Skopelos Elios beach

General information

Elios beach Skopelos: Elios is where the island's patron saint Reginus is believed to have delivered his flock from a fearsome dragon. The beach is located 19 km west of Skopelos Town. The beach is pleasant enough but this part of the island is intermittently affected by deep earthly rumblings. The unsightly village was created after the 1965 earthquake dislodged the hillside village of old Klima.

You can drive right up to it and its the only one with shower facilities. The village has plenty of taverns and mini markets. There are also many sand and shingle coves along the coast like the beach at Hovolo.
