Skopelos is a Greek island located in the western Aegean Sea as part of the Northern Sporades island group. Situated east of the Pelion peninsula on the mainland and north of Euboea, it falls within the Thessaly region. The island covers an area of 96 km2 (37 sq mi), making it slightly larger than both Mykonos and Santorini.
The name Skopelos refers to both the island itself and its main port and municipal center. Other communities on the island include Glossa and Neo Klima (Elios). The geography is characterized by two mountains exceeding 500 meters in height: Delphi, located in the center at 681 meters, and Palouki in the southeast. The nearest inhabited islands are Skiathos to the west and Alonnisos to the east.
