How did a handful of escaped deer become some of Skopelos’ most elusive residents? 🦌
The story goes that a private individual once kept a number of deer on his farm. Eventually, some escaped into the wild, where they adapted to their new surroundings, reproduced and gradually established a population of their own.
Today, deer can be found across Skopelos, quietly roaming its dense forests and countryside. But don’t expect to encounter them easily. These elusive creatures are remarkably discreet, making a sighting a rather special experience.
If you’re lucky enough to spot one, admire it from a distance. Never attempt to feed or approach wild deer.
Just another little secret hidden among the pine forests of Skopelos.
