Agnontas, Skopelos: Coastal Charm and Crystal Waters

Agnontas is a tiny, sleepy village on the west coast of Skopelos Island. A very picturesque fishing village which sits within a lovely natural bay, surrounded by pine trees. Today, Agnondas is the island’s second port, mostly used by fishing and sailing boats, sailing in the Aegean. It is also used as a backup option when winds are too strong and ferries cannot sail into Skopelos Town port. The village is named after the Olympic athlete Agnondas, who won the running race, of the 569BC Olympic Games. His face is depicted in a silver coin of the classical era and a statue has been erected at the port. 

Agnondas lies approximately 8km away from Skopelos Town and is connected to the capital town by the local bus that runs around Skopelos. The village itself has a small, pebble beach with emerald water but some of the island’s most gorgeous beaches can be found in the area around the village. It is also home to some of the top-rated restaurants on the island, especially in case it comes to seafood. Agnontas is not the most popular place to stay as you are away from the hustle and bustle of the main town. However, there are a few accommodation options.
