Savvy travelers have excellent touring options in Skopelos Town. The standout choice is the 3-hour Mamma Mia Cliff Tour – it’s intimate, well-paced, and takes you right to that famous cliff-top chapel with knockout views. For water lovers, I’m really impressed with the full-day Skiathos sailing trip on a comfortable 55-foot boat. The swimming stops are perfectly timed, and the snorkeling spots are top-notch. Private boat tours round out the choices nicely, offering flexibility whether you want to captain yourself or hire a local skipper. Book ahead in summer – these tours fill fast. Let’s look at our favorite tours in detail.
