Where to Stay in Skopelos and Alonissos

Skopelos and Alonissos are the green, quieter neighbours of Skiathos in the Northern Sporades. Pine forests run down to clear bays, Skopelos town climbs above its harbour, and the sea around Alonissos is a protected National Marine Park. For Skiathos itself, see our Skiathos guide.

Where to stay: choose your base

Skopelos town – white houses and churches above the harbour, tavernas and shops, all on foot.
Panormos and the west coast – green bays with pebble beaches, quieter, best with a car.
Glossa and Loutraki – the north-west of the island, closest to Skiathos and its airport, with sunset views.
Alonissos – Patitiri port, the old hilltop Chora and the National Marine Park around the island.
