Skopelos is the greenest island in the Northern Sporades, a pine-covered and relatively unhurried destination that gained international recognition as the filming location for the Mamma Mia film and its sequel. At 100,000 euros per week, charter guests embark on motor yachts in the 35 to 42 metre range, vessels capable of exploring the full Sporades archipelago from a Skopelos base. The island has a beautiful town harbour on the east coast and a scattering of bays and beaches accessible only from the water, including the idyllic white pebble beach at Milia and the sheltered bay at Panormos. Charter yachts in this bracket typically sleep eight guests across four cabins and carry a crew of four to six. Provisioning in Skopelos Town is good through the summer season and the island is known for its plums, cheese and fresh fish. All-in costs including the APA run to roughly 130,000 euros per week. From Skopelos, the broader Sporades circuit includes Skiathos to the west for its beaches, and Alonnisos to the east for its national marine park and quieter character.
