About Me - Heather Parsons It all began in 1986 when I was sent here to work 'just for one summer'. I was delighted by the "old fashioned", natural beauty of the island and the traditional ways of doing things . It reminded me of my childhood in Kent. One is still able to get right off the beaten track to peaceful, green country-side, magnificent views and nothing to hear but the buzzing of insects, the birds singing and the tinkling of goats' bells. It's great for bird/butterfly watchers, botanists, in fact anyone who appreciates what nature has to offer. In 1987 I returned here to work (just for one more summer!) and in 1988 I bought a cottage and settled. In 1990 the Sotos Walking Guide copyright was given to me. I annually updated and added to it. In April 2001 the guide was given a facelift and a new name: Skopelos Trails, which incorporates the Sotos guide and includes history, nature notes and "spotters'' lists. From May to October I guide walking tours and hikes. Apart from teaching English, winters are spent remarking the trails and attempting to maintain them. |
Skopelos Walks offers walks to suit everyone; gentle rambles around Skopelos town and its surroundings, to full day hikes in the countryside. My suggestions can be found on the Suggestions page. I can also "Tailor" a specific walk or hike according to individual needs. Please e-mail me by clicking the button to the left.
If you need help booking accommodation on Skopelos, the Skopelos Holidays site will be of help. I look forward to meeting you soon! Best regards, Heather Parsons |
