That had a positive impact on their way of living fortunately, without affecting their traditions. Today the residents of Skopelos are distinguished for their hard work, their hospitality, and their interest related to social life; moreover, pottery, painting and music especially “rempetiko” were some of their favourite hobbies as they have a tendency towards arts. The island’s climate is mild during winter and warm during summer.

Skopelos is covered in dense forests that sometimes reach its beautiful beaches. The island is full of forests like pine and plane trees, olive groves, almond and lots of other fruit trees. In ancient times, the island was called Peparithos named after Ariadni’s and Dionysus’ son.

Hora, the capital, was declared a traditional settlement by the Greek government. It is a traditional town with characteristic architecture placed in the north-east part of the island. The island has a great amount of old traditional churches, and monasteries specifically; there are 360 churches of which the 123 are in Hora.
