The Sporades island of Skopelos, in the central Aegean, which is considered a well-known holiday destination that even served as the backdrop for the musical “Mama Mia”, was recast as a… winter getaway this week after a massive snow storm hit the isle.
Windsurf boards were replaced by a snowboard when one young local resident used the main village’s hilly alleyways as snow trails.
Snow-covered beaches and frost were in the forecast, as schools and most services were interrupted.
