Comfortable family town house close to all ameneties
Watch the boats come in and the world go by with a glass or two of wine, on the child – safe Grandstand terrace of Harbour View. With its panoramic vista from the Island of Alonissos to the hills behind the Town, this is an ideal place to relax.
For more energetic moments there are steps down to the ‘Paralia’ with its numerous tavernas/cafes (most with free Wifi) and shops, whilst the Harbour beach is only ten minutes walk away. For those wishing to hire a car or take a bus there are many other beaches with crystal clear seas and the green and rugged interior of this beautiful island to explore. Walks, with spell - binding views, take the visitor through fertile valleys and pine – clad hills. Numerous springs make Skopelos unlike other Aegean Islands and we particularly like the early months of the year when the gardens and olive groves are carpeted with wild flowers.
Accommodation: Harbour View was rebuilt as a guest house following an earth quake in 1967 that demolished much of the town. The house is tall and thin in keeping with its neighbours, but because of its intended use there is a small toilet/wet room on each floor.

Living/dining room: with small flat – screen television and dvd player. First Floor Double bedroom: with air conditioning, plenty of wardrobe space and two small balconies.

Why they chose this property
We first visited Skopelos in 2003 and found the pine covered hills, deep valleys and beautiful coves so picturesque and interesting that we continued to visit several times each year. Every hike into the countryside produced a photographic record of the wildlife so that we have been able to produce a Field Guide to the Insects and Spiders of the island.
Walking has been interspersed with social activities, particularly lunch times in the numerous peaceful tavernas that line the harbour. Sometimes, in the Greek tradition, these continue into supper times - watching the beautiful contrasts of light and shade as the sun sinks behind the hills. There are also a wide variety of shops, churches and monasteries to explore.
What makes this property unique
Harbour View was bought primarily because of the magnificent views from the roof terrace, its’ convenient location and because our family found the three bathrooms (though small) particularly useful.
