Best Airbnbs in Skopelos

It may be the largest of the Sporades Islands, but Skopelos is a little more wild and rugged than its noisy neighbor Skiathos. There’s just one road across the island, connecting the main town with hilltop village Glossa.

You don’t come here for the towns though, even though they are packed with characterful tavernas and one even boasts a Venetian Castle! The main attraction is the beaches. Eagle-eyed film buffs may even spot that Kastani Beach starred in Mamma Mia.

With everything happening on the island, you’ll probably be thinking about where to stay in Skopelos. In this post, we’ll take a look at 15 of the best Airbnbs in Skopelos. Whether you’re on a romantic break, travelling solo, or planning a family vacation, you’ll find somewhere for you.
