The great thing about holidaying or living on this island is that most months of the year you can choose when and whether you want to be amongst a lot of people or not. There are so many different places here.
In the middle of summer you can find all of it. There is so much variety. The busy beach of Kastani (see photo above) or the empty beach close to Hondro Georgi (see below)
and the wonderful kantina at Perivoliou.
Go and look for it. The beaches, the places to eat and drink. The monasteries, the footpaths, the mountains, the churches, the springs, the forests. It is all here.
This island with it’s amazing nature, it’s springs, it’s valleys and hills and this abundance of fruits, wild greens and herbs keep giving us diamonds. Avgata (eggs) plums. There are so so many!!!
Every evening starts around 20.30 hours. The place to be is the old harbor of Skopelos. During the day , master classes and lectures are given and Greek musical instruments are on display.

Stamatis Perissis
Last week all owners of properties in Skopelos and other areas have received an email about the registration of their properties in the National Greek Land Registry (ΕΘΝΙΚΟ ΚΤΙΜΑΤΟΛΟΓΙΟ)
If you have not registered your property you should do this. The local National Land Registry office in Volos could do this first registration for you. Make an appointment with them and ask which papers you need to bring (see below for telephone number and address) and you pay for the registration or a civil engineer, an architect, a lawyer could maybe help you with this and you pay them for their help.
The e-mail message you received is only in Greek as far as I could find out and the message has to contain your name and the username otherwise it is spam.With the username and password that you or your accountant uses to enter your taxfile (Taxisnet) you can also gain access to:www.ktimatologio.gov.gr
The message in the email says (translated by me)

Today I could not stop thinking and feeling so sad and angry about the innocent children and teachers who got killed in Texas. They thought they were safe in their school but unfortunately that was an illusion.
And we are in paradise
