Park down near restaurants . Walk just 100 yards back up the hill towards Skopelos a dirt road winds up to the right not suitable for cars . Nice approx half hour walk each way . Meandering through the forest on good wide track (see satellite map heading anti-clockwise about half of the trail) . Several vantage spots to see our goal a real photo opportunity called "Three trees "on the headland surrounded by turquoise sea . Deep gorge if you have passed it .Double back into the little paths in the woods as not signposted . Worth the view alone. Well recommended followed by lunch or a drink back in Agnontas .

I've been coming back to “my” lovely Panormos bay for four years… Like I said, Panormos beach is for me one of the most beautiful beaches on Skopelos, where I spent a wonderful holiday every time I come. Crystal clear sea, not too many tourists (in June and September), most beautiful views in the morning, when the beach is still “empty” and the sea is calm like an oil and in the evening when the tourists leave and you can watch perfect sunsets...Place to run away from daily routine, work just or at least for one week in the year. Don't expect loud music, stands with souveniers, T shirts etc…

Crystal clear water and lots of fish! ???????????? Beautiful spot - very peaceful just the sound of the cicadas and the sea. If you’re getting a bus it’s a longish walk from the road (and back up again). Definitely need beach shoes as slippery stones getting in

This was a great beach as its right in the north of the island with a pretty rough road from Glossa to negotiate to get there.It has served parasols and loungers for €7 a couple and with a small bar at the car park for sun downers at the end of the day. Well sheltered with high cliffs from east breezes its well worth the effort to get to.

If you go to Stafylos beach..just keep walking. Behind the rocks you will find one of the most amazing beaches on Skopelos. Clean, good beach bar and not crowed in July. 2 sunbeds+ umbrella for 7€. Bring a book and relax all day

Reviewed By NicolasC973 - Limassol City, Cyprus
This was the first stop of our night bar hopping. The bar is situated on the port seafront road, and it was named after the huge tree under which all the tables are placed (Platanos) The way the tree surrounds the whole place, the little evening lights, the soft music, and the port view, all these give the place a somewhat exotic vibe. We loved this place, not only for its scenery, but also for its casual setting with traditional tables and chairs, the casual but friendly approach of the personnel, the local options of cold beer and of course the nature surrounding it!

Lovely traditional bakery by the port, with a great view to the sea. We tried loukoumades, mini ice creams, spinach and cheese pies. All were very delicious. We ended up coming back multiple times. The owner was very nice and we highly recommend this place.
