Like Skiathos, is densely wooded in pine over its slopes.
It is also very fertile β€" vines, olives, almonds, pears, citrus fruit and plums for which the island is famous are grown.
It is intensely cultivated and the
inhabitants are farmers not seafarers. Although the island has a remote feel to it, in summer visitors who come from Skiathos for its splendid beaches invade it every day.
Recently archaeologists discovered evidence of a Cretan settlement, which makes Skopelos the most northerly Minoan site so far, unearthed .
