Skopelos (Greek: Σκόπελος, romanized: Skópelos, [ˈskopelos]) is a Greek island in the western Aegean Sea. Skopelos is one of several islands that comprise the Northern Sporades island group, which lies east of the Pelion peninsula on the mainland and north of the island of Euboea. It is part of the Thessaly region. Skopelos is also the name of the island's main port and municipal center. The other communities of the island are Glossa and Neo Klima (Elios). The geography of Skopelos includes two mountains over 500 m (1,640 ft); Delphi (681 m/2,234 ft) in the center of the island, and Palouki (546 m (1,791 ft)) in the southeast. With an area of 96 km² (37 sq mi) Skopelos is slightly larger than Mykonos (85 km²/33 sq mi) and Santorini (73 km²/28 sq mi).
