MYTHOS

Skopelos is a Greek island in the western Aegean Sea. Skopelos is one of several islands which comprise the Northern Sporades isles.

According to the legend, Skopelos was founded by Staphylos, one of the sons of the god Dionysos and the princess Ariadne of Crete. In the Late Bronze Age the island, then known as Peparethos, was colonized by Cretans, who introduced viticulture to the island. Perhaps because of the legend of its founding by the son of the god of wine, the island was known throughout the ancient Greek cities of the Mediterranean Sea for its wine rich with plum flavor.

Today, Skopelos is known as the greenest island of the Aegean Sea, as well as “The Island of the Plums” and “The Plum Island of the Aegean”. Skoptelitan plums have been the source of the island's prosperity for decades. Eight varietals of black, red, and yellow plums are grown on Skopelos annually and are harvested from mid-June to Mid-September.
