Glossa is a 15-minute boat-ride from Skiathos and 3 hours from the Port of Aghios Constantinos.
If you have baggage then you will need to take a taxi (about 5EURO) or bus from the port to the village of Glossa.
'''By Bus''' There are several buses each day that leave from the bottom of the village and take you to the port of Loutraki (10 minutes) and the many beaches and villages dotted along the coastline before finally arriving at Skopelos town (1 hour).
Take a stroll down to Loutraki harbour (30 mins) for a swim in the crystal blue Aegean waters, but make sure you get the bus back if you_fre not up for a hike!
However, walking is a big pastime in this area with an array of flora and fauna to be appreciated at varying times of year.
Take a bus to Skopelos Town for souvenir shops and cafes where you can sit and watch the comings and going of this delightfully Greek white washed harbour. Spend an evening there in on of its many lively tavernas and enjoy some traditional bouzouki music.
In Glossa there are four main tavernas and a souvlaki bar:
'''Agnanti Bar and Restaurant''' first opened its doors in 1953 and now boasts many foreign and local customers who travel to enjoy spectacular food and breathtaking scenery.
'''Maistrali Restaurant''' was opened in 2004 and is run by the extremely friendly husband and wife team, Eva and Nektarios. It offers stunning uninterrupted views and fabulous food. Try the braised beef and plums.
'''To Steki Tou Mastoras Taverna''' offers a more laid-back every-day atmosphere with good priced local specialties.
'''Astarti Restaurant''' has Swiss as well as Greek dishes, plus pizza - open all year.
'''Platana rooms''' Tel: +30 24240 23338. Simple but clean with wonderful balcony views, they are run by the lovely Eleni and are a ten-minute walk from Glossa village.
It is also relatively easy to catch a ferry to the mainland. '''Volos''' and '''Aghios Constantinos''' are the biggest ports and from there you can catch a bus to central '''Athens''' where you can enjoy a weekend break.
