Two main car categories are most enjoyable for driving when you hire a  car in Skopelos. For more experienced drivers, larger four-wheel drives and SUVs make the rough nature of the coastal roads easier, with safety features conducive to the changing road quality. On the other hand, if you are nervous about driving a big car through a tricky environment, an automatic compact or mini will get you to where you are going with less hassle. Smaller cars are easier to navigate on narrow roads, and the automatic transmission can be a welcome asset for going up and down hills. 

Keep your eyes open for speed limit signs which are well signposted in Skopelos. The general limits are 100 kph to 120 kph on highways, while more minor roads are 90 kph. When entering a residential area, the speed limit drops to 50 kph. It's best to drive slowly, especially if it's your first time driving on the island. Generally, local drivers don't often adhere to the speed limits, which can sometimes be unnerving.
