Glossa, the northernmost village on Skopelos, is a sleepy hillside cluster of little houses, two tavernas and a café bar, a supermarket and a small selection of shops. Narrow, cobblestone streets pass whitewashed houses and old Venetian towers, which look out across the sea to the island of Skiathos. One of the higher hillside terraces of the village contains the small, main square where the village men sip coffee and click rosary beads in the shade of a large mimosa tree. A five minute drive from Glossa village takes one down to the small port and pebble beach of Loutraki with its peaceful waterfront, shaded by plane trees, of tavernas and bars, which overlook a colourful assortment of fishing boats. Surrounding valleys of olive and almond groves sweep down to two coastlines of beaches, one of which is overlooked by the impressive church of Agios Ioannis, perched atop a rock risen from the sea.
