Hello! My name is Manolis Sofikitis, and I am the owner and founder of Emerald Skopelos. I come from Skopelos, where I grew up, and yes(!) I had a pretty amazing childhood growing up here! My family, my parents and siblings, are involved with tourism since I can remember myself! So even though, I got my degree as an Electrical Engineer from Chania, Crete, I decided to return to Skopelos and do what I always loved to, hosting people from all over the world and helping them get the best out of their vacations. I try to spend as much time as possible in Skopelos countryside, mountains and beaches and to explore the abundant hidden surprises of nature. Either by bicycle, by foot, by boat or even by car there are so many amazing places to discover around the island. I like listening and playing music. I am experimenting with piano, trumpet and mpouzouki (the most popular traditional Greek music instrument), and lucky me (and you!) we have a long tradition of Rembetiko (folklore Greek) music in Skopelos, which you can enjoy in many taverns and in lots of genres.

Spent your vacations in this amazing villa with your own private pool and barbecue facilities. Unique rustic style with touches of Skopelos tradition, renovated with all modern facilities. Located on the top of Raches hill this villa offers a wide view over Aegean Sea and the impressive mountains of Skopelos. What we are excited about: • Lovely garden with stone dining table • Spectacular pool view • Amazing surrounding countryside for hiking • Unique style in decoration • En suite bathrooms in both bedrooms IMPORTANT DETAILS TO NOTE : The house is located 4km away from Skopelos town and 8 km away from the nearest beach. Therefore it is better to have a car when staying at our villa. The use of barbeque facilities is restricted during the summer months ( June, July and August). Greek authorities prohibit open fires during these months due to the high risk of wildfires.

Distances from points of interest • 5,1 km (13 minutes by car) away from the port • 4,9 km (12 minutes by car) away from supermarket • 3,4 km (9 minutes by car) away from Glifoneri beach
