The city is beautifully located on a fairly steep hillside reaching up from the harbour and town beach. All houses are whitewashed and have red tiled roofs. Many of the houses actually exceed two storeys, a fact that does not ruin the town's favourable impression due to the steepness of the general terrain. I have read that the entire town has been suggested as a candidate for a preservation program due to its beauty. The town of Skopelos is truly one of the nicest Greek towns we have visited.
Narrow alleys dominate the town, inaccessible to cars and barely manageable by bicycle or motorbike.
On the lower streets you will find a large number of small but fascinating shops and restaurants, providing for days of interesting shopping. There are also several small but beautiful churches in the town. The chairs and the tables of a great number of cafeneons and restaurants dominate the town's waterfront. Skopelos is renowned for its cuisine. From the streets of the Town of Skopelos.
