I couldn't wait to go to Skopelos once I learned that some scenes from Mamma Mia were filmed there!!! The small chapel of Saint John on top of the rock was a magnicifent site alone, not to mention that this is where the wedding scenes were shot!! You go up some narrow stairs and from there you see the sea and the mountainous parts of the island. Bad luck, the church was closed but this didn't reduce my joy to see this site!
We stayed only for 3 days in
Skopelos and our hotel was in Glossa but we rented a bike to go around. Skopelos Town was a bit more traditional than Glossa, which seems more like a tourist village. Panormos and Hovolo were amazing beaches. Stafilos was also good but we lost our way there and it took us about three hours to get, so our mood was a bit spoilt. Put signs on the road, please, it is not necessary that all people have that a good sense of orientation!!!
You will love the taverns at the beach and if you find any traditional honey in a kiosk, buy it. I bought the best honey from an old in the open market of Glossa!
