Velanio is the only official naturist beach on Skopelos. This south-east facing beach of dark sand and fine shingle which gets very hot during the summer months, has calm, clear and very clean waters.
If you follow the caves around to the left you will come to a beautiful natural spring which will provide you with fresh water. Be careful of the hornet bees which can be quite agressive after the harvest of nearby plum trees.The sun sets behind the cliffs around 5.30, so bear this in mind when planning a visit to this lovely naturist beach.
