Stafilos Holidays

Nestled on the southern coast of Skopelos Island, Stafilos is a tranquil village surrounded by pine-clad hills and crystal-clear water. Just a 10-minute drive from Skopelos Town, it’s a haven for holidaymakers looking to unwind while keeping close to the island’s key attractions.

Start your holiday on Stafilos Beach, a dreamy cove with fine sand and the calmest turquoise waters you’ll ever dip into. Feeling adventurous? Stroll over the headland to discover Velanio Beach, Skopelos’ hidden gem and the island’s only official nudist beach – but don’t worry, clothing is optional.

When hunger calls, head to a traditional taverna in the village to sample Greek specialities like freshly grilled fish, juicy souvlaki, and vibrant Skopelos cheese pies. Pair it all with a glass of local wine for the full Mediterranean experience.

If you’re a history enthusiast, don’t miss a visit to Stafilos Tomb, an ancient archaeological site steeped in Minoan legend. Located just a 15-minute walk from the village, the tomb is believed to belong to Prince Stafilos, a mythical figure connected to Crete’s Minoan civilisation. It’s a fascinating spot to explore.

For nature lovers, the area around Stafilos is crisscrossed with picturesque hiking trails that wind through pine forests, olive groves, and vineyards. These paths offer not only stunning views of the island’s lush landscapes but also moments of tranquillity away from the busier beaches. Along the way, keep your camera handy – whether it’s a panoramic view of the coastline or the vibrant greenery, there’s no shortage of photo opportunities.

Whether you’re a sun worshipper, a foodie, or an adventurer, Stafilos delivers a slice of paradise with a generous helping of Greek hospitality.
