On the way you will pass the church of Agia Triada with some fine frescoes and the white monastery of Agios Georgios founded in 962 AD.
The Pano Piatsa or the Upper Square in the center of this serene, quaint town is the city center. The center has many inns and taverns offering beverages and delicacies, as well as bars and cafes. It is here, perched on a terrace overlooking the beach, you will find the
bronze 'Statue of Immortal Poetry' erected in 1931 to commemorate Rupert Brooke.
There is also the Church of Agios Athanasios built in the 17th century in the vicinity of the main Square. A further 10 minutes walk from the city center takes you to the Church of Agios Konstantinos and you can also climb up to the peak of hillock to enthrall yourself with the bewitching panoramic delights of the Mediterranean coastline.
Apart from the scenery of the lush nature around, the village is also famous for its taverns that offer tourists traditional, local recipes and also has ample ouzeries allowing tourists to quench their thirst any time they want to. Buses leave to this enchanting village from Skyros regularly. |
