    It's unbelievable what happens with this island. Is one of the places someone should visit in Greece. I am not from Skopelos but I felt in love with this when I first visited in 2009. Since then i visit it almost every 3 years. Check the beaches.There are sites with details photos etc and you will fall in love too. PS:Stafylos my favourite beach but not so far from the rest.

    If you really like a place so much you keep quiet, it's the best thing and biggest favor you can do for it. Once it becomes famous, it's over. This unstoppable desire to brag about things is terrible... and all just to show that you know something. Good for you, we all know sanctuaries like this and I would never tell you about them. Only the locals really care about them and the fewer outsiders find out, the better. So learn to be quiet, kid.

    I can understand the excitement and playfulness of flying a drone, but for someone who is not familiar with it, and who just watches the video, it can be quite uncomfortable to watch all these quick movements of shooting. You get a feeling of seasickness. If you could try to avoid these sudden changes of direction and do them more slowlier, I think one would enjoy the sceneries a lot better. This is just my personal opinion. Otherwise, I like your videos a lot, and I like the way you express your philosophical thoughts.
