Skopelos Panormos beach

General information

Stretching in the heart of a sheltered bay on the island’s southwestern coast, Panormos is a lovely pebbly beach with stunning sky-blue waters contrasting with the emerald hues of the lush pine forests hugging the shore. The sea also deepens quite quickly, which makes it ideal for swimming without getting too far away from the water's edge.

Moreover, it is one of the most easily accessible beaches on the island, as it can be reached by bus from Skopelos Town. Some parking space is also available by the main road, though it may not always be enough during the high season. Panormos is well-organized with umbrellas and sunbeds, but there is also enough room left to lay down your own equipment if you wish to. Around the beachfront, visitors will find plenty of taverns and cafes, where they can sit back and take in the magnificent sea views.

On the other side of Panormos, you will also find a lovely natural harbor known as Mplo, which can be reached by boat or via a short dirt road. This serene haven is ideal for anyone seeking to unwind far from noisy crowds while swimming there gives you the feeling that you are in the midst of a scenic lake.

Tip: The late evening is one of the best times to visit Panormos Beach, as its glorious sunset views are a one-of-a-kind experience.
