A new chapter of communication opens for Skiathos, aiming to include within it the entire wealth, natural and spiritual, of the island. All this beauty, so that, concentrated for the first time, the visitor can take it with him to his special homeland, to communicate it to his friends, and, whether he wants to or not, to make them love Skiathos too. Because it is one thing describing what you lived and whom you got acquainted with, and another thing showing these things. I am not biased with the island; besides, I am not from Skiathos. My experience all these years as a simple visitor was -I dare say- epidermal. Walks through Papadiamanti street and the harbor, swimming at the beach, and maybe some clubbing. During the time period that I lived in Skiathos, I walked through it, I listened to it from end to end, and I saw and learned a lot. I will not dwell on its natural beauties -everyone will discover these, more or less, sometime. I will dwell on its people, young and old, who have been endowed with great adoration for their island by their background and the history of their land, which is also inevitably reflected to the guests. I got acquainted with many "tourists" who keep returning, just to see their friends, the inhabitants of Skiathos. This is one of the main reasons they return to the "boomerang island", as they call Skiathos. To all those citizen, who accepted me and Giannis Apostolidis, my fellow traveler in this effort, by embracing our venture, and who widely opened their doors to us, so that, with the information they provided, we have material for many more issues, as well as to the businessmen, who supported our first publication, I want to say a big "thank you", and to promise that our next issue will be even better. You are holding in your hands the magazine of Skiathos, not just "about Skiathos", as other magazines use to make tributes every summer. Your review will help us in the future, because this place has much to say, and much more to show, than what is written in the pages that follow. Enjoy reading it.

A dream came true! I want to say a first big thank you from my heart to my colleague, friend, and publisher, Sotiris Paraskevas, because our discussion in Volos, just one month ago, and our agreement on the publication of the magazine of Skiathos, took shape. It was an "audacious" idea given the short time period that we had at our disposal. We were not alone in this effort… The initiative and insight of certain people, as well as the open doors that we found by representatives of organizations, the local authorities, and simple people, were determinant factors for the magazine of Skiathos to become reality. I would like to focus for a while, and mention the saying "united we stand", and I will say the second big thank you to all the businessmen of the island, without the support of whom this publication would not have been possible. So, you are holding in your hands -and to your judgment- the first issue of DISCOVER SKIATHOS, a magazine, the topics of which are entirely devoted to our beloved island. Enjoy it, savor it, disseminate it… Life goes on in Skiathos, and the future of the magazine is interwoven with it, so let's proceed all together, hand by hand, with the upgrade of the island's Tourism Promotion.

Message from the Head of the Region of Thessaly Dear friends of the magazine, thank you for the opportunity given to me, to be part of the first issue of the magazine DISCOVER SKIATHOS. I would like to mention that tourism has its own great contribution to the creation of an effective, modern and appealing model of development for our land. A model that needs speed to function, effectiveness and above all intrepidity. The islands of the Region and the Region itself provide growth to our country. Growth by which there is a noticeable increase of employment, more income, resulting a breath of life to our country. The island of Skiathos as a destination of unique and natural beauty promoting significantly the Region's touristic growth, may for the next years promote a modern and appealing touristic model in the frame of the new strategies followed by The Region of Thessaly. With these simple thoughts I would like to wish every success to the new issue of the magazine DISCOVER SKIATHOS, in a way that all our efforts and attempts combine to contribute to a better touristic growth and future for the North Sporades and the island of Skiathos. Konstantinos Agorastos

Loyal to their appointment, the Hollywood couple Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn came once again to their favorite island. The two actors have been visiting Skiathos during the summer for a whole decade and they stay in a villa in Achladies. Their favorite destinations are all the beaches of Skiathos, which they visit with their inflatable speedboat, as well as all the restaurants, since they are Greek and Mediterranean cuisine lovers (and Kurt also attends cooking lessons). The two "ambassadors" of the island have only good things to say in America about the hospitality and the love of the inhabitants of Skiathos, and of course the latter return the favor whenever they meet them. Goldie Hawn wrote on twitter … "it is more important to be loved than to be right. With much love from Greece".

Every year the island of Papadiamantis and its beautiful beaches become a shelter for the very busy… rich and famous. The list of the famous people who have visited the island is long. Some of them stay at luxurious hotels, while others rent villas, and some see Skiathos from their opulent yachts. Like “common mortals”, they play tennis and volleyball, they ride horses, they take cooking lessons, and, of course, they do not omit to walk in the town with escort or not, returning the compliments of the inhabitants and the visitors who recognize them. In any case, they all say the same phrase when they leave: We'll come back!

The Sheikh of Qatar One of the 10 largest yachts in the world, "Al Mirqab", the 133 meters long vessel, worth 300 million dollars, arrives to Skiathos for the second consecutive year, conveying its owner, the Sheikh of Qatar, Mr. "Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber al Thani". "This is the first time that I stay at a location for five days during my vacations", he said during a discussion, expressing his interest in the island. The lush landscape, the peace of the "Maratha" beach, and the hospitality of SKIATHOS PALACE contributed for the Sheikh to enjoy his vacation with his family (his two wives and 3 of his 15 children) and his friends.

The town of Skiathos is amphitheatrically built around a small bay, which is divided in two parts by the small, full of pine trees, peninsula of Bourtzi, to the left and right of which the old and the new harbor respectively are located. Papadiamanti street is the main road. Almost the entire commercial activity is concentrated here, as well as to the alleys to its right and left. Lower on the street you will find a sign "House - Museum of Alexandros Papadiamantis". Visiting the place where the great prose writer lived and died is always a pilgrimage. At Bourtzi, you can go for a romantic walk, and see the cultural center and the open air theatre. In the morning, boats for daily sea trips launch from the old harbor, while at night the atmosphere is cosmopolitan, with people walking on the waterfront or sitting in one of the restaurants, cafes, bars, or the famous "bolsters", and you will be lucky if you find one for you.

You can visit the metropolitan church of Tris Ierarches (Three Hierarchs) (1864) and worship the icon of Virgin Mary the Iconistria (of the icons), while at a small distance the churches of Agia Triada and Virgin Mary Limnaia (of the lake) with the impressive stone bell tower are located. It is a unique experience to walk through the cobbled roads between Papadiamanti street and the old harbor, next to musky yards, which sometimes end up to small squares, and other times where you started off(!), while all kinds of small shops, stores, taverns or bars turn up at every corner. From the beginning of the new harbor, an uphill cobbled road leads us to the church of Saint Nicolas on the hill, which offers a panoramic view to the town. While walking in the new harbor, you will see the opulent yachts and sailing boats. It is also worth walking up to "tarsanas" where ships get repaired, and up to the lake, a significant wetland for migratory birds. The airport is located to your left (you can enjoy the unique landings, as the airplanes are descending almost over your heads!), while the road, which is in front of the runway, leads to Xanemos beach.

with European capitals. Right now, expansion projects of the runway and the track are taking place, so that more airplanes can be accepted at the same time, including private planes, because many people visit the island by their own planes. At the same time, there is a project for the development of the port, so that it can be accessed by cruise ships. Finally, another significant project is the construction of a marina, which will be able to serve more than 200 yachts. What other plans do you have? To create a team for the tourism promotion of the island, so that all bodies together can perform coordinated actions that are certain to have a better performance than the individual actions of businessmen. How is Skiathos when the tourist season ends? The rhythms of life become normal from October to April. However, there are several city hotels and catering businesses that remain open throughout the year. I asked him what kind of person Dimitrios Prevezanos is... .."A man with a vision" he answers without second thought. "I have always been and I will always be one. I want to provide solutions to chronic issues, and I will work for the welfare of Skiathos, and only for this; besides, I refused to accept the salary of the mayor". What is your opinion about our magazine? It is a very good move, which, I think, will enjoy good acceptance both by visitors and the residents of Skiathos. Besides, the island needs printed communication, and the Municipality of Skiathos will provide help in this effort.

NIKOS PLOMARITIS The outgoing Mayor of Skiathos is a kind, simple, pleasant man, with a sense of humor, features that made and make him likeable to the inhabitants of the island. He has been the leader of the Municipality of Skiathos for 11 years, serving the local community. During the last elections, he decided to offer his services, this time as a Regional Consultant of Thessaly, and he was elected as the sole representative of North Sporades. Making a quick account of your municipal commission, would you say that you are satisfied with the work you produced? During the last 11 years that I am the Mayor of Skiathos, significant works have been realized with the support of the Region of Thessaly, and with the help of the consultants, the inhabitants,

the organizations and the businessmen of the island. Works that have to do with infrastructures, such as works at the airport, the old and the new harbor, restoration of the Medieval town of Skiathos, reconstructions of communal spaces, restorations of historical buildings, improvements of roads etc, as well as with the completion of studies for projects, the implementation of which will be undertaken by the new municipal authority. At the same time, significant moves for the tourism promotion of Skiathos took place in collaboration with other organizations. Do you believe that the inhabitants have neglected the productive sector for the sake of Tourism? What you are saying is true. Agriculture, animal breeding, fishing, and the other forms of production of wealth of the primary sector don't exist now to the degree they used to. I believe that part of the population should move towards this direction. You are the only representative of Northern Sporades at the Region of Thessaly. Do you consider this to be a great responsibility? Financing has been scheduled for the beautiful islands of Northern Sporades, Alonnisos, Skiathos, and Skopelos, and, from my new position as Commissioner Regional Consultant of Sporades, I will act appropriately so that the projects are realized as soon as possible. Besides, this was the main reason that I chose to become a representative of the Region, and to closely monitor the progress, the programs etc. from this position. I want to be the liaison of communication of the three islands of Northern Sporades, and to contribute to their development in the tourism sector, as well as to the improvement of the quality of life. How do you deal with the difficulties of life as a character? Every captain comes up against both good weather and storms along the course…, but they continue traveling and overcoming all obstacles. Closing up, I would like to ask you what your opinion is about our initiative to publish a magazine about Skiathos, like "DISCOVER SKIATHOS". It is a new window for the briefing of civilians, something that was missing from the island. I believe that our cultural heritage, both historical and religious, will be highlighted through this. It is also very important for someone to have the natural beauty of our island "printed" in their hands, and not to be delimited in descriptions. I believe that by this initiative, you will contribute to the tourism promotion of Skiathos, and I congratulate you.

A WALK OF ACQUAINTANCE First of all, an identifying “stroll”... After you go up and down Papadiamanti Street for 23 times, for shopping and a relaxing cup of coffee, move towards the old harbor and Bourtzi, where, particularly at night time, their romanticism may captivate you. Resist for a while in order to walk along the new harbor, and if you are in the mood, to get to the old mill. Returning, cross the town through its alleys, which are full of surprises!

THE HOUSE OF PAPADIAMANTIS This is the house where the great Greek writer lived for a big part of his life, and which was built in 1860 by his father, the priest of the island, Adamantios Papadiamantis. It is located on a small square, just 100 meters away from the harbor, going upwards at Papadiamanti street, to your right, and it is a representative sample of the popular architecture of Skiathos, with two floors, stone walls, and wooden roof with tiles. The first floor consists of three rooms. Alexandros' room was exactly like a monastery cell with a window, a closet recessed in the wall, and his narrow bed. The personal objects of the writer, his psalter, his ink pot, his pen holder, his pen, and some manuscripts are kept in a small wooden show case. The ground floor was used as storehouse and cellar. Today, it functions as an exhibition room of old and new publications of Papadiamantis. The house was characterized by the Ministry of Culture as a historical protected monument. Business hours: 08:30-13:30, except of Mondays, Tel.: +302427023843. Head of Museum: Mrs. Athena Papageorgiou.

BOURTZI Bourtzi is the reference point for every visitor. It is located in front of the town of Skiathos, and is connected by a bridge, dividing the harbor in two parts, the old and the new. The small peninsula with the pine trees and the ruins of the old fortress, which was build in 1207 by the Venetian Gkyzi brothers, is impressive. The fortress was completely ruined in 1660 by the Venetian admiral F. Morozinis, and today only a few parts of its walls and some of the old canons are saved. In 1906 the elementary school of the island was built there by donation of Andreas Sygros. The neoclassical buildings of the school were renovated, and today operate as cultural center of the Municipality, with the summer theater in its yard, where the events of the island take place. At the edge of the peninsula there is a cafeteria. At the entrance of Bourtzi you will see the bust of Al. Papadiamantis, which has been there since 1925, while in 2004 the bust of Alexandros Moraitidis was also moved next to it. The monument of the Unknown Sailor of Skiathos is located exactly before the entrance to the peninsula since 2007.

THE CASTLE Visiting the medieval castle town of Skiathos at the NW edge of the island, is a trip in time, which can be easily combined with a small trekking route, since you will need to walk for a quarter of an hour from the moment you leave the car, unless you prefer to take the boat, which will leave you at the beach that is below. In the middle of the 14th century the inhabitants of Skiathos built their castle, which included 300 houses and 30 churches in order to avoid pirate attacks. The Castle remained the capital of the island for 450 years, until 1829, when the inhabitants of Skiathos returned to today's Chora upon the establishment of the Greek state, and built there the current town, the capital of the island. Today, there are only four churches, the gate, and part of the wall in the Castle. From the highest point of the rock, where the Greek flag waves, there is a panoramic view to the Aegean Sea and Castronisia (islands of the Castle), the two small islets located to the opposite.

THE "BEACONS" OF ORTHODOXY The religious feeling of the inhabitants of Skiathos is interrelated with their history, their culture, and their lives. Besides, this is also evidenced by the dozens of churches, chapels, and monasteries, which are scattered on the island. In the town, when night falls, the light from the bell towers of Tris Ierarches (Three Hierarchs), Virgin Mary "Limnia" (of the lake) and Agios Nikolaos, is the most powerful of all the lights of the town together, calling believers to visit the holy spaces of the churches.

08 EVANGELISTRIA MONASTERY "We deprecate sin, but never deprecate the sinner!" The monastery is located at a small distance outside the town of Skiathos into a lush landscape. It started being built in 1794, and was completed in 1806. It significantly helped morally and materially with the revolution of 1821. It was there, in 1807, that the first Greek Flag with the white Cross in the middle of a blue background was created. Among other things, rare icons, manuscripts, gospels of the 18th century, sacred vessels, and other valuable objects, a real holy treasure, are kept in the monastery. There are three museums: Museum of Sacred Relics, Museum of the Balkan Wars, and Folklore Museum. During all services the temple is chock full, particularly with young people, culminating during the Holy Week and Easter. In addition, thousands of pilgrims flock on August 15th, a custom that can be found only in some places in Greece. The Monastery of Evangelismos (Annunciation) is a sheltered harbor of mental peacefulness and exaltation in today's restless and anxious world, particularly of our youth. During the last years, a model vineyard has been created for the manufacture of the famous "Alypiakos wine", which was manufactured many years ago, and which was cited by Alexandros Papadiamantis. Today, the head of the monastery is Archimandrite Iosif Katsouras. At a small radius around the monastery dozens of small churches and chapels are dispersed.

MONASTERIES OF IKONISTRIA, AG. CHARALAMBOS, KECHRIA The Ikonistria Monastery is located at a distance of 8 km from the town, turning right at the area of Troulos, and passing through an endless pine tree forest. Virgin Mary "Kounistra" is the patron saint of the island. In 1670 the miraculous holy icon was found here by monk Simeon from Skiathos. According to folk tradition, the icon of Virgin Mary was found hanging from a pine tree and was moving. This is why it was named "Kounistra" (hanging and moving). The icon can be seen in the metropolitan church of Skiathos, and every year on November 21st a big festival is organized. The only "dweller" of the monastery, protector and guardian angel for the last 34 years is Mrs. Argyro, who serves it from her heart. At a small distance the small church of Agios Ioannis Kryfos (1726) with wonderful hagiographies is located. The monastery of Agios Charalambos is 2 km away from the monastery of Evangelistria. This is where Alexandros Moraitidis lived as a monk during the last years of his life, by the name Andronikos. The monastery of Kechria is located within an idyllic site at the northwestern side of the island, 8 km away from Chora. The monastery's catholic was built in 1540.

ENCHANTING SUNSETS No visit to Skiathos is completed unless you witness one of the most beautiful sunsets of Greece. The best place is the southwestern side of the island from Banana beach until Agia Eleni (the initiated know that they will see the most beautiful picture there). When music volume from beach bars is turned down, and beaches empty, then the rite begins, since the goldenyellow sun rays fall onto the landscape just before the sun is hidden by the picturesque mountainous mass of Pelion, which is exactly opposite to it.

There is an atmosphere of companionship, and most crafts offer snacks and soft drinks during the trip, some of them teach you how to fish, while Eleni Boat offers an Anti-Stress program! KALYPSO, MATA HARI, HARIS – KONSTANTINOS and dozens of other crafts get filled with people, so it would be good for you to make a reservation the night before for the next morning. If, on the other hand, you prefer a more private situation, you can rent a sailing boat, and share it with your company.

BIKING Mountain or town biking? The choice is yours. Distances on the island are short, so you can rent a bike for your movements, while, if you want to experience adventure, for the M.T.BIKE group the expression "I will make your life difficult as a bicycle" is the password for the tour to begin, by bike, trekking, or even trail running in routes at the heart of the nature of Skiathos.

The renowned beach of Skiathos doesn't need special introduction. It is also referred to as "Chrysi Ammos" (Golden Sand) on maps thanks to its particularly fine sand that appears to be golden in the sun. Deep blue, crystal clear waters and an exotic landscape, to which, the pine forest that reaches the sea, also contributes. The only, maybe, "negative" attribute is the crowd during peak summer season, but who can monopolize such a beautiful place? There are beach bars, such as the famous Kahlua, water sports, while in the area you will find several restaurants and taverns, and, of course, accommodations, with the classy Skiathos Palace overlooking the beach from a prominent position. For food, you can go to White View, Elia's and Kakos Lykos (The Big Bad Wolf). The small pier at the edge of the beach is the place where Mr. Diolettas's sea taxis itineraries start, which can take you anywhere you want.

LALARIA

SKIATHOS

It is located at the northeastern edge of the island, and it is one of the most beautiful beaches of Greece. The northern wind falls furiously on the steep white rocks, which rise imposingly over the sea, and creates, for millions of years now, the perfectly round, white pebbles, "lalaria", which cover the entire beach. The famous "Trypia Petra" stands as a guard at the edge of the beach. The landscape's wild beauty and the really crystal clear sea will really charm you. You can reach "Lalaria" only through the sea by boat from the port of Skiathos, daily-, and when the weather allows it. This is a unique experience that you shouldn't miss. The area is secluded, so it is good to have with you everything that you might need. Request: The millions of "lalaria" are visited by millions of visitors all these years. If everyone takes one as "souvenir", the beach will be stripped. You would certainly like to find the beach the way you left it during your next visit!

The only time that your privacy will be disturbed is when boats from Skiathos town to Lalaria pass, at a distance of 200m. In order to reach it, follow the route for the Monastery of Evangelistria, but don't turn anywhere until you reach the "Kalyvia" area, where you leave your vehicle and walk through a rough path.

"Tsougrias" island is a must in the preferences of visitors, and it is an uninhabited, virgin island with exotic beauty. It has two big beaches: Agios Floros to your left as you approach the island, and Lalarias to your right, which is the beach where excursion boats moor. In particular, the first beach will enchant you! It was named after the homonymous chapel that lies on a rock at its one side. There, Giorgos operates his food truck, where you can have something to eat. At Lalarias you will also see part of the wetland of the island, as well as the ruins of the oil press, a reference point of the rich olive oil production of Skiathos in the past.

Father Iosif (Joseph) The abbot of the monastery of Evangelistria. The monastery of Virgin Mary Evangelistria (of Annunciation) was founded more than 200 years ago, and receives daily a large crowd of believers. It is built according to the standards of the monasteries of the Mount Athos, and hosts three wonderful collections. The first Greek flag, which was designed in 1807, is located there. The Monastery's abbot welcomes us with a big smile. “I undertook all the obligations of the Monastery, and with the help and support of God, as well as of all our fellow citizens and of the believers, I will continue the work at Virgin Mary Evangelistria. I succeeded a great benefactor of the Monastery, father Angelos, and this makes me -I am glad to say this- and forces me to daily continue, in fear of God and full conscience of my actions, with the completion of the Monastery's renovation, as well as with its proper operation. We invite with feelings of love all tourists visiting the island of Skiathos for their vacations to find the minimum time to come and worship the Grace of our Virgin Mary, as well as to admire all the premises of the Monastery”.

People Athena Papageorgiou Director of the Papadiamantis Museum The "MUSEUM OF ALEXANDROS PAPADIAMANTIS", which is located at the center of the town, constitutes a historical preserved monument of high significance for Skiathos. Mrs. Athena Papageorgiou, the director of the Museum, with devotion, coherence, love, and respect manages to jealously guard and preserve Papadiamantis' house, by keeping the world monk's memory alive. She guides people in the premises, always with the same awe, like the first time, 30 years ago, when the Municipality gave her the keys. She is the "doorkeeper", not of the house, nor of the Museum, but of Papadiamantis' soul, and she manages to make visitors believe that he never left.

"Our role is to make a conducted tour from our heart, in order to have disseminated, when we leave, even a small portion of the space's spirituality. Foreign visitors acknowledge first of all a "photograph" of the past in the house, with the wooden floor and its objects, and then they learn about the historical element that accompanies it. There are many, of course, who come from their country "having done their homework" through the Internet or other printed materials, which they get from travel agents. For me it is not just a house; it is a space that emits spirituality, particularly when visitors start to withdraw, and its tranquility and peace are restored". Athena Papageorgiou welcomes on average about 30,000 visitors per year. Tireless, calm, and with the elegance that distinguishes her, she is there as a "deacon" in order to guide them and answer their questions about "Mr. Alexandros".

Stavros Tsimpliarakis - sculptor Stavros Tsimpliarakis, a self-taught sculptor and maker of ceramics, uses natural materials, he carves wood, pebbles, stone, as well as the soil of Skiathos, which he processes, and he makes his ceramics with ancient techniques. As he says himself "my hands work on their own, because there are no words that can describe the beauty of my island". A man who loves to offer, and has a softness for his art and children, volunteered to transfer his love for the art of ceramics to children of the elementary school, as well as to adults through the cultural workshop of Skiathos. His last project was the restoration of one of the historical fountains of Skiathos at the location of "Prii", where the extraordinary result of his work, as well as the adoration he has for his island, are shown.

Thomas Koukoulakis Chairman of Skiathos Hotels Association General Manager of Philian Hotels & Resorts New chairman in Skiathos Hotels Association. What does that mean? “A strong sense of commitment to all the hoteliers who trusted me, and also ambition to provide the Island we love a place among top touristic destinations worldwide”. How would you describe Skiathos's hotels, in general? “Skiathos has always been a destination addressed to all kinds of tourists. There are hotels with standard facilities and very low prices, and hotels that can fulfill the standards of the most demanding guests. What is more, there are family hotels, youth hotels, as well as 'adults only' hotels for more calm and quiet holidays. It is of utmost importance to note that the majority of hotels in Skiathos, managed to maintain low prices, so that what we call 'value for money holiday' has been kept to a very high standard”. Are you satisfied with the tourist motion in Skiathos as well as the fullness of hotel units, at the beginning of summer season? “Fullness in most Skiathos's Hotels is in very high levels. In some of them there is a very satisfying increase compared to previous years. This doesn't mean that there is no space for improvement. While guests arrive from all over the world, Greek market is still a big challenge for all of us”. What are the future plans of Skiathos Hotels Association in the direction of creating a strong brand name which will highlight Skiathos Island place in tourist market worldwide? “Skiathos Hotels Association aims in creating and developing an organization of Tourism Promotion. In the process of creating such an organization, I believe all Skiathos's communities should participate, in order to attract even more tourists. Last, but not least, I must add that we are in constant communication with Skiathos's Mayor, aiming to discuss and promote all tourism aspects of the island, toattract new markets, as well as to put Skiathos Island among the destinations of low budget airlines”.

Photographers of the rare nature of Skiathos and island lovers Chrissy and Andy have been visiting Skiathos for 8 years and are from the UK. They first visited for a week as a last minute break and fell in love with the island and its people. They have returned on a regular basis ever since. However, both of them agree that there are many things about Skiathos that they love. The beautiful mountains, the rich diversity of the beaches and the different moods of the sea all contribute towards the natural beauty of the island which has become a bi-annual inspiration for their photography. They consider it to be a target rich environment which, coupled with the legendary Mediterranean light enables them to capture scenes and wildlife that are unique. Quite apart from the photography, there are, of course, the relationships that have developed over this period that draws them back time after time.

Ôour Guide - Photographer - Writer Victoria is Swedish. She got acquainted with Greece when she was a student of Ancient History and Religion. She came for a while and… she stayed! "During the summer, I work as a guide, and I try to transmit to visitors elements from the history of the land, folklore and life here. People are interested in many and different things, and Skiathos is an island that has "something" for everyone. The monastery of Evangelistria, the wonderful nature, and trekking, cooking… Visitors are moved by the hospitality of the Greeks, they feel safe and welcome, and this is why they come back. It is not a coincidence that they characterize Skiathos as a "boomerang island"…, and there is also a boomerang club, where tourists, who return every summer, meet and share thoughts and memories".

“I started keen on photography from my Father, who gave me my first film camera, before the digital era, when taking pictures you had to think about the cost of the development of the film, it was the best way to learn to have the perfect pictures in a few takes. My favourite theme is Nature; it's an endless source of subject. I don't like digital alternation in photography. If you use a digital program don't overdo it, if you have to alter a photograph too much it means it was not a good one in the first place. A good photography is when you can make someone notice what you see”.

Nikos Nikolaou Chairman of the Restaurant Association of Skiathos Nikos has a beautiful tavern in Kanapitsa, continuing the successful course of his father, who operated it until 1962. "We, restaurateurs, have invested a lot, each of us separately, to our businesses, also supporting at the same time the local market, since local products and our suppliers are first in our agenda. Despite the high operation costs, prices are much lower in relation to other tourist destinations. I want to stress that Skiathos is not a tourist destination just for young people, as it is believed, but the island is selected by visitors of every age, and this makes it unique. We are planning on developing a strategy for the expansion of the tourist season".

Alexandros Efstathiou He started in Skiathos in 1990 as a branch manager of Plotin Greece."A real school for inbound tourism "as he describes. Since 1996 he directes the “Dolphin of Skiathos” and “Hellenic Island Services” bringing thousands of foreign visitors to the island. "All these years I am trying with hard work to contribute to the tourist development of Skiathos and the emergence of Skiathos as the first destination for the Europeans. Skiathos is unique and cherished, and it is no coincidence the large percentage of repeat visitors. The biggest amount of tourism are British (55%) followed by the Scandinavians(25%) and the number is supplementd with Italians, Serbians, Austrians, Romanians, Polish, German, Czechs, Cyprus etc. Nevertheless, the share of Skiathos from the upward trends in incoming tourism in Greece is small, because of the limit number of beds and lack of All Inclusive accomodations. However, our quest is the steady upward route without altering the specificity of the destination. We want the visitor to discover the life on the island,enhancing the economy of the small enterprises and not to be caged in the properties. Our interest is to open new markets in addition to those above, is given, always with the balanced development between the markets”. Alekos Efstathiou beyond the business pursuits offer to the local community through sporting venue, as president of the football club of the island, trying to keep aided by other businessmen continued momentum of its rout.

Argyro Fyltsanidou "Mrs. Argyro" of the Monastery of Kounistra The Monastery of Virgin Mary Ikonistra is the holiest place of the island, since there, around 1650, the miraculous icon of Virgin Mary was found. Mrs. Argyro has been the protector and guardian angel of the monastery for 34 years now, which she serves from her heart. She cleans it, takes care of it, paints it, and does all the small works, so that it is ready to welcome the believers who visit it. She shows no discomfort at all, as she does all this out of love for Virgin Mary. There are many difficulties, some of them being the lack of water and electricity, but she doesn't give up, because "I came to serve Virgin Mary and the monastery with love, and this is what I will do until the end of my life". She has witnessed many people, who had health problems, but were cured after visiting the monastery. When you go there, you will see her sitting in the paved yard, and praying, and as soon as she sees you, she will get up and welcome you with a smile on her lips.

He studied hagiography and scenography, but his predisposition for adventure guided him to the Greek islands, and he arrived in Skiathos, where he set up his gallery 40 years ago. The gallery is located behind the church of Treis Ierarches (Three Hierarchs), and hosts in its three levels a magical world, with folklore objects, artworks, and, of course, his paintings, in which Greek mythology, impregnated with an adequate dose of surrealism dominates. During the winter, he lives in Amsterdam.

FROM THE -FUNNY- THEORY OF THE USE OF FEATHERS FROM A "COCK-TAIL" AS A TOOL FOR STIRRING DRINKS, UNTIL THE PUBLICATION (1862) OF THE LEGENDARY

THE BARTENDERS OF THE ISLAND CREATE FOR YOU!

"BARTENDER'S GUIDE OR HOW TO MIX DRINKS", THE FIRST BOOK ABOUT COCKTAILS, THERE WERE MANY LEGENDS REGARDING "STIRRED" DRINKS. NOWADAYS THE WORD IS USED FOR THE DESCRIPTION OF A CATEGORY OF ALCOHOLIC DRINKS WITH MANY INGREDIENTS, WHICH IS DISTINGUISHED FROM THE OTHER DRINKS OF THE CATALOGUE. IT IS CERTAIN THAT THE RIGHT SELECTION OF INGREDIENTS, THE PROPER DOSAGE, THE APPROPRIATE GLASS, AND MAINLY THE BARTENDER'S HAND -AND IMAGINATIONARE WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE.

nor do they shake hands when they meet. The procession of the Epitaph begins at 04:00 in the morning, and the litany passes through all the cobbled paths of the city, while a crier loudly recites psalms. The dawn of Holy Saturday finds the faithful people returning home. After a few hours, they will return to the church for the Liturgy of the First Resurrection. Bells will ring joyfully in order to spread to the entire island the victory of life over death. From midday onwards, all people are devoted to the preparations of the sumptuous meal of Easter Sunday, and make all kinds of delicacies! This is a ritual that is unique in Greece, and you will be lucky if you attend it!

122 DISCOVERSKIATHOS

A glance at History Archaeological findings witness that Skiathos was inhabited since prehistoric years. It enjoyed significant economic prosperity during the 4th century B.C. At the beginning of the 2nd century B.C., the island was destroyed by Phillip V of Macedon, and in 146 B.C. it was occupied by the Romans. From 1204 to 1276, Skiathos was occupied by the Venetians. A period of Byzantine occupation (1276-1453), and a second period of Venetian occupation (1453-1538) followed. In the middle of the 14th century, when the island was plagued by pirates, the inhabitants of Skiathos abandoned the ancient town and built their Castle at a naturally fortified position. In 1538, Skiathos was subjugated to the Turks. During the Greek Revolution of 1821, the inhabitants fought the Turks with bravery and valence. The creation of the first official Greek Flag in September 1807 at the Monastery of Evangelistria in Skiathos is an event of great historical significance. Skiathos took this name because it is located at the shadow of the Mount Athos (Skia "shadow"- Athos) as it is said by the elders.

His only inheritance from his poor family was four sisters and two brothers the firstborn of whom died during early childhood. Being anxious about Education, even though he doesn't have the means to proceed, he finishes school with difficulty, and immediately afterwards he leaves for the Mount Athos, from where he returns, however, a few months later, as he doesn't consider himself worthy for the

He learns English and French by himself, and makes a living out of private lessons and publishing texts and translations in newspapers. Solitary and humble, Papadiamantis had formed an Orthodox faith to God within him, a Christian morality and a spiritual perception about life with the Christ, and disdained human vices and weaknesses, avarice and ambitions. His only photograph that is saved, and which he allowed his friend Pavlos Nirvanas to take, is the revelation of his soul and the interpretation of his whole personality, which, as he narrates himself, was "a sacrifice he had made for my friendship", because "he wouldn't, in any way, allow himself such a pagan futility". He was mostly occupied with novels, where he imprinted the customs and the traditions of his homeland with folk naivety, as well as the rich teachings of Christian life. His novels are descriptive, naturalistic, with intense coloring in the means of expression, and with an idyllic atmosphere. However, there is also an acute

There are frequent references to the natural environment and the beauties of Skiathos, while his heroes are simple, everyday people with their weaknesses, their good and bad moments, who suffer and remain silent resignedly, hoping for a better future. The World Monk of Greek literature had his entire island as a "cell". Through his novels, his fairytales, Skiathos appears as a land of experience of the most solid and powerful tradition of the Greek, or rather Roman, lifestyle, as a land of salvation.

Even though he didn't have the pleasure to see any of his works printed in a book as long as he lived, today, almost a century after his death, Papadiamantis is internationally recognized as the top Greek litterateur, and his works are taught at schools and universities, while he continues to move with the splendor of his writing. He had an introvert and closed character, and just a few friends. He enjoyed loneliness and seclusion, however he was also passionate. On March 1908, he leaves Athens, and returns to his favorite island. However, his health deteriorates, and on January 3rd 1911 he passes away, bequeathing to us at the same time a literary treasure consisting of 180 novels, poems, studies, and articles.

For the achievement of our aims we succeded the collaboration with the Authorities, the Associations and the volunteers. Some of our actions is that we succeeded in having the southern part of the cemetery of Skiathos declared an official 'Historic Site' by the Ministry of Culture, the preparation of maintenance studies of the Monastery of Eikonistria, the restoration of the springs "Profitis Ilias" and 'Prii' and the annual 'Clean up Week for the beaches.

The restoration of the springs of 'Profitis Ilias' and 'Prii' by the Culture Association 'Skiathos' The "Profitis Ilias" spring (restored in 2013) was constructed in 1904 and has been a reference and meeting point for Skiathos people for many decades. The spring, made of white marble, is unique in Skiathos, for it's art and size. The "Prii" spring (restored in 2014) is on the historical path of Skiathos, which connected the medieval castle-state "Kastro" of Skiathos with the current port, it was built at the Postbyzantine times and rebuild at 1936. The aim of the Association is to continue the restoration work of all the springs of our island. They are an important part of our cultural heritage and we believe it is our duty to protect them and pass them on in tact, to future generations. DISCOVERSKIATHOS

"Prasini Alepou" (Green Fox) was founded in January 2011, by initiative of the International Women's Association of Skiathos regarding Recycling, aiming at raising awareness about the environment in general, and an authority about recycling. Having began with voluntary work and a very limited budget, "Prasini Alepou" has managed to collect, press, and send for recycling over 120 tons of plastic bottles PET and 2 tons of aluminum cans so far. "Prasini Alepou" recently moved to a bigger space at the area of Xanemos, and is also able to collect paper.

are providing a solution to the significant problem of stray dogs. The shelter has been operating since 1995, and it is nowadays located near the monastery of Virgin Mary Eikonistria (of the Icons). If you come to Skiathos for vacations, you can visit it, and take one of the dogs for a walk between 9am - 1pm. If a closer bond is created between you, you can adopt the stray dog. É. Ä.

The manufacture and repair of ships was the main occupation of the inhabitants of Skiathos.

Captain Giannis Parissis, President of the Association of Retired Sailors of Skiathos, helped us, with his narration, to make this tribute to the life on Skiathos of the past. The inhabitants of Skiathos have always been sailors and they had a large fleet of ships. In 1887, they had more than 110 ships, and they kept increasing until 1930, when the sailors gradually abandoned the profession. There were shipyards on Skiathos, where ship repairs from all over Greece took place. Captain Giannis remembers Papadiamanti Street, the most commercial street of the town, as a dirty brook that inhabitants crossed through four bridges. The houses were beautiful, low, and had two

The inhabitants were poor; some worked in the fields, others cultivated olives and vines -the production was very significant at the time-, and most of them worked as sailors, and these were the ones who brought money to the island. Their way to amuse themselves was to gather in groups after work, discuss and sing. In the old harbor, there were coffeehouses, a tavern, a confectionary, and a cinema, where most entertainment outlets are located now… Mrs. Syraino Kaliarou was a historical figure, who, during the war, was the first woman who actively participated in the fight against the conquerors, helping along with others,

Sedimentation works created a new coastal front, by "transposing" the houses some dozens of meters backwards, thus altering the picture of "Little Venice", as they used to call it. The area from the elementary school to the old mill was full of small shipyards, which were called "careenages". There, technicians worked with wood in order to make beautiful ships. When they were finished, the priest blessed them, and they were thrown to the sea, many times with the captain! Tourism began in Skiathos around 1955, mostly with Greeks from the adjacent areas.

The inhabitants of Skiathos were always loyal to their customs. The weddings were performed at the houses; the priest used to go there to celebrate the mystery, while the groom and the bride, after the ceremony, walked around the entire village, and the orchestra followed. The feast of Panagia Konistra (Virgin Mary of Konistra) on 21/11 was and still is the supreme religious events for the inhabitants of Skiathos. Their school, built in 1904, was at Bourtzi. To reach it, they had to pass through a narrow strip of land, which was covered when there was rough sea! Each student had to

In 1790, 50 families from "Limni" of Evia settled on Skiathos, and established their own district, "The limnia", with the homonymous church of Virgin Mary. The area and Virgin Mary are still being called "Limnia" nowadays. The monument of the sailor, which is located at Bourtzi's entrance, was made with actions of the Association of Retired Sailors of Skiathos, to honor all those sailors who died in shipwrecks over the years, and were buried in the sea. Shortly, the sailors' Museum will be created, which, for the time being, it is housed in a small space at the end of the old harbor.
