Skyros is a small island where you can spend quiet vacation with your family and friends. We stayed at a beautiful hotel at the town port, but we got the chance to see some of the tiny villages driving around by motorbike.
For swimming, I recommend Atsitsa for the crystal waters, but if you... More >
We reached the port of Skyros by ferry from Alonissos and drove to Kalamista, a remote beach where our accommodation was. The long beach is beautiful, set against a backdrop of a barren mountainside and it is ideal for swimming and windsurfing. We explored the region on foot.
The amazing... More >
Skyros seems totally outside the modern world sometimes. I have seen old women baking in ovens with woods, old shepherds waiting for their sheep to eat, beaches with no visitors except for us, I have travelled from top to the south of Skyros in May and haven't met any other car, and still there was...

Arriving in Skyros, you meet the sweet village of Linaria. Linaria looks more like a village in Cyclades, full of bright white, small houses, all close to each other. From there, you can take a bus to Chora, the capital.
If you love animals and you are after something special, spend one day to... More >
It is a fortunate thing that Skyros has an airport, otherwise it would be a tiring trip from Athens. We wanted for long to go to Skyros, from the photos it seemed a great place to be and very relaxing. Yes, it was very nice and much different from the islands of Cyclades.
Chora was much alike... More >

I was in Skyros last February for the Greek Carnival. The locals organize big celebrations and dress up in traditional, strange costums. Also the tradition of the Old Man and the young Lady revives in the square of Skyros: a man wears beard and gets dressed in a traditional costume and another man... More >
Skyros is a remote island, much remoter than I thought. Nightlife is very poor and concentrates in a few bars in Chora. There are not many htings to do, just trekking and swimming. I prefered swimming, as trekking is too tiring for me :)) The only thing to see is the Castle in Chora. Chora is... More >

Skyros was generally nice and very scenic, but not for my taste. We stayed for a week there and missed the noise and parties of Mykonos. Things were pretty quiet in June and a few beach bars would stay open all night. However, the beaches were fine, my favourite was Atsitsa. If you have small kids,... More >

Skyros is a lovely and quiet island. I traveled this summer there on my own, just with the help of two guidebooks. I booked my room last minute and I was lucky I found one. Chora is beautiful with a wonderful view of the sea. The beach below can get crowded in August. There are also some other... More >
I went to Skyros last June. I had already been to the other Sporades (Alonissos, Skopelos and Skiathos) and I wanted to see what the most remote island of the group looked like.
It is true that Skyros is the less blessed of the group in terms of beaches and this maybe the reason why it is... More >
