While it may be true that the focus of most is to get to Ag Ioanni (Mama Mia's church), a short stop at Ag Riginos on the way to the other end of the island provides a peaceful alternative. Martyred in the Church's early history, Agios Riggings was the first bishop and later the patron saint of Skopelos. The standing church and monastery compound is built on the original site that honored the martyr's life work and passing. The monks are long gone but the grounds are lovingly tended by--at the time of our visit--by a woman who continues to sell small items made by the monks on Athos and closer by monasteries.

It is a bit tricky to find the location, but the view from above is amazing. According to map, it can be reached from two points, but we were coming from Neo Klima towards Pano Kareia location, following road signs for Sandoukia. Turning left toward Sandoukia you should take a macadam road uphill until you see a big red (actually traffic) sign pointing to the right. There starts the hiking path to Sandoukia which isn't demanding but you need to wear sneakers, at least. Follow red marks along the path and you'll get there in 15 minutes or less. The highest point is pile of rocks but you need to continue down for a while to find Pirate Graves.

Skopelos Town is the first village ones sees while reaching the port. This little town which is the capital and main port of Skopelos is quite picturesque with lovely whitewashed houses, flower gardens and colorful balconies. Its fountains, its many little whitewashed churches, narrow streets and alleys compose the beautiful setting of the village. The town is built amphitheatrically amidst lush surroundings with a long labyrinth of alleys reaching the top of the hill where the ancient castle lies. At the bottom of the town, at the port where most of the activities take place during the summer, you will find plenty of restaurants, shops and modern accommodations.
