The sounds on Skopelos are richer than those encountered in every day life at home. The narrow streets create echoes and the large port reverberates sound throughout Skopelos Town and the surrounding areas. The resounding echoes carry everywhere, down each small street, into the cafes, where they mix with other sounds: TV shows heard through open windows, dogs barking, roaring motorcycles, kids playing games. The slow oppressive movement of the day interrupted by bright sparks of sound creep into even the highest reaches of the mountains around the port. Even in the silence, the sounds of cicadas and the movement of pedestrians though the street creates a backdrop of sound that is ever present here.
