Singles and Groups

Have the countryside to yourselves and take advantage of perfect conditions.  Get a group together and visit in March or mid / late October.  Accommodation to suit every pocket can be arranged. For single ladies, I can particularly recommend Pension Kyr Sotos. Details, images and booking on www.skopelos.net/sotos. For couples and groups, you can do no better than Rigas Hotel Skopelos https://bit.ly/2P71cot. They are open year round.

We take out a minimum of 2 walkers. Our maximum has been 84!  We can also arrange transport and meals.

The walks and hikes run throughout the year. Check out our Seasons page for more details.
