Beach overall scores
Glysteri beach (Thessaly) is located outside the Skopelos settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Skopelos island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Glysteri beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"This beach is fantastic, with great music and incredibly friendly staff. The service is lightning-fast, and the food menu has plenty of delicious options. There's also a large grassy area behind the bar for sports lovers to play rackets, football, volleyball, and more. Skopelos Island's best choice by far!"
Nikitas Kostopoulos
"This beach is great if you're looking for a lively atmosphere. It can get a bit windy, but overall it's a great spot to relax. The sunbeds are top-notch and cost €12 for a pair for the whole day - some of the most comfortable on the island. There's a good selection of food, from pizza to salads, burgers, and sandwiches. I had a Caesar sandwich which was really tasty and good..."
