Mercurius Cocktail Bar is the most popular hangout spot on the island of Skopelos.

This perch just above the waterfront is ideal for a leisurely breakfast or invigorating sunset drinks with a stunning view and a soundtrack of world music.

Taking its name from the church next door, this much-loved turquoise-trim veranda bar serves up music, fresh juices, Greek wines and carefully prepared cocktails (€9.50) amid bursts of bougainvillea and the works of local artists. Just above the south end of the main waterfront strip.

Where to drink: Mercurius, next to the Aghios Mercurios church
