Holidays in Glossa

Anyone wanting to savour authentic Skopelos will love holidays in Glossa. Perched above an enchanting bay on the north-western coast, this unspoilt mountain village is wonderfully quaint and perfect for experiencing true Greek island life.

And Thomson have a terrific range of holidays to choose from, including early and late season deals and self-catering holidays that'll get you really excited about coming to Glossa.

When you're not pottering around the cobbled alleys, shops and kafenions of the hillside village, Glossa's port area of Loutraki is an easy walk downhill and offers cheerful ouzeries and tavernas overlooking a small ferry quay. Nearby, you'll find a lovely pebble beach and unusually, some fascinating ruins - the timeworn remains of the ancient town of Selinus. Come evening, many Glossa holidaymakers come back to Loutraki's bay to dine, drink and chat by the water's edge, the lights of distant Skiathos providing a twinkling accompaniment on the horizon.

Of course, half the attraction of holidays in Glossa lies in enjoying Skopelos itself. All around, you'll find deserted beaches – some only reached by hire boat - plus lonely footpaths to the forests and monasteries of the peaceful interior. And don't miss Skopelos Town. With its colourful gift shops, crumbled fortress and picture-perfect waterfront, it's an absolute must-see.
