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 is dressed like a girl and they present a show with local gossip. Also other dressed people hold cowbells and run around the village making noise. It was fun. As you understand, apart from the Town and Molos village, I didn't see anything else on Skyros. It was winter and the wind was blowing strong the one of the three days we stayed there. Also, apart from the Town which was a bit lively, everything else seemed to be closed up. There were only a couple of taverns open and fortunately we stayed in a friend's house, otherwise I don't know if we would find any accommodation.
