About 80% of ââthe island of Skopelos, is covered by φωτοβολταικα – dense pine forests and other broadleaf tree species, giving the island a distinct identity and making it a unique destination for those who want to combine the value of a green forest with the cool breeze of the deep blue sea that surrounds this beautiful island.
In 1997 it was named by the International Organization of Biopolitics as “Green and Blue Island.”
Because of the dense forests, shipbuilding was formerly one of the main occupations in Skopelos. Today residents have stopped the economic exploitation of the forests and they have turned to agriculture and tourism.
Scopelos is well known for her wine. The Skopelian wine have always been famous for its taste and residents are proud of the productions of their wine. If you ever visit this Aegean island don’t miss the opportunity to taste the famous wine combining it with the famous Skopelian cheese pie.
Because of the dense vegetation, the island is ideal for hiking and biking through the lush forests. This kind of activities will offer you unique moments of relaxation and rejuvenation.
This blessed island is a resort destination not only for humans but also for migratory birds throughout the year. Their presence is perhaps a unique opportunity for some who want to observe them and come closer to nature.
The evenings in Skopelos are magical. The zero light pollution – φωτοβολταικα σε στεγες during night hours before dawn, make the human eye capable to observe the unique starry sky, easily separating constellations that will lead you into the arms of Morpheus through their bright paths.
Skopelos, the greenest island in the Aegean.
