Travel Note
There are several ways to get to Skopelos. This website explains some of the best ways to do so. -Fly into Skiathos and ferry over -Fly into Athens then take a bus and ferry down to Skopelos
Rental Car
No, you do not need a rental car. Our wedding will be held in Skopelos town, Skopelos. While there are many places to stay across the island, you'll want to find a place close to the port. There are many restaurants, shops and bars within walking distance of this area. Cabs and buses are also available and can take you to you to different beaches and sites to see. When George and I went last year, we did not get a rental car. The roads are tight, winding and in some parts unpaved with very few areas to park. Unless your are comfortable driving in these conditions, cabs and buses are the way to go!
Hotel
See below for a list of convenient hotels. *Disclaimer: we have not stayed at most of these hotels so do your research*. While you are browsing places to stay here are some things to consider: - Air Conditioning! Greece is hot in July. Not every hotel/rental has AC. Most hotels explicitly state if they do have it so make sure you filter your results for this feature. - Staying in the heart of the town? Keep in mind Skopelos Town is built on a hill with winding alleys and stairs. Make sure to pick a hotel you can walk and carry your bags to. If you have any concerns about this, please let us know so we can help you find a hotel/rental that will work for you. -Skopelos is an older town so unfortunately you won't find any private infiniti pools here. Think of your hotel as a place to sleep and shower but for the most part we'll be out on the town or at the beaches! -Book early!
