and sweets, while it is much more tasty than the common plums. There is also the famous traditional spoon sweet avgato, named after the plum variation which is used in order to make it. At the end of August there is the Plum Festival held on Skopelos, where visitors are offered baked plums and wine..

Skopelos travelSkopelos travelSkopelos travel Transportation On Skopelos (Car Rentals)Skopelos is a small island but unfortunately the bus timetable very poor and buses are not frequent (on average they pass every 2 hours) so having a vehicle is rather necessary. However, the bus station is found right next to the harbor, while next to it is also the taxi station. Not that you should depend too much on the taxis, as they are very few while the people are too many. If you want to be independent from the public transportation which by the way is always over crowded, you will have no trouble finding a place to rent a car or a motorcycle. Finally, the roads of Skopelos are in good condition.

A good choice to stay is in Stafylos to the south, since there you can find many rooms and the nice homonymous beach. In any case Skopelos is not a big island so the transportation from one place to another poses no problem at all.
