Overview
Sit on the front terrace of this characterful villa late in the evening and watch as first the islands of Evia, Skiathos and then the distant mountains of the Pelion turn from gold to black as the sun sets. However, Villa Plaka is far more than just a viewpoint for a glorious sunset. Backed by the famous pine forests of Skopelos and with a daytime view that is equally magnificent and includes the picturesque harbour of Loutraki and the unspoilt hill village of Glossa, the villa is not at all remote. With a marvellous sense of space created by the surroundings, the spacious terracing and private pool complement this unique property. Villa Plaka is traditionally furnished and has two bedrooms, one double and a twin, with shared family bathroom and an additional WC off the open plan living/kitchen area. This is simple, comfortable living in true Skopelos style, with views that are truly memorable.

Location
Skopelos, born from the remnants of Zeus's mythical battle against the Titans, now stands as a serene island. Among its treasures lies Palio Klima, a charming settlement with a tumultuous past. Despite enduring destruction from earthquakes, the village has been lovingly restored, preserving its traditional allure. Palio Klima boasts the island's finest sunsets, painting the sky with hues of fire above the "wine-dark sea," an enchanting Greek spectacle. Nestled amidst Skopelos's renowned pine forests, the villa offers breath-taking views, across to both the islands of Evia and Skiathos and encompassing the picturesque harbour of Loutraki plus the pristine hill village of Glossa. Despite its idyllic setting, backed by the famous pine forests of Skopelos, the villa remains easily accessible, ensuring guests can relish both its tranquillity and the island's natural wonders effortlessly.
