Loutraki in Skopelos

Loutraki, two kilometres below Glossa, is Skopelos' second largest port (Glossa in timetables). Loutraki is built on the same site as the ancient city of Selinous. Selinous was inhabited until the Roman period.

Remains of the Roman baths in Loutraki.

Even today there are clear traces of the Romans, including ruins of a Roman bath. By the waterfront, there is a wooden building with information boards where you can read about the history of Skopelos, one of the information boards is about the ancient city of Selinous.

Loutraki is located about 2 kilometres below Glossa.

Taverna Flisvos in Loutraki.

Today, Loutraki is like all port villages, with several hotels, pensions and tavernas, a few shops and a pebble beach that does not belong to any of the better beaches of Skopelos. I recommend Taverna Flisvos to the far right: good food, nice owners and a great location right by the sea.

The best thing about Loutraki is having lunch or dinner with the sea as a close neighbor.

ACCOMMODATION IN LOUTRAKI

If you want to stay near Glossa and the church of Mamma-Mia, or if you want to be near to the port if you have to be in time for an early or late ferry, then Loutraki is perfect. If I were to choose accommodation in Loutraki then it would be Aegean Wave.
