More about: Skyros island
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 attracting less tourists than its neighbours.
But I found lovely villages, some beaches, impressive landscapes and astonishing views. I also learned that the island is the habitat of the endangered specie of a wild pony (the Skyrian pony) but I didn?t had the chance to see one. Maybe next time if I?m lucky.
