Spring

You probably know that Skopelos has many springs and that many people get their drinking water from there. The springs provide so much water that properties, sometimes, don’t need a mains water connection because the water stream never stops flowing. A lot of people have a water tank and a small motor that brings the water to the house.

These are photos of a spring in Mourtero. It does not have s special name. The bottles on the photograph are used to water the plants and the garden of houses nearby.
