General information

Stafilos Beach is a stunning retreat that captivates visitors with its natural beauty and tranquil ambiance.

The beach itself features a delightful mix of golden sand and smooth pebbles, providing a soft and inviting shoreline. The water is crystal-clear and shallow near the shore, transitioning to deeper hues of blue as you venture further out, making it perfect for swimming and snorkeling. The underwater world is teeming with marine life, offering a vibrant setting for snorkelers to explore.

    Put more bins on beaches
    Stafilos is probably the most crowded beach on Skopelos. Although there are no beach bars or sport clubs, it gets very busy. It is very close to Skopelos town, where we stayed, and easy to go by bus (we had rented a motorbike, though, to see all of the island). The water was very clean and the environment picturesque. It is actually a short beach under a huge mountain edge. You have to climb down a rough path to go. The authorities, however, should put more bins on the beach because they full up quickly and they don't empty them frequently. It is a shame to leave rubbish on such beautiful beaches.
