STAFYLOS
Stafylos … Serenity between green and blue
The area of Stafylos is one of the most beautiful places in Skopelos, just five kilometers from the Town. It was named after the mythical hero Stafylos, son of Dionysus and Ariadne, and to this day it carries something of the magic and fertility suggested by its name. Here, nature dominates; the landscape filled with pine trees, olive groves, and earthy aromas gently embraces both the eye and the spirit.
Stafylos Beach is one of the island’s most famous beaches, a sheltered bay with golden sand, crystal-clear waters, and pine trees that reach the shoreline. Just a few steps away lies Velanio Beach, accessible by a short footpath, known for its pristine waters and peaceful atmosphere. These two shores offer the perfect balance between natural beauty and simplicity, creating an ideal setting for swimming, relaxation, and sunsets that linger in the memory.
Within this enchanting environment are the residences Villa John’s and Panos, two quiet retreats that blend discreetly into the surrounding nature. Their location, close to the Town yet with a sense of seclusion, gives visitors the privilege of experiencing Skopelos from within, as it truly is: green, calm, and authentic.
CHORA
Skopelos Chora … Tradition, island rhythm, and authentic living
Skopelos Town is the heart of the island, a lively canvas of whitewashed houses with tiled roofs, blooming courtyards, and narrow cobblestone alleys that climb toward the castle. Every step reveals the charm of a place that has preserved its traditional character, while the sounds, colors, and scents create the feeling of a genuine, welcoming, and vibrant island life.
The Town offers everything a visitor may need without losing its authenticity. Picturesque cafés, small tavernas with local dishes, shops with traditional products, and modern bars coexist harmoniously with the daily life of the locals. The port, just a few minutes from the Rania Residence apartments, serves as a natural point of reference, with boats coming and going slowly, moving at the same calm pace that defines Skopelos.
Within this setting are the Rania Olive, Rania Coconut and Rania Amarantos Apartments, three independent accommodation spaces that reflect the warmth and care of a family with a long tradition in hospitality. Their location is ideal for exploring the Town on foot, experiencing the island’s rhythm, and returning to a peaceful, well-kept space filled with an authentic island atmosphere.
ΠΑΝΟΡΜΟΣ
Panormos beach … The blue harbor of tranquility
Panormos is one of the most enchanting bays of Skopelos, known for its blue-green waters and the serenity that surrounds it. The landscape is unique; pine-covered and olive-filled slopes descend all the way to the sea, creating natural shade and a setting that looks like a painting. The beach has beautiful pebbles, clear waters, and deep natural protection, making it ideal for swimming even during the quietest afternoon hours.
Around the bay, there are small seaside tavernas and cafés that maintain a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. In the evening, the lights reflect on the water, creating an image of calmness and island simplicity, exactly what characterizes Skopelos. Panormos is easily accessible from the Town, about fifteen minutes by car, and is one of the most beloved spots for both locals and visitors.
Within this peaceful, green environment lies the Kastri complex, just sixty meters from the sea. Surrounded by flowers, stone-paved courtyards, and trees that offer shade and coolness, the Kastri apartments and studios provide warm hospitality and simplicity. It is the ideal destination for those who wish to relax close to nature, enjoy the sea, and experience Skopelos at its own gentle pace.
