Staphylos

(May also refer to Staphylus son of Goddess Ariadne)

Staphylos is located 4 kilometres south of Skopelos, Greece. The area of Staphylos includes a bay and hotels and is accessible by local bus, private car or on foot. Because of its beauty and proximity to the town, the beach at Staphylos is one of the most popular on the island and so it is often very crowded.

This bay owes its name to the Minoan King Staphylos or Staphylus whose ships are supposed to have landed in this cove. A bronze age tomb was discovered on the point of land between Staphylos beach and Velanio.
