Glysteri Beach - GIC The Villa Collection
Beaches are in much shorter supply on Skopelos than on its far busier neighbour Skiathos. Pines cover 80% of Skopelos and beaches here are of pebble and shingle and tend to be on the south coast. Glysteri is an exception as it is on the North coast, two kilometres by boat from Skopelos Town or about five kilometres by car. Glysteri is a small pebble and shingle beach set in a deep and secluded bay with emerald green, crystal clear waters and with a large taverna set back from the beach. The surrounding hillsides hold many walking trails through unspoilt countryside.
