Panagia Skopiotissa Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

One of the most impressive places on Zakynthos, high up below the Skopos lies this ancient church. The ruins all around bear witness to a moving history.

The journey is worth it! A charming lady who takes care of our well-being after the climb. Fresh orange juice, a good coffee, chilled drinks...
A few kind words and a magnificent view!
From here it is not far to the monastery, which her husband Giorgos will be happy to show you. hold on! 😉

The last few meters have to be scrambled. Surefootedness and a head for heights are an advantage!

Viewpoint Below Mount Skopos Summit

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this spot just below the summit of Mount Skopos, you get great views of the surrounding countryside, mountains, and out to the glittering blue waters of the Ionian Sea. This is a great place to pause and catch your breath before continuing on to the summit.

Byzantine Church of St. Nicholas

Highlight • Religious Site

Even though the roof structure, as well as the windows and doors, are completely missing from the building, the outer walls of the former church are surprisingly well preserved for a church ruin—or have presumably been carefully restored. It's not surprising that the church was once dedicated to Saint Nicholas: As the patron saint of sailors (among other things), his cult is very widespread along the Mediterranean coast.

A really nice tour with great impressions and views. A bit of history and pure nature with the scent of fresh thyme.

It is best to start early on hot days. The partly asphalted / concreted paths heat up a lot. There is little shade.

Beautiful circular hike with stunning views

The hike from Argassi to the Panagia Skopiotissa Monastery, with a stop at the Skopos Café, is absolutely worthwhile for anyone who wants to enjoy nature, peace, and a bit of culture.

The route is about 10 km long and easily manageable for experienced hikers – sturdy footwear is definitely recommended, however, as it …
