Skopelos Full Day TourExperience near Skopelos →0.0 km away
A full day across Skopelos by road.
This full-day island tour begins in Skopelos Town and combines mountain roads, religious sites, Mamma Mia filming locations and two beaches. The route includes Agios Riginakis, Agios Ioannis Kastri, the Monastery of Agioi Taxiarches, Perivoliou Beach and Hovolo Beach, giving travellers a broad view of Skopelos in a single day.
OVERVIEW
FROM CHAPEL STEPS TO NORTHERN BEACHES
The day moves between different sides of Skopelos: a small mountain chapel associated with Mamma Mia, an Orthodox monastery and two northern beaches. It is less about ticking off one landmark than seeing how quickly the island changes from wooded hills to open sea.
Climb the steps to Agios Ioannis Kastri, pause at a hillside monastery, then spend time swimming at Perivoliou and Hovolo before returning to Skopelos Town.

Scene 2
The Steps To Agios Ioannis
Reach Agios Ioannis Kastri, the rocky chapel made famous by Mamma Mia, with a steep staircase leading up to the church and views across the Aegean.
Scene 3
A Monastery In The Hills
Pause at the Monastery of Agioi Taxiarches, bringing an Orthodox religious site into a day otherwise shaped by beaches and coastal scenery.
Scene 4
Perivoliou Beach
Spend time at Perivoliou Beach, with space for swimming, sitting beside the water and taking in the northern coastline.
Scene 5
Hovolo Beach
The final beach stop is Hovolo, where pale rock, clear water and the surrounding green landscape create a very different setting from the mountain chapel earlier in the day.

See More Of The Island In One Day

The Chapel Above The Sea
Agios Ioannis Kastri combines a steep climb with one of Skopelos's most recognisable coastal viewpoints and a direct connection to Mamma Mia.
A Religious Stop
The Monastery of Agioi Taxiarches adds a quieter cultural and religious element between the coastal stops.
Two Different Beach Stops
Perivoliou and Hovolo provide time for swimming and seeing the northern coastline from ground level.
Useful Without Your Own Car
