General Information

Relax and follow me through the Skopelos countryside. Learn about the island. Make friends with like-minded folk. Each hike, depending upon the temperature, is up to about 5 hours duration (including stops), has at least one picnic break (there are no way-side taverns) and has as many stops as required for taking photographs, admiring the view, watching birds/butterflies and picking fruit, nuts or herbs. Old cobbled paths and dirt trails are used whenever possible but they are often edged with scratchy scrub. The hikes are over varying terrain and inevitably some are more strenuous than others.  Participants should be prepared for portions of uphill climbs. Make sure that you wear suitable clothing and footwear!

Scheduled Walks and Hikes

My Scheduled Hikes and Walks vary from Season to Season. These itineraries have proved very popular with walkers visiting the island and have been fine tuned over the years. See our Programme Page for details.

Groups and Parties

Have the countryside to yourselves and take advantage of perfect conditions.  Get a group together and visit early May or mid / late October.  Book via a tour operator or fly to Skiathos independently.  Accommodation to suit every pocket can be arranged by Skopelos Holidays.
