Seasons on Skopelos
 Spring
Spring
comes early to Greece so come anytime between April and the beginning of
June if you want to experience the flowers at their best. The
temperature is comfortable (which is more than can be said for the sea!)
with the possibility of showers. Almond, artichoke, iris, poppy,
hyacinth, narcissi and 13 different types of orchid are among the plants
in season.
 Summer
Peak holiday season when the town and beaches are crowded and the
temperatures are high. Escape the madness and go on an evening walk,
ending at a tavern. Plums and oregano
everywhere. Beside Armenopetra beach you will find a field of Sea
Daffodils.
 Autumn
The
hordes have gone and the temperature starts to drop. Variable weather
conditions. Sternbergia, crocus, cyclamen and Ladies Tresses orchids
appear to brighten up the countryside. Time for chestnuts, walnuts,
quince and, if it's rained enough, blackberries and mushrooms.
 Winter
Apart from teaching English,
winters are spent remarking
the trails and attempting to maintain them. It can be cold and on
occasion snows! However, frost in rare.
Winter on Skopelos is very much a
time for sitting in front of a traditional fire and spending time
indoors with friends.
