Loutraki Harbour

Loutraki Harbour is Skopelos' main port, sitting on the island's northeast coast near the hilltop village of Glossa — and it's usually your first taste of the island if you're coming from the mainland (Volos or Agios Konstantinos) or hopping over from Skiathos. It has a working, no-fuss character that feels more local than touristy, with ferries and smaller craft sharing the water. From the dock, the climb up to Glossa is worth it for the views and the quieter pace compared to Skopelos Town.
