Outside
The house has a garden at the front and a shady covered area to sit. Ample seating is on every floor with a top terrace for sunbathing. The house is kept cool by a sea breeze. There are two nearby swimming pools owned by small complexes. One is opposite the house, the second a short walk up the lane. It is beautifully situated with lovely views. Little Owl house guests can use them. I only ask that you make use of their respective bars in return! Photos available.
Coast/Beach
As the sea is close by, the nearest beach is 30 seconds walk. While attracting a share of bathers it is by no means the best beach on the island and is not recommended being in near proximity to the main village. The closest 2 beaches are gems and are 10 minutes by car or 30 minutes walking distance. There is also a regular bus service so car hire is not essential.
Special interest holidays
Skopelos is a paradise for walkers especially in the spring when it is cooler and the island is covered in wild flowers. The island is very green and there are established routes for walkers and a local guide who organises hikes. Otherwise the not too commercialised beaches are excellent.
Travel
The nearest airport is Skiathos and from the local port there you take a ferry or hydrofoil (flying dolphin) to Skopelos which takes about 40-60 minutes. From there the house is a 10 minute walk. A car is not necessary for staying on the island as there is a good bus service and taxis are very friendly.
Distances
10 minutes walk to the main village of Skopelos.
Further details
Good quality restaurants and supermarkets are all within walking distance. Skopelos village has been designated a world heritage site and specialist pottery shops (the island is renowned for the quality) and antique shops can all be found amongst its cobbled streets. The main waterfront walk has many tavernas and bars nestled amongst the fishing boats as well as banks with cash point, a medical centre and several chemists. There is also a photographic centre and prestigious exhibitions each year, an internet cafe and a bookshop selling English newspapers and books. This September the island was chosen as a location for the forthcoming Hollywood film 'Mamma Mia'.

Guest comments
I have been letting 'Little Owl' for 5 years and the feedback has been excellent. The house is looked after by a Norwegian lady who makes guests feel welcome and provides local information on the best places to go. The house is very comfortable and a relaxing place to spend time.
' Hi Darren, just to let you know we have had the best two weeks at Little Owl. Wonderful building and wonderful island, we really could not have had a more relaxing fortnight'.
' Many thanks for the use of your house over the last couple of weeks. We were fascinated by the house and it suited our needs perfectly – we are a family who tend to read and relax on holiday and the various sunbathing/shade options worked very well for us, as everyone could do as they pleased and we all thoroughly wound down'
