Trail Running in Skopelos.
We had been recommended Skopelos in the Greek Islands as a good holiday destination many times, so this September booked it up. After a 3 hour flight to Skiathos, a 5 minute taxi ride to the port a 45 minute wait and then a ferry to Skoplelos Town which took 40 minutes. We based ourselves in Skopelos Town. We rented a car which helped us get to the remote area’s. Mount Delhpi from Mount Palouki. The trail running in Skopelos turned out to be very good. The island is split by 2 distinct areas. Mount Delphi with the highest peak on the island of 681m and Mt Palouki at 567m. Both of these area’s are accessible running in from Skopelos Town. The most popular route was the Monastery Trail of Palouki from Skopelos Town This is popular with fell walking clubs and proved to be an excellent run. Running off Mount Palouki on the Monastry Trail. The island also offers Mountain Biking , sea kayaking , diving and sailing activities and well as some remote beaches/
