Lie on white sand beaches during holidays in Skopelos

People looking for the perfect beach during their holiday in Skopelos should look no further than that of Milia, it has been claimed.

Travel industry representative Bernadette Askouni told the Guardian that the "beautiful, white-sand beach" was one of her favourite secluded spots in Greece.

Extending for nearly a kilometre, Milia is backed by pine trees and was perfect for romantic strolls, said Askouni.

"The sand in Milia is very fine and glimmers white, and the turquoise waters are incredibly calm," she told the news provider.

"In the high summer months there's a beach bar that serves chilled beers and cocktails at sunset, but Skopelos is a quiet island and the beach rarely gets crowded."

Holiday makers may also wish to visit Skopelos town, which according to VirtualTourist.com is "exceptionally beautiful".

People can expect to see white churches and monasteries featuring alongside traditional farmhouses, and acres of olive groves dominating the hillside, states the website.
