Skopelos Cheese Pie – The Taste of Tradition

The Skopelos cheese pie is perhaps the most iconic culinary symbol of Skopelos. It is not simply a cheese pie, but a traditional recipe filled with history, craftsmanship, and authentic island soul.

Its most distinctive feature is the handmade, paper-thin pastry, rolled out with patience and skill. Rather than being layered, the pastry is shaped into a spiral “snail” form and fried in olive oil, giving it a crispy exterior and a soft, warm filling inside.

The traditional filling is made with local goat cheese, which gives the pie its rich and slightly tangy flavor. Today, you can also find variations with wild greens, spinach, or even sweet versions.

Skopelos cheese pie is deeply connected to everyday island life — from family tables to festivals and celebrations. It is a dish that represents hospitality, the deliciousness of simplicity, and the strong bond between local people and their culinary heritage.

No visit to Skopelos is complete without tasting an authentic, freshly fried Skopelos cheese pie. It is a flavor that carries the true aroma of the island.
