Glossa
Glossa is the second largest village in Skopelos, with population of about 1 000 inhabitants. It is in the north part of the island, built amphitheatrically on the slope of a mountain, with wonderful view over the sea and the island of Skiathos. The sea shore is a few km down the slope.
The old part and center of the village is car-free. There is a municipal parking lot next to the big church, which is along the main road and if you want to take a walk in Glossa, you have to continue on foot. The houses are old, with painted wooden balconies and window covers. The streets are cobbled, narrow and steep but they all lead to the top of the village where you will find a small square with a taverna, cafe, and a church.
Loutraki, the second port of the island, is situated 2-3 km below Glossa and it has been developing as a small resort with hotels, rooms to rent, tavernas by the sea and a few beaches.
