Skyros Reviews -General

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 villages in Cyclades but nature was very green and very isolate in some places. The white colour of Chora and the Castle ressembled a bit to other islands, but the beaches were better and far from touristic umbrellas, sunbeds and ski bananas.

Rent a motorbike to travel around Skyros because buses are awful. They were always at least half an hour off time and twice they didn't come at all!! A motorbike is much cheaper than a car and better for the narrow roads of Skyros.

Agios Fokas and Atsitsa was very clean and there are times when you can be the only person there. If you like organized beaches, go to Molos, this is the only organized resort on the island. Most hotels and rooms are in Molos. Note that the island lacks luxury hotels, you will most probably find a simple room to let.
