The island with the Cycladic style

From a geographical point of view, Skyros is situated within the Sporades group of islands, but from an administrative point, it belongs to the nomenclature of Evia, an island 23 miles away. It is an island with an abundance of natural beauty - mountains, forests, wonderful beaches, and a traditional architectural style, which lends to the island a special colour and a unique identity.
The inhabitants of the island are warm, friendly, and hospitable, their work is on the farms and breeding cattle. Their simple life has helped them preserve the old traditions of the island and created a particular folkloric civilization through which can be distinguished several forms of ‘pop art’ in the form of their wood carvings, weaving and pottery.
According to a myth, it was on Skyros that Achilles took shelter in order to avoid the Trojan War. Today it can be your shelter for a quiet and relaxing vacation away from the crowds that deluge the cosmopolitan islands every year.
