SECLUDED BEACHES ACCESSIBLE ONLY BY SEA
It’s no secret that Skopelos features some of the most majestic beaches in Greece. The unique combination of green to blue makes swimming on Skopelos beaches an extraordinary experience.
It is true that especially during the summer period the popular beaches of the island are often full of sunbathers, racquetball players, and a bunch of people who just want to have fun.
However, if you wish to avoid the crowds and are looking for amazing hideaways and summer tranquility, Skopelos boasts hidden paradises just for you!
Due to their hard-to-access locations, those beaches are only accessible by boat or sailboat.
If you decide to go there from the ground, remember that the most beautiful beaches are also the roughest to approach.
