In the center of Skiathos, a few meters away from Paradiamantis’ pedestrian street, you will find a stunning and truly aesthetic dining spot that is both modern and cozy.

The "secret garden" has the most unique backyard on the island where you can enjoy authentic Italian meals and many Mediterranean flavors. Its excellent design and the large wood-fired oven, suitable for pizza’s preparation, will immediately get your attention. Their pizza is made with pure and high quality ingredients and its fine dough is based on the authentic Italian recipe. GIARDINO SEGRETO is something new and pleasantly unusual for Skiathos’ island. In its garden, besides its flavors, you can also enjoy a drink or try some summer cocktails. Already its visitors’ first impressions are excellent.

The beauty of Skiathos is extended everywhere, and in order to get to know it, you need to read about it page by page as if it were a novel

by Alexandros Papadiamantis. These pages have been imprinted in our magazine, but as there is always the "risk" that you will not have the time to see them all during your vacations, I will briefly explain why I consider Skiathos to be unique…

014 DISCOVER SKIATHOS

Because Nature gave to it a large dowry. An impressive coastal variety with 65 beaches; you will not know which one is worth to visit first. The southern ones are calm, with shallow crystal clear waters, which attract most people. At the northern ones, you think you are in the coasts of northern Africa, with the glance being filled by a deep blue-electric blue color, which is lost in the vastness of the Aegean. On the other hand, green reaches the sea, with the forests of Skiathos having been characterized as "Aesthetic". These include wetlands, lakes, and an organized network of paths, about 200 km long, to explore and to enjoy unique experiences.

Because there are no “cliches” here. An island, which is ideal for everyone, for those who come just for vacations, as well as for those who require high level tourist infrastructures. A nice and interesting "mixing" of situations and people of every social or financial class, who provide to it a unique vividness.

Because of its cosmopolitan air! Every summer Papadiamantis' island becomes the shelter for many rich and famous! You will see them taking a walk down the paved pedestrian areas, to swim and relax with a drink in their hand on and out of their luxurious yachts.

The list is really long…

Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, Kate Hudson, Sir Philip Green, Tommy Hilfiger, the Sheikh of Qatar and also famous artists of greek Showbiz.

Because it is accessible and easy. It is accessible by sea and air.

By ships and flying dolphins that launch from Volos, Thessaloniki, Agios Konstantinos and Mantoudi of Evoia, and by water taxis from across, from Pelion. By air connection with dense itineraries, from all the big cities of Europe. Easy in terms of transportation with a dense network of urban itineraries, with private cars and small boats. You can go everywhere quickly without discomfort and delays, something that allows you to see many things in just one day.

Because the works of people keep history alive. With impressive monuments, such as the medieval Castle, the ruined mills, the oil presses, the old huts and the shipyards, that carry within them a big part of the island's history. With hidden treasures, which are worth looking for, such as the old cobbled road that connected the Castle with the town, and was the unique communication road, with proposals for exploration, such as the beacon at Pyrgi and so many others…

Because of Savors. No matter what your preference is, in Skiathos you will find a great variation of both traditional and gourmet cuisine. Experts create for you tasty "masterpieces" in every corner of the island. Traditional taverns offer classic dishes of Skiathos, like octopus with "fava", fish soup (kakavia) that smells like sea and many more, all combined perfectly with a glass (or a couple more) of wine right from the vineyard of monastery of Evangelistria (called Alpiakos inos).

Because of its unique Easter. Inhabitants and visitors spend Passion Week with reverence and reflection, in the place where the Athonite Typical is strictly observed. On the morning of Holy Thursday, all the faithful people visit church, while immediately afterwards, women start coloring red eggs and kneading Easter bread (tsoureki) and buns. Children go from house to house carrying crosses adorned with flowers and they sing the Easter carols. On the Holy Friday, women and children, with baskets full of flowers, decorate the Epitaph. It is a day of mourning and the locals don't eat anything 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 loudly recites psalms. This is a ritual that is unique in Greece, and you will be lucky if you attend it!

Because night makes its magic! When the moon comes out, walk down the Papadiamantis street, full of interesting places and people, the new and old port, have a drink by the waterfront, with a view of worthy yachts and beautiful sailing boats, visit "maxilares" (the cushions) and of course have unforgettable fun at clubs and "greek" places (called "ellinadika"), until the following morning.

Because of hospitality. Skiathos' people are one of the main reasons to visit the island. They are active, communicative, friendly, cultured, excellent hosts and businessmen and always ready to welcome you with a great, big smile either you visit their hotel, store, restaurant, bar, or their house! They love their island and they treat its "treasures" and its visitors with the greatest respect.

For these, and many others, Skiathos has so many fanatic visitors, who return again and again, characterizing it fairly "the boomerang island"!

Welcome and have a nice time!

Skiathos' nobility is anticipated by the moment it welcomes you, while its cosmopolitan style can be immediately understood when you see the dozens of luxury recreational crafts and yachts that are lined up at the port.

The paved pedestrian areas, the white houses with their roof tiles, the bloomed gardens, the little graceful squares that pop up in front of you from a picturesque will impress you. The town of Skiathos has it all.

Beautiful cafes and restaurants, dozens of stores, interesting sights, cultural corners and a wild night life! The modern element is well combined with the tradition of the island, and the result… is just excellent! Chora (the town of Skiathos) is the only residential area of the island and it is both the cherry and the cake! Enjoy!

Orient tourself...

Chora is built amphitheatrically, around a small bay split in two by Bourtzi, the small peninsula full of pine trees, on left of which there is the old port and on the right, the new one, which is the harbor for the tourist ships. Every morning in the new and the old port you will find the boats that are used for daily sea trips. The extension of the new port leads to the location "Ammoudia". Continuing your walk you will reach the begging point of the airport area. In front of us we have now the city's labyrinth! There are three benchmarks, which help us to do not get lost. The first one is the Papadiamanti Street, which crosses the city up to the ring road.

The two others are the two characteristic hills with the bell towers of "Panagia Limnia" on the west and of "Ai Nikolas" on the east.

The flow of people going up and down this famous street that takes its name from the "saint" of Greek literature, will draw your attention and in a few minutes you will find yourself being a part of it.

The most romantic spot for a walk, the old port extends from the entrance of Bourtzi, passing in front of the monument of the "Unknown Skiathos Sailor", until Plakes neighborhood. On one side, it is full of coffeehouses, bars and restaurants. On the side of the sea, dozens of boats are waiting to take people to their all-day excursions each morning, while, in the evening, they are sitting back as their captains are booking seats for the following day. The cosmopolitan atmosphere is composed by people that come and go constantly and the uplifting music, which gets louder as we reach the "steps" (skalakia), where the famous "cushions" are. You can visit the church of the Three Hierarchs, which is the cathedral of Skiathos. The walk continues along the port towards the “fish market” area, with its original, atmospheric style, at the end of the old port. Just above, restaurants and taverns are "serving", along with delicious dishes, a wonderful view of the port.

THE PARENTAL HOME OF THE GREAT BUT ALSO HUMBLE "SAINT" OF GREEK LITERATURE IS A GREAT EVIDENCE OF HIS ASCETIC LIFE AND CONSTITUTES A HISTORICAL LISTED MONUMENT OF MAJOR IMPORTANCE THAT YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY VISIT.

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. It is located on a small square, just 80 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, 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.

The House-Museum welcomes 20,000 visitors every year. The Municipality of Skiathos and the Museum proceed with many events for the projection and the promotion of Papadiamantis' work, while they organize commemoration events and spiritual tributes for the great writer throughout the year. At the same time, the Museum has prepared a two-hour tribute for Alexandros Papadiamantis with words, sound and image, which has been presented in many cities in Greece and abroad, and it will continue to be presented wherever it is invited to participate.

Business hours: 09:30-13:30, & 17:30 - 20:00 expect for Mondays / Tel.: +302427023843. Head of Museum: Mrs. Athena Papageorgiou.

Bourtzi is the reference point for every visitor. A small piece of land in the sea, full of pines trees, with panoramic view to the old and the new port, ideal for one or more romantic walks at its perimeter, especially at night! At its entrance you will see the bust of Al. Papadiamantis and Al. Moraitidis and the monument of the Unknown Sailor of Skiathos. At Bourtzi there is the building of the Cultural Centre of Skiathos that used to be an elementary school and the summer theatre in its yard, where the events of the island take place. At the edge of the peninsula there is a cafe -restaurant named after Bourtzi which will complement your walk! The small peninsula with the pine trees and the ruins of the old fortress, which was build in 1207 by the Venetian Gizi 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 new port is the starting point of the main road of the island. On its upper side, there are the coffeehouses and the restaurants full of satisfied customers, as you will find out, and on its lower side, there are the luxurious private yachts and the excursion boats. There is also the taxi station, while, a bit further down the road, in front of the elementary school, there is the bus stop. Continuing your walk, you will stumble upon the location "Ammoudia" (that very few know by that name), where there are many taverns by the sea, the clubs of the area, the old windmill and you will reach the beginning point of the airport area. Next, there is the location of "Ai Giorgis", where there is the shipyard, where ships are fixed and the lake, an important wetland for migratory birds.

The Museum, was founded in 2015 and is housed in Bourtzi Cultural Centre. The exhibits tell the story of the old ship building tradition of the island's shipyards, which helped in the development of sailing until the 19th century, as well as its later conversion in steam navigation. The permanent exhibition comprises more than six hundred items. In the museum's exhibition, you can see an impressive collection of texts, photographs and marvellously built ship miniatures. It is designed to serve its main purpose of acquainting the general public with the incessant nautical tradition of the Aegean culture, from the time of the earliest documentary evidence for vessels in the Aegean.

If you really want to enjoy a unique walk, you will have to "disappear" in the cobbled roads, which are located between Papadiamantis Street and the old port. You will then, find yourself in a labyrinthine grid of spotless alleys, next to fragrant yards, which sometimes end at small squares, and other times lead you back where you started from (!), while all kinds of small shops, stores, taverns or bars appear at every turn.

We recommend you three "special" routes On first -and longest- route we follow the "Moraiti" street- while going upwards Papadiamanti Street, just before the high school, on your left hand- or otherwise the "Big Cobbled Road" as it is called by the locals. Walking through the tightly built, whitewashed, stone houses, you will pass by the church of the Holy Trinity (Agia Triada), and then by Virgin Mary of the lake (Panagia Limnia) (1837) with the impressive belfry, while next to it you will see the most beautiful ruins. It is the house of Mataronas, with a unique architecture, which was built I 1850 and has hosted many personalities, but unfortunately it was destroyed by a fire. If you continue following Moraitidi Street, you will find the Three Hierarchs and the old port. Very close to the church of the Three Hierarchs, you will see the Spiritual Center of the Holy Temples of Skiathos.

On the second route we are heading towards the area called "Plakes", as we go up the "steps" (skalakia) and we have the sea on our left hand. It is one of the most picturesque districts of the town and maybe a bit more authentic part of it.

The third one leads to the church of Ai Nikola, on top of the hill. You can choose to follow one of the cobbled streets going uphill, that starts on the right of Papadiamanti Street or from the new port. The panoramic view of the town lying ahead of you will reward your panting for sure!

The adventure uncovering the charm and beauty of the town starts here. We would say that this walk among the cobbled streets of Skiathos is a "cultural" walk and most certainly it is an unforgettable rite that will leave you with the best impressions and a realistic viewpoint of Skiathos.

It is Friday morning and the coastal road leading to the airport is unusually crowded. With video cameras in their hands and their eyes looking at the sky, tourists position themselves right at the front of the fence. It is the day when charter flights are in full swing...

You might have heard of Princess Juliana airport in Saint Martin and the impressive landing of the airplanes on it, while they are flying over Maho beach, something which makes it a tourist attraction and one of the most famous airports in the world. It is not the only one though: Skiathos airport is small in length and narrow, something which forces the airplanes approaching the airport from the sea to almost touch the heads of this attraction's fans. During takeoff, the gust of the exhausts is such that it can sweep you off your feet.

Nevertheless, there are so many "crazy ones" that defy the airport's warning signs, in order to feel their adrenaline levels rise!

This is a modern tradition of Skiathos that started 18 years ago by the award-winning “Rock 'n' Roll bar”, the best cocktail bar in Europe. It’s an experience you shouldn’t miss!

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 really long... Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, Kate Hudson, Sir Philip Green, Tommy Hilfiger, the Sheikh of Qatar and famous artists of greek Showbiz. 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.

Submarine KATSONIS did a lot of damage to enemy ships, during the World War II. On September 14th, in 1943, the submarine sank north of Skiathos, by a German ship. Along with it, its captain Vasilis Laskos and 31 members of the crew lost their lives in the water, 19 people were captured and three managed to escape by swimming. After 73 years, Katsonis was located at a depth of 170 meters. Every year a memorial service takes place at the monument that is located at the old harbor and a navy’s submarine circumnavigates close to the coast.

The Holy Temple of the Three Hierarchs (1846) is the metropolis of Skiathos and it is located at a distance of 50m above the old port. Almost all the holy relics from the Temples of the Castle are kept there. The miraculous icon of "Panagia Iconistria", patron saint of the island, is also there.

The holy temple of "Panagia Limnia" (1837) is located at the NW of Chora, on a hill and it is distinguished by its imposing bell tower, which is visible from every part of the town. The head of Alexandros Papadiamantis is kept there. At 1837, 50 families moved to Skiathos from the Lake of Evia and founded their own district with the name "Limnia" and their own church with the same name.

IT IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE BEST EXPERIENCES ON THE ISLAND, WHEN YOU WILL CHOOSE ONE OF THE BOATS THAT WAIT FOR YOU IN BOTH THE OLD AND THE NEW PORT FOR SOME AMAZING SEA EXCURSIONS. YOU WILL GO FOR A TOUR AROUND SKIATHOS, YOU WILL SWIM AT LALARIA’S ASTONISHING WATERS, YOU WILL FEEL LIKE EXPLORES AT THE ISLETS OF TSOUGKRIA AND ARKOS...

LET’S BOOK! While you walk at the port, in the evening, you will be able to see the captains and the crew members of all the excursion boats of Skiathos being on the alert. It is the time when the next day's bookings for the full day sea excursions are made. The boats are departing each morning, from 9.30 to 10.00, from the old as well as from the new port. It is a great way to explore Skiathos and its nearby places, in a sociable mood. During the high tourist season, they are very popular, so, it is recommended that you book a seat from the evening before.

AROUND THE ISLAND.

The boats start almost all together and when they will pass the cape of “Pounda” and Megalos Gialos beach, they will make their first stop to the magical beach of Lalaria. You will be awestruck as the excursion boat approaches the shore with the white, round pebbles and the hole in the rock (arch).

There is no human intervention at this beach and, therefore, you need to have the basic essentials with you. The excursion boats stop there for enough time so that you can enjoy your swim. Then, they will continue to other beaches of the island: Kastro, Aselinos, etc. and they will take you back in the evening. It is an opportunity to fill your camera with beautiful pictures from all over the island!

Follows Lalaria beach, dominated by an imposing rocky archway, and Loutraki, a fishing port, where a local innkeeper delivers us a delicious Greek lunch for our guests. Crystal clear, warm waters invite you to dive in from the yacht and swim to the sun kissed beaches. It is always thrilling to admire the dolphins in their choreographic dances in the open sea.

THE SOUTH SIDE OF SKIATHOS IS THE ONE THAT ENJOYS THE GREATER TOURIST DEVELOPMENT, AND THIS IS DUE TO THE NUMEROUS AND BEAUTIFUL BEACHES HOW TO GET THERE… There is only one road (14 Km), leading to the southern part of the island. It starts from the port, and, surrounding the town, it passes from above of almost every beach. The means of transport is up to you. You can take a car or a taxi, which leave from the new port, or if you want to be more romantic, you can catch one of the boats that leave from the old port and approach almost all the beaches. Also, you can use the public transport, which is very good and with frequent services. The bus terminus is located at the new port, in front of the elementary school. Most centrally, you shouldn't be anxious for missing your stop, because wherever you get off the bus, this is where you "should" be!

WE ARE GOING TO SEE… Beaches, of course!... and some beaches they are! We count 22 of them, almost all of them organized and surrounded be numerous accommodation options of every type, meeting all requirements, impressive starrated hotels, boutique hotels as well as nice family studios. The available services also include taverns, restaurants, shops with beach items, supermarkets, water sports, beach bars and more. In other words, you will have all the amenities you need, and, in the improbable case you are ever bored, while you are in one of the beaches, you have the opportunity to "hop" to the next one!

Beach bar "Agia Eleni Summer Beach"complements the pleasure. Shortly before you reach Koukounaries (bus stop No. 25), turn right to the asphalt road.

All around Skiathos, there are many islets, but only two of them stand out: Tsougrias and Arkos.

Tsougrias, a must among visitors, is an uninhabited, untouched island of exotic beauty. It has two large beaches: Agios Floros on your left hand, as you are approaching the islet, and Lalarias, on your right hand, which is the beach where the excursion boats anchor. Especially the former will charm you! It takes its name from the homonymous chapel, rising above a rock on one side of the beach. At the beach, there is Giorgos' canteen, where you can have a snack. In Lalarias, you can also see a part of the island's wetland, as well as the ruins of the oil mill, a reference point of Skiathos abundant oil production in the past.

The islet of Arkos, uninhabited, with beautiful beaches, crystal clear turquoise waters, seems to have sprung from a movie scene!

At its main beach, there is a tavern, where you can taste amazing Greek traditional recipes. The best spot, though, is two sand dunes starting from high up the hill and ending down in the crystal clear waters. It is a unique experience to...roll down the whole route!

VILLA CASSIOPEE SITUATED ON THE TOP OF A HILL, GAZING AT THE GREEN BLUE, PROMISES UNFORGETTABLE HOLIDAYS!

‘

It all started with a breathtaking view…

Well, actually, I guess it all started on the 30th of September 1995, in a small church of an Athenian suburb, when I got married to a Greek. Be aware, ladies, that sooner or later, a Greek, wherever he lives in the whole world, will buy something in his native country. My husband wasn't an exception!

22 years ago, he took me to Skiathos "just to have a look at something...". And I fell in love for the second time: a piece of Greek land, on the top of a hill, lost in the nature. Positive points: a breathtaking view to the sea and the hills, a 6000m² plot not overlooked by any other property, located on a island with an airport.

Muriel, the owner of the villa Negative points: it was just a piece of mountain, with steep and the manager slopes, no water, no electricity and a difficult access with a steep dirty road.

‘Villa Cassiopee is not just a We were young and naive, but so enthusiastic and full of energy: villa. It is also a team who works together the whole year through we owned a view in Greece! I guess that from the very first to prepare a perfect stay for all moment, we had a vision: the property as it is today. We didn't our guests, from their first conknow that, like Udysses's journey, it would take us almost 20 tact with us until the moment years to get there... All the persons who took part of the constructhey will leave the villa’. tion of the villa helped us to make our dream come true: a large house that can sleep up to 10 persons, built with local stone (its laying in a "wild way"), chestnut wood and old ceramic tiles, that would be discrete and respectful of the landscape, a building that would fit so well in the mountain that each level would have a direct access to the garden, a house that would absolutely not look brand new from the outside but would have all the modern comfort in the inside.

Today, we have domesticated this piece of mountain while keeping its unique beauty.

Villa Cassiopee is our family holiday home in Greece, where we spend unforgettable moments with our children and friends. Each year, we welcome enthusiastic guests who highly appreciate this "home away from home" feeling!

If you wish to learn more about our villa, I invite you to have a look at our website www.villacassiopee.com

THE LANDSCAPE CHANGES: UNTOUCHED, AUTHENTIC, PLAIN AND SIMPLE, NATURAL AND UNEXPLORED AS IF SPRINGING OUT OF PAPADIAMANTIS' BOOKS, CALLING OUT TO YOU IN ORDER TO MEET THE "OTHER" SKIATHOS, MODEST, HUMBLE AND YET SO BEAUTIFUL! HOW TO GET THERE...

Three main roads will lead us to the northern part of the island, while we also cross the mainland. The first one is the road we encounter 600m. from the town's exit (from the bus terminus) leading to the monastery of Evangelistria and then in the location of Kastro. The second one starts from the area of Vasilias, passes from Agios Antonios and is united with the first road a bit after Agios Konstantinos. The third one starts from Troulos and, after a little while, it bifurcates into the one going to Megalo Aselino beach (on the left) and the one going to Panagia Kounistra. In all of these routes, we will find many earthen bypaths, which either act like communicating vessels or end up in unexplored places, subsequently offering the opportunity for hiking.

ROUTE ONE

THE MONASTERY OF EVANGELISTRIA...

From the town centre, we continue in the direction of the crossroad leading to the airport, but we don't turn; we keep on going for another 200m. and then, we turn right, to a route which slopes steeply uphill but offers a wonderful view of the eastern part of the town and the port. At one point, the road bifurcates: on the right, it leads to the location of Kalyvia (from where we can go to the beaches of Megas Gialos and Lechouni or Nikotsara) and on the left, it leads to the monastery of Evangelistria. We keep on going left, until we find the crossroad which will take us, almost immediately, to the monastery, which we must absolutely visit. It is a place related with the history of Skiathos and it played an important role during the years of the Greek War of Independence. It is an imposing monastery, founded in 1794, and it is the only one operating on the island.

ROUTE TWO

INTO A BEAUTIFUL LABYRINTHE !...

We return on our track and we keep on going, passing through wonderful forests and orchards that make you forget you are on an island. We find Profitis Ilias, we rest under the shade of the old plane tree and we drink water from the fountain, which, since 1906, is a point of reference and a rendezvous for the people of Skiathos.

A bit further ahead, we reach a crossroad. The road going straight ahead will take us back to the southern part of the island, in the location of Vasilias, while two more roads start from the "junction". The one going uphill, on our right, will take us to the monastery of Agios Charalampos, while the one going downhill will take us to Kastro.

A bit further ahead, on our left, the trail leads to the monastery of Panagia Kechria (it is worth it to walk to the beach of Kechria through the creek with the strange forms of the reflecting tree trunks and the ruins of water and oil mills), while by going straight ahead we reach a small plateau, from where two roads start. We will first go right, after we quench our thirst at "Pryi" fountain, to see the medieval citadel, in "Kastro", to swim at its beautiful beach and then return in order to go to Kechria.

ROUTE THREE

LET’S GO TO KASTRO!...

The car goes smoothly up to a point where there is a paved, bendy road going steeply downhill, which we do not recommend if you are driving on two wheels. However, this road leads down to the parking. On the left, we go to the citadel and on the right, to the beach of Kastro (a bit further ahead there is "Lalaria", which can be reached only by boat). Kastro is where the old capital of the island was built. At first, you might doubt the reason for which you have come, but, afterwards, believe us that you will absolutely love walking among the picturesque chapels, the fortifications and the other "footprints" of the inhabitants that came here in the 14th century to escape pirate raids, and, going towards the peak of the northern rock, to admire the infinity of the Aegean Sea.

ROUTE FOUR

ON THE WAY TO KECHRIA...

We go back to the plateau. The trail on the left is not in a good condition and after a little while it bifurcates again: the road on the right leads us to Agios Sozon cape, where the bright white church of Agios Alexandros is, while the one straight ahead leads to Kechria beach. Before that, though, there is Agia Anastasa, a lovely place to rest and light a candle in the chapel. The pile of huge rocks in a circle, hidden among the oaks, is the base of an ancient beacon. A little bit before the end of the trail, the signs for Kechria guide us to the beautiful beach (you can only descend with a 4x4 vehicle). This area is where the old shipyards used to be, where the ships of the fleet of Skiathos were repaired. The nearby beach is "Lygaries" and, from this point onwards, the trail goes uphill and can lead us either back to the southern part or to the nearby beach of Mikros Aselinos. This was the most adventurous part of northern Skiathos. The rest of the route is much more easily accessible, from the crossroad to "Troulos".

ROUTE FIVE

NORTHERN TO TROULOS

The road which start from Troulos, will lead us either to the beautiful beach of Megalos Aselinos or to the monastery of Panagia Kounistra (near which there is the stray animals' shelter, a voluntary initiative, worthy of praise). Right after that, the road becomes a trail leading to Mikros Aselinos beach. A bit before Megalos Aselinos, the trail we will see on our left, leads to the stunning beaches of Agkistros, Elias, Mandraki, Kryfi Ammos.

The highest peak on the mainland is Karaflitzanaka (425m.). The green of nature spreads everywhere, with pines, plane trees, holm oaks, olive trees, kermes oaks and strawberry trees covering most of the land area. Walking in the woods, listening to the rippling of the small waterfalls and the chirping of birds, looking for the many healing herbs that thrive in this land, is rest for the eyes and peace for the soul. Many marked paths covering a distance of 200km. (!) offer a unique opportunity for walking...

If you are "bored" by the cosmopolitan lifestyle of the island, take up the challenge!

Visiting the medieval fortress "Kastro" is a "must" for everyone who comes to Skiathos! It is the most emblematic point on the island. Having the greatness of the Aegean sea at your feet and swimming at the beach that is exactly underneath the Castle, is a wonderful experience you shouldn't miss. You can also access the beach by boat.

Kechria is a tiny and beautiful beach, with crystal, blue waters, but the access there is difficult. No worries though, cause the tavern "Tarsanas" will recompense your effort!

The beaches on the northern part of the island have strong exotic elements, with crystal clear waters, exposed to the northern wind, with one or two food trucks or taverns to complete the atmospheric scenery.

Some of the beaches are relatively easily accessible, for others, you will need to walk a bit or a lot in order to reach them, except for the renowned "Lalaria", accessible only from the sea and weather permitting. The little boats touring the island pass from all of them and they also stop for swimming at Lalaria, Kastro and Megalos Aselinos.

By car, from the intersection of Troulos towards Aselinos, after 2.5 km, turn left at the dirt road. This is a wonderful beach, where there is also a tavern.

Mikros Aselinos is worth visiting both because it is a beautiful, isolated beach, and for the route in order to go there. Follow the same road as for Megalos Aselinos, but at the intersection, go right heading to the Monastery of Virgin Mary of the Icons (Panagia Iconistra), and then on the dirt road for about 3 km. In order to reach the beach, you will have to go down a steep, narrow path. You can also go there on foot from Megalos Aselinos (10 minutes of walking). There is a small tavern.

Follow the same road that you took for Lygaries (they are almost one next to the other). The beauty of the journey is unique, but if you prefer, you can also go there by boat. The waters, as they are exposed to the north wind, are crystal clear, while a meal at “Tarsanas” complements the nice excursion. It is also a good opportunity to visit the old monastery of Virgin Mary.

It is located exactly underneath the Castle, at the medieval city of Skiathos, which you can reach by car (although the paved road is steeply downhill towards the end). It is a wonderful experience that will combine a visit to one of the most significant sights of the island, and a cool dip into the crystal clear waters of the beach. You can also access it by boat.

Give our regards to Apostolis, who has the tavern there, and he has been watching over the area for years.

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.

Tip: We recommend that you "take" a photograph -as souvenir- and not a pebble (if you do not want to pay a fine ranging from 4001,000 Euros, due to the relative prohibition).

This is the untouched beach of Skiathos. It is very long, and it is divided in two parts by a rock mass. It is literally you and… the seagulls. 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. It is difficult, but it is worth the trouble!

THE CASTLE

Photo: Nikolaos I. Paschalis

THE MEDIEVAL TOWN OF THE CASTLE (KASTRO) IS LOCATED NORTH OF THE TOWN AND AT DISTANCE OF 10.3 KM FROM IT. YOU CAN COME HERE BY CAR, FOLLOWING THE ROUTE FOR THE MONASTERY OF VIRGIN MARY OF THE ANNUNCIATION (EVANGELISTRIA), BUT YOU CAN ALSO REACH IT BY THE BOATS THAT PERFORM ITINERARIES. In the middle of the 14th century, the inhabitants of Skiathos built their castle, which enclosed 400 houses and 20 churches, in order to avoid pirate invasions. The Castle remained the capital of the island for 500 years, until 1829, when the Greek state was established, and they returned to today's Chora, where they built the city, the capital of the island.

THE HISTORY OF THE CASTLE The Castle was founded around 1360. Due to piracy, the inhabitants of Skiathos abandoned the byzantine township, which was located where the town of Skiathos is today, and they built the settlement. As the fortress was inaccessible from the sea, and the entrance to it was only accessible through its movable wooden bridge, it ensured relative protection to the inhabitants. The Castle was more a natural stronghold than an artificial fortress. This is why it is surrounded by a weaker wall on the three sides looking over the sea, while on the side where it is united with the land more powerful walls, the gate with the murder-hole and a tower with cannon were built. In the castle, the houses were built stiflingly close to each other, small and dark.

The living conditions of the Castle's in habitants during the 500 years of its existence were fairly difficult.

Things got worse with the outbreak of piracy. On the other hand, the "protectors" from time to time, both the Venetians and the Turks, oppressed the inhabitants without providing even minimum security. Some Venetians were so repressive that the inhabitants became so indignant that they decided to surrender the Castle to Hayreddin Barbarossa, murdering the Venetian administrator. But neither with the Turks did things improve. They paid a high poll-tax annually, while participation in the Turkish fleet was compulsory.

In 1829, the inhabitants of Skiathos abandoned the castle and returned to the old byzantine township, today's town of Skiathos. Before leaving, they removed from the houses all the building materials that could be used again, and this is why the Castle was deserted abruptly. Nowadays, two temples survive, the temple of the Birth of the Christ and Saint Nicolas (Agios Nikolaos), two more have been renovated, those of Saint Basil (Agios Vasilios) and Saint Marina (Agia Marina), the Mosque of the Turkish Command Post, the tank of drinking water at the entrance, and the cistern of rainwater at Christos, the gate with the murder-hole, and walls around the perimeter of the Castle, while the embrasures at the north edge of the peninsula are in good shape.

During your visit, you can see the position where the movable wooden bridge stood, by which the Castle could be accessed from the land, the Gate and the murder-hole, from which they used to throw hot oil to prospective attackers, the Mosque, the cannon with which they responded the enemy ships' fire, the water tank, and the temple of the Birth of the Christ (17th century), which was the main temple of the medieval fortress.

The allied forces used the Castle as a starting point for their military operations during the B' World War. The "Lambros Katsonis" submarine sank in the sea region of the Castle in 1943.

ICONISTRIA MONASTERY The Iconistria Monastery is located at a distance of 13 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 1650 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 38 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.

SKIATHOS… A LAND OF TRADITION! THE ISLAND MAY BE FAMOUS FOR A COSMOPOLITAN ATMOSPHERE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT IS LOVED BECAUSE OF ITS OLD TRADITION, WHICH IS STILL "ALIVE", THANKS TO ITS RESIDENTS! SKIATHOS' GREAT TRADITION IS THE REASON FOR ITS UNIQUE BEAUTY AND TYPE. VIRGIN MARY OF THE ICONS (Panagia Iconistria) November 21st She is the patron saint of the island and performs many miracles for those calling upon her with reverence and faith. She is celebrated twice per year. On November 21st, when the most significant celebration takes place, and the icon is transferred by a procession, following by a crowd of people -on foot- from the metropolitan temple of the Three Hierarchs, where it is kept, to the place that it was found, in its beloved Monastery, and is then returned. Skiathos celebrates the commemoration of its Finding during the first weekend after July 1st.

ÔHE FOLKLORE DANCE “KAMARA” Among the vast majority of the folk songs of Skiathos, most are narrative. The beginning of these songs refers to the Middle Ages. The most characteristic of these is "Kamara". This song is sung in a specific Skiathan dance which is also called "Kamara". In the past, this dance was the most popular and beloved dance among women, who danced it wearing their most formal dress and with much grace after the Second Resuyyection and on the feast of Zoodochos Pigi.

"KATSONEIA" Every year on September 14th commemoration events are organized by the Municipality of Skiathos, and the Greek navy, to honor the men of the crew of the "Katsonis" submarine, who lost their lives, when on this day of 1943, during the war, their submarine was sank by a German ship, near the area of the Castle.

TRADITIONAL WEDDING According to the custom of the island, before the ceremony, the bride and groom would visit separately from each other, each other's home so they could

exchange wishes and wisdom words with relatives and friends.

Each one was accompanied by the folk orchestra and a huge crowd of enthusiastic people. The ceremony used to take place at home, by the priest of the island and all guests would have the chance to try one "haimali", a sweet, unique and delicious traditional wedding treat! After the ceremony, it was time for the big celebration at newly married couple's house, which could last up to three whole days!

EASTER IN SKIATHOS Easter in Skiathos is interesting because it is one of the few places in Greece where the custom of Mount Athos is practiced. The island is covered in a mourning veil during the whole Holy Week and the Epitaph Mass takes place on Saturday at dawn, according to the timetable on Mount Athos. The atmosphere on the island creates a feeling of reverence and emotion, while the Epitaph goes down the narrow streets of the town, the crier chants the mourning psalms and all the inhabitants of the island follow or watch from their candlelit homes.

HORSE RACES Every year, during the celebration of Saint George (Agios Georgios) at the chapel of the Saint, by the lake (near the airport), horse races take place around the lake. This is a custom that exceeds two centuries as a tradition. Horses and jockeys are awarded with a diploma-souvenir, while many people watch. The horse races take place in order to honor the beloved saint of the Orthodox, who is depicted as a rider, and is considered to be the protector of our people from any harm that may threaten them.

MÁÑÉÍÁ ÓÉÁÖÁ

Greek litterateurs, was born in Skiathos on March 3rd 1851. 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 clergy. Upon his return, he gets enrolled to the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Athens but he never graduates. 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 psychological description, an apt penetration to the depths of the mental world of his heroes. 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. This is where he returns to rest, this is where he returns to sleep at the end of his life.

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.

Having an almost parallel course with his cousin A. Papadiamantis, Alexandros Moraitidis was born in Skiathos in 1850. He begins his education on the island, completes his studies in Athens, and in 1881 he graduates from the Faculty of Philosophy, where he later becomes a Doctor. He served all literary genres. Similarly to Papadiamantis, he is also dominated by nostalgia for the homeland.

His work is permeated by special lyricism, deep religiousness, and love for Skiathos. In 1914, he is honored with the Distinction of Letters and Arts. In 1929, he returns to the island as monk Andronikos.

In October of the same year, he gets sick and dies.

"Kamara" is a traditional dance from Skiathos, which everyone dances with their hands folded behind their back.

After the ceremony, the mother-in-law waits in front of the home entrance in order to give the couple a sweet treat consisting of honey and walnuts, so that the rest of their life is sweet. Then, she makes them step on an iron piece so that they are always strong as iron.

Skiathos, with all these customs, the dreamy landscapes, the fantastic beaches, its tradition, its songs, is the perfect setting for a dreamlike wedding.

They say that whoever drinks water from here comes back many times.

This is why there are many "wedding vow renewals" taking place from couples which after many years of living together and loving each other wish to re-experience the dream of the wedding sacrament!

On the island, there are many businesses helping all of you who are thinking of getting married in Skiathos and leaving having the best of memories. All the businessmen of the island, with the right people, services, facilities and unique ideas on the organization of your wedding, will give a special feeling to the most important day of your life.

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

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…

querors, helping along with others, the allies to escape to Middle East.

The biggest change in the form of the town of Skiathos occurred when the new harbor was constructed. 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

“Koukounaries” was the first beach that was visited by tourists, and "Xenia" the first hotel that was built to welcome the high society of the time, even kings from all over Europe.

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 bring with them a piece of wood from their house to put it in the school stove.

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 Unseen 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.

Also, the Maritime & Cultural Tradition Museum, was founded in 2015 and is housed in Bourtzi.

Ensemble “le buisson prosperant”

, Ulrich Poschner, Daniel Kagerer, Nada Anderwert , Gabriel Wernly. The event which is organized by the Culture Association Skiathos together with the Prefecture of Thessaly it is under the auspices of the European Year of Culture Heritage 2018.

A wide stylistic diversity and an inquisitiveness for cross-divisional projects are characteristic of the creative work of the string quartet "Le buisson prosperant". A vital distinguishing feature of the programmatic work consists in its conscious anchorage in a historic-cultural context. In fact, it can even be considered as the decisive original impulse for the work of "Le buisson prosperant". Not only is the Fraumunster in Zurich one of the most important churches of the city, but it is also a distinguished art venue. Marc Chagall created a now world-famous series of glass windows for the choir room which is, time and again, the concert venue of the string quartet. Beside their collaboration in the quartet, the four members of "Le buisson prosperant" are engaged in other intense activities as orchestral musicians and soloists. Their range of instruments naturally comprises modern as well as, for the baroque repertoire, historically tuned stringed instruments. The long-standing experience of the quartet on many levels within the music scene, which has become more sensitive for tone and musical rhetoric, guarantees the historic authenticity of their performance. As a result, they always play their instruments in a lively and vibrant manner, which conveys Haydn's or Mozart's early quartets as expressively as the magnificent tone quality of Ravel, Debussy or other composers of the twentieth century. It is the shared passion for chamber music, as well as their love for the inexhaustibly rich repertoire for string quartets, that has always filled, and continues to fill, the ensemble with enthusiasm on their musical journeys of discovery.

Both concerts are organized by the Cultural Association Skiathos and the Austrian Embassy in Athens, with the support of the Andreas and Fleur Potamianos family. The concerts are part of the Austrian-Greek Music Summer program of the Embassy. The trio 'Die Wandervogel' is a modern and humorous homage to the "Wandervogel" songbook from the early 20th century. In the tradition of the well-renowned duo Zupfgeigenhansel from the 1970s and early 1980s, Die Wandervogel rekindle old, nearly-forgotten songs from the 17th to the 20th century of German, Austrian and Yiddish origins. Adding to this already rich repertoir, Die Wandervogel play instrumental music from several different cultures, ranging from Scandinavia to Greece. A clear invitation to sing and dance but also to enjoy listening to well- conceived lyrics and arrangements. Bryan Benner - vocals, guitar, mandolin David Stellner - vocals, guitar, Raphael Widmann - violin, vocals.

Up cycling ...for fire prevention In Skiathos was 'invented' the way to up-cycle the plastic floaters, for the fire prevention of the forest. A lot of plastic floaters used by the mussels farms in the north of Greece, when being cut by the strong winds, end their 'trip' to Skiathos beaches. The floaters are collected by the volunteers during the environmental program 'All hands all deck-clean up Skiathos', which is organized by the Cultural Association 'Skiathos' the last three years, where more than 600 volunteers clean more than 15 beaches. The last years more and more floaters were collected so the Cultural Association Skiathos decided to use them as storage for water, in the Mandraki forest, an area of exceptional beauty, in order to used in case of a fire. In total more than 6 tones of water are in first use.
