Approaching Loutráki with Glóssa up on the hillside |

By late afternoon the rain had stopped and so we set off up the path towards Glóssa. It was a surprisingly steep path but a much shorter distance than walking up the road which zigzags backwards and forwards across the hillside
Glóssa is a typical old town of the region, built on the hillside for protection, with narrow streets and lots of steps. There is no room for cars but mad scooter drivers screech around the steep alleys at high revs so you have to be ready to step aside.
Not content with just reaching the town somebody [Ed: true!] decided that we should climb right up to the top of the hill so, of course, the rest of the crew volunteered to go up there too. The views were nice and we found a small chapel at the peak under the pine trees.

So, having spent about a week on Skopelos it was time to move islands and on to Skiathos, probably Skiathos Town, if only to find somewhere to change the next Camping Gaz bottle! However, there are a few small islands just south of Skiathos harbour so we’ll probably look to explore those a little en route – a little more recce in preparation for Charlotte’s summer visit.
