create villas - Greece - Skopelos

Skopelos is not only the largest island, but it is also the capital of the Sporades Island chain. Its charms are many and varied and Skopelos makes a wonderful place to enjoy a Greek villa holiday: firstly the main town of Skopelos, is considered by many to be one of the prettiest harbour side towns in the Greek islands. It is built amphitheatrically around a natural, perfect, semi-circular harbour. Dating back several centuries, it is protected by a preservation order, and so has managed to retain its old world charm.

Entering the harbour by sea reveals the striking Byzantine churches which crown the sheer cliffs protecting the town. It is well worth spending time to explore its labyrinthine maze of narrow, stepped streets to admire the mostly Venetian architecture. As you wander through the colourful, flower-filled backstreets of town, the houses are charming and beautifully kept and around nearly every bend is an enchanting little chapel. No matter how small these chapels may be, the interior of each one is exquisite and unique. The island is famous for its numerous churches, Skopelos Town has more than 120 churches; the island, over 360 churches, chapels and monasteries. Skopelos is a charming island for enjoying a villa holiday in Greece
