Skopelos (Greek: Σκόπελος) is a Greek island in the western Aegean Sea. Skopelos is one of several islands which comprise the Northern Sporades island group, which lies east of the Pelion peninsula on the mainland and north of the island of Euboea. It is part of the Thessaly region. Skopelos is also the name of the main port and the municipal center of the island. The other communities of the island are Glossa and Neo Klima (Elios). The geography of Skopelos includes two mountains over 500 m (1,640 ft); Delphi (681 m/2,234 ft) in the center of the island, and Palouki (546 m/1,791 ft) in the southeast. With an area of 96 square kilometres (37 sq mi) Skopelos is slightly larger than Mykonos (85 km/33 sq mi) and Santorini (73 km/28 sq mi). The nearest inhabited islands are Skiathos to the west and Alonissos to the east.

A bit out of the crowded restaurant area on the harbour, 5 minutes walk in the climbing in the small pittoresk streets appear a garden of taste ... This restaurant is just excellent for the quality of food, the traditional dishes and the service ... Family owned, all dishes are excellent : try in particular the lamb and the stifado. Deserves really a visit ...

This gastronomic journey began in 1953 in the picturesque amphitheatrical village of Glossa, on Skopelos. That year, grandmother Aglaia Stamataki and her son Nikos (grandfather of the present owner) set up a tavern that they named "Gallia" (France), to appeal to the few French tourists who visited the island at that time. In 1985, the little taverna changed its name and was rebaptized "Agnanti" (meaning "view"), to reflect its beautiful aspect over the Aegean. It was around that time that Agnanti passed into the hands of the children of grandfather Nikos: Stamatis and Mahoula Stamatakis. With their wonderful, well-prepared recipes, Agnanti immediately made an impression and gained a great reputation on the island. Their son, Nikos, knew no other life when growing up, other than Agnanti. He helped out doing little chores and entered at a very young age into the world of the magical flavors his parents created. From an early age Nikos decided that he, too, wanted to devote himself to Agnanti. The dream became a reality and Nikos has now taken on the running of Agnanti. Handed from generation to generation, Nikos feels that Agnanti is a wonderful inheritance. Honoring family tradition, he has further developed Agnanti, putting his own gastronomical stamp on today's restaurant. And so it is that little tavern that opened in 1953 has today become a great modern restaurant without losing any of its atmosphere and originality. Everyone who visits Agnanti today becomes a faithful friend. And it is these friends who, with their love and patronage, continue to write Agnanti's history.
Visited for a birthday dinner it was our second time there.
We had a wonderful night the staff team are very professional and attentive..and the whole restaurant sang happy birthday and presented a cake with a candle so no complaints there.
The food was interesting different from usual Greek fare and some was delicious .
I really enjoyed my starter of spinach lsamphire and capers and the beetroot salad was another hit.
The mains of pork was very good .I can't remember the other 2 main courses not they were just ok.
I feel Agnantj is a good restaurants offering something different and unusual and the view on our balcony seats is magical.Worth a visit if your in Glossa.

In 2014 we relocated within the heart of Skopelos Town, creating a tavern that follows the traditional style of the "tsipouradiko". With a small, but with quality, menu, we deliver a carefree and heartwarming atmosphere for your holidays.
When visiting the Greek Islands we lok to eat in traditional tavernas and not the ones in te tourist areas or with pictures on their menus!
It was therefore necessary to put Finikas ( means palm tree i believe) on our list of places to eat in he evening
On arrival we were met with a very warm welcome and took up the second to last table available, the last being taken a few minutes later
Food was delicious and we can highly recommend the meatballs from the meze menu as a starter and of course the pork rolled in apple and plums which was, and appears to always be, the special
The one downside, we were told the pork was served with salad and potatoes.it came with chips which were very soggy as they were sitting in the gravy. I would ask for my chips on a side dish or perhaps potatoes instead.
House rose was great and cery good value
Yup, we would return to try different items from the menu
Go along expecting a very traditional atmosphere and food and you will leave very happy and with a number of euros still in your pocket!

Visited there with a Greek Friend - it's a pleasant place to sit, eat and while away the evening. The atmosphere was calm, the service good and the food okay.

At extremely short notice–30 minutes, the owner and staff of Limnonari were able to provide us with a wonderful supper spread to near 50 people after our 8 boat flotilla sailed into the bay in July 2017. The wonderful local dishes were excellent, the drink plentiful and the environ amenable. I can't rate the staff and service highly enough!

Louki is up the mountain, from the Taxi Stand in Glossa, but worth the climb. It is the most reasonably priced cafe for Souvlaki in the area. Our 8 year old girls chose Louki almost daily for what they called "Chicken on a Stick." It is a small but the food is good and the view of the sea is wonderful.

We ate here twice during our week in Skopelos and enjoyed the food and service on each occassion. The location overlooks the bay with tables outside (weather permitting however they do supply blankets for those feeling the cold during their meals). The menu is quite big with a good selection of starters and main courses including some greek specialities. It also has an ample wine list. The atmosphere is relaxed and the waiters are friendly and informative. The food is not cheap here but the ambience, food and service we thought was worth it. The weather changed for the worse on our last night with no tables outside so I recommend you book ahead if you're planning a visit. My wife celebtrated her birthday here and the staff dimmed the lights , sang happy birthday and presented her with a special dessert with a candle and sparklers!! Great night !!

We had the best lunch time in the Island. We went at Stafilos Restaurant twice because we loved the quality of the food. The food was so tasty. More specifically we ordered greek traditional dishes such as: ''Greek salad'' , ''Musakas'', and Fried fish with hellenic traditional sauce which called: ''Skordalia''. All the dishes were fresh and tasty. The staff was friendly with us all the time... Also being so excited with the food at the Stafilos Restaurant we drunk the traditional ''Greek Coffee'' enjoying the astonished view that the Restaurant has...
As regards the prices were very good about the quality that the food had.
The next time that i will be in Skopelos i will visit the Stafilos Restaurant again!
Last but not least i would like to thank the Stafilos Restaurant staff for its lovely hospitality.

I had a bottle of retsina here while taking time to read in a book. I was being served by one of the friendly daughters. It is a chill place.

It's the 4th consecutive year that we eat at this restaurant in Glossa port of Skopelos. Needless to comment the magnificent view and best sunset experience in Skopelos island ! Homemade dishes by Mrs Andromachi maintain this restaurant at top ranking on this island. Try oven bake scorpion fish with plums (skorpina or tsipoura plaki). That's the best choice ! Very good home bottled wine and delicious Pana cotta are also preferred choices. Highly recommend !
