Velanio Beach — Attraction in Skopelos Municipality

The beach is nothing special. You have to get there at 9 o'clock at the latest if you want to park your car. If you're coming by bus, it's about a 10/15 minute walk untill the part where the cars are parked, and than another 10/15 minutes from there until the beach.

I would recommend this beach for peaceful people who want to relax though not for families with kids (it's a...

To access this beach you need to walk to the end of stafilos beach and take the path through the trees to reach velanio beach. Mid June quite a few people but still plenty of space to spread out.

Swimming was lovely (be aware of some rocks in places). Easy access to water without swim shoes but the dark sand gets very hot so something on your feet might be needed to get...
