Hovolo Beach Skopelos

The remote Hovolo beach, we find it on the west coast of the green Skopelos Island under the main road that leads from Kastani beach to the village of Elios. The capital Skopelos Town is about nineteen kilometers exactly on the opposite side.

Hidden between high cliffs dotted with maritime pines, it has a narrow coast of snow-white stones, clean and crystalline waters, a turquoise and emerald colored sea with depths that descend quite quickly and mainly made up of rocks, therefore not exactly easy for so enter if you are a family with small children, be very careful, it would be better to have rock shoes to avoid slipping and ruining your holiday.
Hovolo beach is of an impressive wild beauty, given its position and the difficulty in reaching it, it has still remained in its original state and offers an almost surreal landscape.

You will also understand by yourself that not even the shade is comfortable here, no sunbeds, umbrellas or kiosks, if during your holiday in Skopelos you decide to go as far as here and spend an entire day, remember to bring everything you need, from something to drink, to eat and above all since it is exposed to the sun from morning to sunset, something to shelter you during the hottest hours. The alternative is to look for a place under the rocks that manage to give you some respite but even here, given the size of the beach, first come first served.

Hovolo beach is perfect for snorkelers, the coast hides small caves to be explored as well as marine fauna and flora to be discovered. So don't forget to bring fins, a mask, a snorkel and even an underwater camera. If you like to take a walk instead, you will find fairy groves on the cliffs but even in this case be careful because you have to climb and therefore it would be better to have suitable shoes, not flip flops please!

Although it is a bit challenging to get there during the summer season, the Hovolo beach can be a little crowded even if in reality it takes little to fill it, but even just for a bath and a couple of hours of total relaxation it is worth it worth.

In reality, the coast offers its visitors many coves one after the other, you just need to have a little spirit of adventure and cross the rocks that naturally divide them by fording the sea. The combination of sea and rocks makes Hovolo beach a real paradise that you absolutely must not miss during your holiday in Greece.

Then it is not impossible or difficult, you just need to have a little good will but we are sure that upon your arrival you will immediately forget about the sacrifice (if we can call it that).
