Most beaches are downhill. Returning means driving uphill. Panormos is the only beach with flat access.
Uphill tip: Use first gear. Steady driving works best.

Insurance does not cover damages on unpaved roads. Stick to main roads always.

🏘️ Village Roads
Avoid driving inside Skopelos Town and Glossa. Streets are extremely narrow — built centuries ago.

⛪ Saint John's Chapel — Mamma Mia!
One of the most photographed spots on the island. The road is scenic but narrow.
Drive slowly during peak hours and be patient. The view is absolutely worth it.
