For explorers here's a brief overview:

Skyros is an island whose history extends far into the mythological era where there are the first signs and instructions.
Theseus, Lykomidis, Axill and Neoptolemus are persons of mythology, which are inseparably connected with the history of the island.
The Neolithic period, the classical period, the Roman and subsequently the Ottoman domination to piratical invasions, all this has shaped the island, a living room with archaic roots, which still live in traditional customs and practices.
In the two museums on the island, Folklore and Archaeological Museum, there are many documents and monuments of this important past.

Skyros is the largest island of the Northern Sporades island complex and is characterized by a unique landscape feature. The northern part of the island is rich in dense pine forests and agricultural land in the south there is a pastoral landscape with dense shrub vegetation, in addition to goats and sheep also the unique skyrianischen Pony offers a refuge of rare beauty.

Probably the most picturesque part of the island is without doubt the Chora, the capital of the island, with its, an amphitheater and arranged houses, nestled on a 179m high cliff. On the top of the rock is the old castle, from where a unique view of the large blue Aegean Sea offers. Noteworthy is the design of the castle, as it is only accessible from one side, all the other 3 sides falling steeply towards the sea, and so provided a natural fortification against enemy attacks.

Next to the castle is the monastery of St. George, who is the patron saint of the island and from where, unique views for visitors offers.


Of all the beaches of the island offer some very distinct aesthetic beauty. On the north side there is the beach of Atsitsa, Agalipa, which is accessible only by boat, Agios Petros, Gyrismata and Pefkos. The south side is waiting for and Kolymbada with the long beach of Kalamitsa.
The crystal clear water, the clean and translucent sea bottom in connection with the beauty of the scenery entice the visitor to feel at one with the splendor of creation which spreads before him.

The perfect family house
We have stayed in several different houses and apartments in Skyros during the years and this house is definitly our favourite. Suitable for one big, or two smaller families, it got all the necesseties and more. For example three (3!) outdoor spaces. Its location almost at the top gives a beautiful view over both the sea, village and the valley. But you must be prepared for walking both uphill and down. The rooms are both in traditional Skyrian style and with modern comfort. We love this place and recomend it sincerly.

Maison très traditionnelle
Maison très traditionnelle, hors du temps. Assez confortable (cuisine équipée, machine à laver), mais un peu sombre. Prévoir de monter des marches (mais c'est le charme de cette île, un peu rude). Accès facile au village, le soir, quand tout le monde est dehors. Vue magnifique de la chambre du haut. Prévoir donc de séjourner dans une maison typique d'une autre époque!

Ein Schmuckstück
Wir haben während unseres Urlaubs auf Skyros in Kostas’ Haus direkt unter dem Kastro wohnen dürfen. Nicht nur die grandiose Aussicht von den Balkonen und die gemütliche Terrasse, sondern auch die traditionelle Einrichtung machen das Haus zu einem charmanten Schmuckstück, in das wir uns sofort verliebt haben.

Wunderbare Tage auf Skyros
Wir durften im September 2015 10 Tage auf Skyros im Haus von Kostas verbringen, es war Griechenland wie wir es schätzen und mögen ! Kostas ist ein wunderbarer, herzlicher Gastgeber, das Haus unmittelbar unter der Burg und dem Kloster in Skyros Stadt hat ein unglaubliches Flair, tolle Ausblicke von den Balkonen und eine schattige Terasse zum Relaxen und Ausspannen. Die Insel bietet für jeden etwas, herrliche Wanderungen und tolle Strände, nicht so überlaufen wie inzwischen leider viele andere griechische Inseln. Es hat uns jedenfalls so gut gefallen, dass wir im kommenden Sommer wiederkommen werden !
