TOURISM, A COLLECTIVE AFFAIR Nowadays, it is a commonplace for all those working with Tourism, either due to their profession or due to their statutory function that it does not constitute just one part of the tertiary sector of our island-based economy, but it penetrates every aspect of our social life. The fact that the actions that are being developed in the local economy are strongly linked to the rapid - and sometimes unexpected - changes that take place both on a national and international level, forces all bodies, which have any responsibility, to create a strategy not to constitute closed structures but to give feedback to and enrich their policies. Flexibility, innovation and specialization, flagship requests in a period where state interventionism retreats, obtain their effective content when they truly become a property of collectivities that participate in this attempt. This targeting is also assisted by readjustments launched by the Municipality of Skopelos in the operation of the Tourism Committee, thus combining scientific theoretical specialization with productive experience as well as the originality that originates from the synergy of social partners and entrepreneurial powers in the framework of its executive role, advertising and the promotion of our island. We also place the ambitious endeavor of those who contribute to the publication of the 1st issue of DISCOVER SKOPELOS in this framework. We believe that with its rich content it will take its readers, the visitors and the island's inhabitants by storm and will support the multiform communication forms and "underground" streams of offers, which seek new ways of expression with its presence. May it have a successful journey! Christos Vasiloudis, Mayor of Skopelos

The island of Skopelos found itself in the "heat" of the ... sand on the 17-18-19 of July. Nothing was left to be desired from the impressive "duels" of these top beach volley athletes (35 teams in total): aces, blocks, net, sweat, toned bodies, disappointment, enthusiasm... offering locals and the island's visitors intense athletic moments. The operational bodies of Skopelos showed their potentiality and proved that "feats" can be achieved with great cooperation. For the record, it is noted that Thodoris Papadimitriou and Dimitrios Niopas reached the top in the male category and Pigianna Metheniti and Penny Karagkouni in the female category. The games left a great "dowry" to Skopelos, the experience of hosting a great sports event which sets the basis for future ones too, a motive for youth to take up sports, the two courts at "Ammos" beach and of course the fact that the spotlight fell on the island during these three days.

3rd International Festival of Traditional Dances "Diamantis Palaiologos"

“Äñþìåíá ôïõ ôüðïõ ìáò”

Skopelos will dance to the rhythms of traditional music on 23-24-25 August 2015. 600 dancers from every corner of Greece, Cyprus and Nepal will offer unique moments of intense emotion, national exaltation, admiration and pride. On Sunday, August 23rd, all dancers, hand by hand in an impressive circle, will "embrace" the entire port of Skopelos, in a "circling dance", and will signal the beginning of the Festival. Flags, colors, as well as unique and special local costumes will fill the area. This will be continued in the open theatre of Skopelos. The Festival takes place in honor of "Diamantis Palaiologos", who was born and grew up in Palaio Klima, was a talented dance teacher, student of Dora Stratou, and the soul of the dancing group of Glossa, Skopelos, which has received many pan-Hellenic distinctions. He was characterized for his selflessness, and he passionately supported what he considered to be best for his homeland. Many generations loved traditional dances thanks to Mantos and his wife, Christina.

The organizers and volunteers of Skopelos International Film Festival for Youth will welcome "with kefi" (spirit) the Greek and foreign participants from July 27th to August 3rd. The subject for this year is Greek "Kefi" (spirit), and the projection of the film that the youngsters will create with the guidance of specialists will take place on August 3rd at "Orfeas" cinema. This is why the participants will be taught Greek dances and will be introduced to Greek music, which will be played for them by local artists. 29 directors and producers from America, England, Austria, Taiwan and South Korea, participate and they assign duties to the youngsters, i.e. who will be the actors, the directors, the script writers, the cameramen/women etc. SIFFY was organized for the first time in 2009. The previous year, Professor Wangtae Lim from the Dong-Ah Institute of Mass Media and Arts had directed a documentary about Sporades, with the assistance of Jill Somer, Deputy Director of the Skopelos Foundation for the Arts. Professor Lim was moved by the island and the people, and considered that it would be the perfect "setting" for youngsters to obtain the bases of filming procedure, while, at the same time, they acquire experiences and their skills on it are identified.

International Plum Convention in Skopelos

Costas. Andreou

Skopelos will be in the focus of international interest on August 20th to 22nd thanks to the organization of the International Convention "III PLUM AND PRUNE WORKING GROUP MEETING", regarding the cultivation and use of "Plum Tree" products. Of course, it could not be realized anywhere else, since three plum varieties, which are unique in the world, are cultivated and developed in Skopelos. The cultivation of plum trees in Skopelos managed to financially sustain many families that had no other income, for many decades. Researchers from university institutes and Research Institutes from all over the world will participate.

The first Camphill in Greece takes place in Skopelos. Children with special needs from all three islands of the Northern Sporades, as well as from the wider area of Magnesia, will be hosted at the Camphill. The buildings will be erected in a beautiful area of Skopelos, the area of Alykia, in a 5,000 m2 estate, which was granted by the family of Machi and Ioannis Papadavid. The children, who will be hosted in the community, will have the opportunity to be autonomous, to work in the specific space, and to fill their daily routine with creative actions, such as painting, horse riding etc. This is an initiative of love by the Papadavid family, who saw "their dream taking shape", a dream for their beloved daughter, Kerrie, and for this reason the foundation of Skopelos will be named "Kerrie's Orchard".

The green paradise on earth, with the emerald waters, hasn't left the producers of "Mamma Mia!" unaffected, who selected it among the hundreds of islands of Greece for shooting the movie. In September 2008, the island of Skopelos was transformed into Hollywood. Crews, producers, famous actors, such as Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan, and dancers filled the island's streets and beaches. The locations selected were Agios Ioannis at Kastri in Glossa, where the wedding was shot, "Kastani" beach, where a wooden bridge was set, Amarantos with its rocky beaches and the characteristic pine tree that emerges from the sea, the path between Milia and Kastani, which is shown during the first minutes of the movie, and shots of great view, which were taken in the area called "Nisi" (Island) in Skopelos and Glysteri. Don't be fooled… you will find these places only in Skopelos! For the record, it is mentioned that the Greek film "The Immigrant" and the old television series "Shop Window Tiger" were shot in Skopelos, while in July of the previous year the shootings of a Russian production film were completed on the island.

Maria Vogiatzoglou Responsible for the Public Relations of the Skopelos Hoteliers Association Can you describe for us the "physiognomy" of Skopelos as a tourist destination? A lush island, with majestic beaches with clear blue waters, listed settlements, hospitable inhabitants, local traditional products and delicacies, and quality entertainment. An ideal destination for couples of all ages, and families. How do you characterize the hotel product of Skopelos in its entirety? Skopelos as a tourist product appeared during the '70s. Initially, due to the difficult access and the lack of hotel accommodations, there was quite a limited movement both in visitor numbers and duration. Since the beginning of the '80s, with the expansion of the airport of Skiathos, the charter flights infrastructure directly from abroad was created, which benefited our island, resulting in Skopelos obtaining many small and medium-size tourist accommodations. Today's condition of the island's hotel infrastructure, besides the lack of large units (above 300 beds) covers all price ranges, and the quality-price relationship is great. Please mention to us some of the activities-actions of the Skopelos Hoteliers Association, which are linked to the tourist "profile" of the island. We undertook the management of a TOPSA (local employment program, which is adjusted to the needs of the local labor market) Thessaly program, and we materialized it to the benefit of the Association. We have already managed to create and operate a dynamic site for the Association, “skopeloshotelsassociation.com”, which will project the island of Skopelos and the members of the association. We came in contact with all the organizations of the island in order to contribute and support the events, which will take place this summer in Skopelos, and which will contribute significantly to the projection of the island. We are in contact with the Greek Tourism Organization (EOT) and its offices abroad, in order to invite journalists, aiming at the projection of our island to the reading and television audience. Which are the Association's future moves for the creation of a powerful tourist "brand name" with international awareness? Pursuing a determining move for the promotion of our island, in collaboration with the Local Committee of Tourism Promotion, in which the Association participates, we assigned to the specialized company "Marketing Greece S.A.", one of the biggest companies, which has effectively and successfully undertaken the promotion of other destinations in Greece (Crete, Ionian islands, Thessaloniki, Chalkidiki etc.), the promotion and more effective advertizing of our homeland. We are also preparing a day conference with Open Tourism, where distinguished speakers will inform on the new ways of promotion - marketing of the local tourist product of Skopelos. Mrs. Vogiatzoglou is also the Managing Director of the hotel business VILLAGE OF SKOPELOS S.A., which is the owner of the SKOPELOS VILLAGE hotel.

If we had to describe Skopelos with two colors, these would be green and blue, since it is the greenest island of the Aegean and one of the greenest islands of the Mediterranean, with its pine forest expanding throughout the length and width of the island. In many cases, it touches the sea, giving it the color of emerald and this exact matching of sea and pine is what makes it unique. These idyllic coasts, the virgin forests, the mountains with views that catch the breath, the traditional settlements of Chora and Glossa, the imposing monasteries, the picturesque shops, the traditional taverns and fish taverns by the sea, the cozy bars, as well as the scent of Hollywood that the "Mamma Mia!" movie left behind (since most shootings were performed here), will place Skopelos in the highest ranks of your choices, as a place for ideal vacations.

"PLANNING ON THE MAP" EXERCISES Skopelos is located in central Aegean, to the east of Pelion and to the north of Evoia, between Skiathos and Alonnisos and it is the capital of the island complex of Northern Sporades. The perimeter of its coastline is 67 km., and it covers a 95.8 sq.km. surface. Its higher peak is "Delphi" at 680m. and Palouki follows with 565m. It has three ports, the ones of Skopelos, Agnontas and Loutraki. Besides the main settlement, Skopelos' Chora, there are three villages, located to the south, southwest of the island, Glossa, with Loutraki as its port, and Neo Klima (Elios), and also three small settlements, Agnonta, Panormo and Palio Klima. There are three routes to reach these starting from Chora: The first is by following the perimeter of the island, clockwise, which crosses the entire south, southwest side -where the most and most beautiful beaches are located - and ends after 37 km at its other edge, Loutraki of Glossa. The second route starts from the ring road, passes above Skopelos' Chora in order to reach its higher point, mountain Delphi and ends at Elios. The third route starts from the ring road, follows the road towards the Heliport, where the Monastery of Saint Riginos, Protector of the island, is located, passes through the beaches of Panormo, Antrines, Milia, Kastani, the village of Elios and ends where all roads end, at Loutraki of Glossa.

WHAT TO SEE There are many sights in Skopelos, and you will need a few days of stay in order to admire them. In Chora, the Folklore Museum, the "Vakratsa" Mansion and the house-museum of Pavlos Nirvanas. The Venetian Castle-Fortress, which was built by the Venetians in the 13th century. Below the Castle, the Acropolis of classical years with the wall of ancient Peparithos is located. In the new port, and specifically at "Ampeliki" position, you can see archaeological findings from the ancient temple, which was dedicated to Asclepius in the 4th century B.C., the "Asclepion". The Byzantine Monasteries of Evangelistria (Annunciation), Prodromos (John the Baptist), Agia Varvara (Saint Barbara), Agioi Taxiarches (Archangels), Sotiras (Savior), unique monuments of cultural heritage, at Palouki mountain. Also, the monastery of "Agia Moni" (Holy Monastery), which is at the north side of the island, and of Agios Efstathios in Karya. At a distance of 2 km to the south of Chora "Episkopi", a church of the 4th century. At the same road, the Monastery of Agios Riginos, the protector of Skopelos. Sentoukia, the carved tombs of pirates, which are located at Karya mountain. In Stafylos, the area where the tomb and the sword of king Stafylos were found. Drakonoschisma, the area where the mountain was split in half and

The Monastery of Agioi Taxiarches (Archangels) in Glossa, the Folklore Museum, the Maritime Museum, the Roman Baths and the ancient walls in Loutraki, "Faros" (1887), a historical, listed monument, which is located at Gourouni Cape, 10 km outside Glossa. Discover hidden Skopelos, by crossing its mountains with the endless forests and the sensational view.

WHAT TO TASTE It is a sin to visit Skopelos and not taste the famous traditional Cheese Pie of Skopelos! It is crispy, fried, and filled with local goat cheese. The must of gourmants is fresh grouper cooked as stew, spaghetti with lobster, and pork with plums from Skopelos, which constitute a unique variety in the world. The tasting is supplemented by the delicious baby goat of Skopelos, of the famous rare breed of "Goat of Skopelos". For desert, choose the "chamalia" marzipans scented with flower water and rose water, and the "Avgato Plum" spoon sweet. Don't forget to take plums, almonds, butter pears, olives, oil, honey, and choose between a large variety of sweets and jams made by local producers.

THE TOWN OF SKOPELOS The main town is alone an attraction. As the boat approaches its welcome is impressive. A traditional village, amphitheatrically built with Venetian, Macedonian and Pelion influences can only be seductive. Cobbled streets, whitewashed houses spread around the Castle to end at the port, two and three storey mansions built by local wealthy traders. Countless little churches, bougainvillea and jasmine create a residential complex with distinct identity and color. Panagitsa of Pyrgos (the church) is the trademark. It stands proud on the edge of the cliff above the old port, while at the other side stands the ancient Temple of Asclepius, as if to witness the long history of Skopelos, throughout the centuries.

A walk in Chora

FROM THE OLD PORT TO THE CASTLE The old harbor is the ideal place to start. On the right you have the sea. Small boats, fishing boats, excursion boats. On your left, right before the neoclassical building of the Town Hall, the “Rock”, geniously lit, will capture your eye. Count 50 cemented stairs to climb to the namesake Cafe -Bar, and enjoy the panoramic view. Moving on, you will see several beautiful taverns, while opposite, next to the waterfront, the monument of the Unknown local Soldier in Navy, impresses. At the edge of the harbor, you will see emerging from the coast of Plakes, Chadoula’s rock and all along the length of the anchorage, luxury boats and yachts giving a cosmopolitan flair to the main town. However, what really magnetizes the visitor is the whitewashed church of "Panagitsa of Pyrgos", as the locals call the church of the Virgin Mary located on the edge of the harbor. It has a cruciform shape and is built on the imposing rock (on our left as we look at the sea), which we reach climbing the small stone steps. The temple dates from the 17th century and unfolds scenes from the Old and New Testaments. Then, follow the winding roads and landings leading to the ruins of the Venetian castle (13th cent.). As you ascend, you are gradually situated in a totally different era. It is film scenery: splendid churches next to cliffs overlook-

ing the magnificent Aegean Sea and Alonissos, and if the time for the sunrise has come, your inner self will be reborn! Reknown "Anatoli" however, the tavern of well-known “rebetis” Yiorgos Xintaris, a benchmark for all visitors, will be awaiting you. The Greek and the... pirate flag waving at the top right next to the remains of the Castle, the colors of the West and the sounds of “rebetika” will engrave your mind.

THE INLAND In order to acquire a deeper knowledge of the main town and to realize the volume of its traditional character, choose one of the narrow, cobbled streets that start from the old port and go up. The freshly whitewashed houses, so tightly hugged, you can hardly tell their distinct lines, form the small neighborhoods with the bougainvillea embracing the balconies hiding tiny courtyards. Occasionally, vibrant colors pop out and create a sharp contrast with the brown tones that the locals used to paint the doors and windows. The architecture is of particular interest as it is divided between Venice, Pelion, Macedonia, rural and neoclassical, influenced by the culture the residents occasionally brought with them on the island... However, what will really impress you are the churches and the numerous small chapels that pop up between the roofs of the houses and the winding streets. The opinion of the locals about their exact number differ, some talk about over 100, others double the number. What is undeniable is that their presence testifies the deep religious feeling of the people of Skopelos, who, with great respect continue to care for their religious tradition. Among the beautiful churches it is worth visiting the Church of the Nativity of Christ, the cathedral of the city, below the Castle. The temple dates back to 1765. Old icons and relics of the temple of Agios Athanasios on the Castle along with the relics of St. Riginos are of great importance and have their own special place. The bell of the church was donated to the locals by Alexis Orlov for their participation in the naval battle of Cesme (1770), where the Turkish fleet was destroyed.

Continuing your stroll you will pass the "Mansion Vakratsa", a beautiful house, typically local, which belonged to Mrs. Vakratsa Antigone, who donated it to the Municipality of Skopelos, and now functions as a museum where the relics and the personal belongings of the family Vakratsa are exhibited. In the beautiful courtyard, where various cultural events take place, we focus our attention to the palm tree. In another alley the Folklore Museum is located, a building donated in 1991 to the Municipality of Skopelos, by the Nikolaidis family. Here, are housed all the "material evidence" of the local history, with the rich and aristocratic, bridal attire of Skopelos "morko" or "stofa" being one of the most remarkable exhibits. A little further down, in the St John’s district, next to the church of the Three Hierarchs, you will see the house - museum where great Modern Greek writer Pavlos Nirvanas, (Petros Apostolidis, his real name) spent his childhood. The building was repaired and refitted to an exhibition carrying the history of Skopelos

across several suggestions for diner and coffee making the main town your background. Near Ammos, you will discover the historic pottery workshop that produces the unique black-figure greek vases. Towards the end of the beach, in the region of Ampeliki you will see the "Asclepion", the healing temple dedicated to Asclepius, where a small number of archaeological findings are exhibited.

NOT FAR FROM THE MAIN TOWN A very nice walk that we propose is the path to the mountain "Palouki" to enjoy the best view of the town. There, in a magnificent landscape with spectacular views on the Aegean Sea, lie one after the other the Byzantine monasteries of Evangelistria, the Baptist (Prodromou), St. Barbara, the Savior (Sotiros) and the beautiful churches of the Holy Archangels, St. Anna and the Holy Trinity. “Episkopi” (Episcopacy) is two kilometers south of the town of Skopelos, on the right of the road that goes to the southern beaches. It is a Venetian building, with a basilica church in the middle of the courtyard, destined for the seat of the Bishop of Skopelos. It remained unfinished due to the raid of the pirate Barbarossa (1538). You will find it open on August 23, day of cele-

bration, when the Episkopi opens for a vigil followed by a festival. The church also functions for liturgies and private religious events. Continuing on the same road, 4 km. south, you will see the Monastery of St Riginos, the patron saint of Skopelos. The church of Saint Riginos, built in 1728, probably on the ruins of the oldest Byzantine monastery. The present church was built in the 1960s. In the courtyard of the monastery there is the sarcophagus of the saint, the first bishop-martyr of the island (4th century AD). On February 24 and 25 religious festivities take place along with processions as well a great procession of the sacred relics in the streets of Skopelos setting out from the Holy Monastery to the church of the Nativity of Christ. You will love the town of Skopelos. It allocates equal portions of tradition and tourist character and your tours will not run out in one or two days. Nobility, cleanliness and different stimuli at every step you take. Furthermore, the options for amusement are indeed special, as many of the cafes and bars of the island have each an ambiance and character of their own. The town of Skopelos will never lose its identity because neither the local people nor the tourists want it. That is the reason why the latter visit the island, because it is what it is: simple and beautiful.

GLOSSA Glossa has been described as the "balcony of the Aegean" and not without reason. From each and every point, the endless blue catches your eye. Built on a green hillside, it overlooks Skiathos and Euboea. "The High village" according to Alexandros Papadiamantis and "The Vineyard region" according to Alexander Moraitidis, Glossa impresses by its nobility and its rich cultural activity. Back in time the region seems to have been inhabited by Cretans and may have been a colony during the Minoan era as traces of a prehistoric dwelling were discovered which explains the name that was given to the village in the past: Knossa was the name of the town built in this area by the first inhabitants of the island, the Minoans. Others attribute it to the tongue (glossa) shape of the cape in the sea area of the settlement. (There is also a more humorous version for the name of Glossa as according to its residents, â&#x20AC;&#x153;by the time you have climbed all the steps in the village, your tongue reaches the floorâ&#x20AC;?.) The inhabitants of Glossa were viticulturists producing tons of good wine. Some, however, were sailors and captains. In Loutraki there was an organized shipyard, not of the same importance as that of the main town.

A walk in Glossa Follow us in a short tour

First stop at the square of Panaghia Eleftherotria. Just opposite are the schools where the summer cultural festivities take place in early August. The traditional dance festival unfolds itself during the last weekend of August. Park the car and choose one of the two paths leading to the settlement. Picturesque, Macedonian style houses, one next to the other, souvenir shops, local products, but also coffee shops and restaurants await you. Going up, stop at "Louki" to cool off at "Kanalaki", a water source, and from there head to the village central square with the huge cypress, for which lots of stories have been written. The Church of the Assumption, patron saint of Glossa, dominates. It was built in the late 19th c., has a beautiful marble temple (1897), a work of a great artist Tinian sculptor, George Kaparias. Above the square, visit the gallery of the church, which hosts 42 exquisite paintings donated by Alexander Sideris an award-winning artist, whose paintings are exhibited in major museums abroad. Just opposite is the Folklore Museum: an old house, that will automatically take you back in time, since all the rooms are original, decorated with works of art that reveal the richness of the folklore of the village. And the climb continues... Next stop is "Kokosouli." Walking through the aromas of marjoram and basil of neat neighborhoods and whitewashed terraces you will reach the highest point of Glossa. Here, the view is breathtaking! There is also the Maritime Museum for Glossa , an exhibition of ships from all over Greece, from the Minoan times until the first ships with smokestacks. Going down, you

will come across a huge tree, the trademark of "Rious" with the second famous village spring and if you continue downhill, the path will lead you to the port of Glossa, Loutraki.

Atheato (unseen) or Machalas. Machalas is one of the few villages of Skopelos from the Ottoman period. It was built in such way to avoid the frequent pirate raids and that explains its name, Atheato, which means â&#x20AC;&#x153;unseenâ&#x20AC;?. The grand harem confirms the Turkish presence on the island. Walking through the picturesque, cobbled street that connects Glossa to Machala, you feel it was once full of life. There is the old path that descends to Pouri and brings you to Kato Klima. A path, connected with legends about monsters and goblins.

The monastery of the Archangels (Taxiarches). 2.5 kilometers away from Glossa. This is one of the finest monuments of post-Byzantine era, in the Northern Sporades. Founded in 1672, while in the courtyard one can see the remains of an early Christian church (672 AD ). In May 2015 the maintenance and restoration of this important heritage that includes the main church, the basement wing of the cells, the courtyard and a small ossuary. 10 km. from Glossa, at cape "Gourouni" stands the lighthouse(1889), an impressive 18 meters high building which dominates the lush mountainside. In 1996 it was designated by the Ministry of Culture, a historic monument. If you decide to go on foot, the walk is breathtaking and the sunset unique! Glossa is beautiful and its authenticity impresses. Its rhythms are relaxed and its guests have a lot to tell about the romantic walks in the narrow streets, the gorgeous sunsets, the good food in the taverns and restaurants and the good-hearted people. Do not miss!

Loutraki is the first port after Skiathos. Just opposite are the isles of Dasa, Strongylo, Kasidi, Plaronisi and Paksimada. Loutraki owes its name to the Roman baths discovered in the nearby locality of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Katakalouâ&#x20AC;?. The ruins of ancient Selinounta, a city that according to the legend disappeared overnight when huge waves covered it, are found along the coast, in "Glystra", "Paleokastro" and elsewhere. On the wall of a dilapidated house, also in the region, there are reliefs of pre-Christian times and in its courtyard there are two sarcophagus. Many important discoveries have come to light after excavations, as the statue of Aphrodite, the Doric capital of large dimensions and value, and the statue of Athena which was found in 1865 and bears the inscription '' KLEAINETI DIODORUS IERITEFSASA ATHENA''. Finally, there is a resolution of Consul, dating from 273-2 BC, and concerns a citizen of Peparithos who became consul of the city of Delphi. Near the beach of Loutraki, there is the Byzantine church of Agios Nikolaos, which is founded on an old Byzantine church of the 7th century. Loutraki is a beautiful waterfront area, set against a majestic sunset. Highly recommended for swim, fresh fish, ouzo, coffee and loukoumades.

The village of Elios or Neo Klima numbers a few years of existence, and was created by the inhabitants of Palio Klima, who were forced to leave after the earthquakes and the landslides that ruined their village. It is located at the foot of the green mountain of "Delphi", and there is a large beach in front of it, which is "interrupted" by the port and the marina where many sailing boats and other vessels moor. Indeed, there is also a "slipway" for the launching of vessels. On the left, as we see the sea, there is one of the famous beaches of Skopelos, Chovolo. In its center, the protector of the village, the church of "Agioi Anargiroi" is found, and it is worth attending the festival in honor of the saints, which takes place on July 1st, while at a small distance up the central road you will find the monastery of Virgin Mary of Elios. Elios has experienced tourist development with dozens of rooms to rent, as well as beautiful resorts, and it is recommended for those who seek relaxation and revitalization. There are also many taverns and fish taverns and many people visit it from other parts of Skopelos for this reason. Near the port, the "Public Forest", a beautiful recreation area. "Squid night", which is organized in August, attracts the interest of the entire island. SPYRIDOULA MPETSANI

It is located between Elios and Glossa. It is a lush village, amphitheatrically built, with old stone houses overlooking the Aegean Sea. Until the beginning of the 1950s, the village was divided in two districts, which were called mahalas earlier, Epano (Upper) and Kato (Lower) Klima, which was also the oldest, and was established in the 18th century by the inhabitants of Glossa, who had set there something like a small rural settlement. The church of the village, Agioi Anargiroi, was built in 1828. However, maybe there was a small temple there at an earlier time. With the earthquakes of 1950, the village started losing its glamour and beauty. Some of its inhabitants moved to the upper village, others to Loutraki, and just a few remained there until 1965, when the other earthquake, which ruined the upper village, forced them to leave and built a new settlement at a small distance, today's Neo Klima or Elios. The most characteristic features of the inhabitants of Klima were their enthusiastic character and their hospitality. The inhabitants of Klima were the biggest revelers of Skopelos. Both in festivals and weddings, as well some Sundays, dancing and feasts were organized in the square, Velania, in which many inhabitants of Glossa used to come. Live traditional festivals included those of Agioi Anargiroi (July 1st and November 1st), Virgin Mary of Elios, Agia Paraskevi etc. Nowadays, many of the deserted houses have been bought by foreigners, who, respecting its traditional architecture, renovated an admirable, traditional settlement, opposite Skiathos and Evoia.

This evolution was based on the way, in which the ancient Greeks used to be nourished, resulting in managing to offer clean and almost healing tastes. The restaurant is located in a wonderful garden, in the old Chora of Skopelos. You can accompany your food with selected Greek wines, and relax while listening to live music. You will feel comfortable with the service, which is warm and discrete.

PRODROMOU MONASTERY

EVANGELISTRIAS MONASTERY

Z. Stamoulis

THE MONASTERIES The degree of the religiousness of the inhabitants of Skopelos, is shown by the "countless" traditional churches and chapels, as well as by the 24 monasteries, among which there are three Byzantine ones. At the side of "Palouki" mountain, exactly opposite to Skopelos' Chora, many of the island's monasteries are located. The Monastery of Agia Varvara (Santa Barbara) was built in the 17th century. It is surrounded by fort walls, which remind of a medieval fortress. It has a masterful temple, one of the oldest on the island, a sample of Byzantine art. The Monastery of Timios Prodromos is located at a short distance from the Monastery of Agia Varvara, at the top of "Palouki" mountain. Its temple is worth admiring, and it consists of two parts, one dated to the 14th century and the other dated to the 18th century. Besides that, there are icons of the 17th century, while the murals date back to the 14th century. The Monastery of Evangelistria is built at the side of Palouki mountain, at a point with excellent view and it resembles a fortress, so that it protected the inhabitants from pirate invasions. It was renovated in 1712 by the father of the known scholar Cesarius Daponte, Chatzis Stefanis Daponte, after a miracle that he experienced. In the church, there are icons of the 14th century, while its temple is coated by sheets of gold. There is a patriarchal sigillium of 1804 in the monastery with 2 lead seals of the Monastery. This is where the miraculous icon of "Pammakaristos" dominates, which was given as a gift to Cesarius Daponte by Mavrocordatos' wife, and which was previously in a church in Romania. The monastery also included a School, in which Saint Ierotheos from Iberia taught. The Monastery of the Transformation of the Savior is located opposite to the monastery of Evangelismos (Annunciation). It is considered to be one of the oldest of the island, and it is estimated that it was built towards the end of the 15th century. Its temple is dated to the 16th century. The church has cobbled floor. In 1821, it was a shelter for the monks of Mouth Athos.

cophagus of the Episcope of Skopelos, Agios Riginos, is kept, which dates back to the 4th century. Agios Riginos is the patron saint, protector of Skopelos. The Monastery of Agios Taxiarchis in Glossa is located on the road towards "Perivoliou" beach. It was built in the 17th century on a pre-Christian temple. The Monastery has been identified with the recent history of Glossa. There are also many other Monasteries, which are dispersed all around the island. The Holy Monastery of Panagia Livadiotissa (Virgin Mary of the Meadows) of the 17th century to the eastern suburbs of Chora, the Holy Monastery of Agios Ioannis of the 18th century at Kotronaki, the Holy Monastery of Timios Stavros (Holy Cross) of the 17th century at Kotronaki, to the north of Chora, which is a unique sample of triconch temples on the island, the Holy Monastery of Agios Ioannis of the 16th century at Kampos, the Holy Monastery of Agios Artemios of the 17th century to the south of Chora, the Holy Monastery of Agios Nikolaos of the 17th century at Kipi, next to the Elementary School, where the French Academy of Skopelos also was, the Holy Monastery of Pano Panaitsa (Assumption of Virgin Mary) of the 18th century at the NE part of the island, the Holy Monastery of Agia Triada of the 18th century at Palouki mountain, the Holy Monastery of Agios Taxiarchis of the 18th century at Vato, the Holy Monastery of the Assumption of the Savior at Karya, the Holy Monastery of the 17th century at Stefani location, the Holy Monastery of Agios Efstathios of the 17th century at Karya, which has the capacity to host during the summer at a nearby residence with cells, the Holy Monastery of Agios Georgios of the 18th century at Karya, the Holy Monastery of Panagia Eliotissa of the 18th century at Neo Klima of Glossa, the Holy Monastery of Agii Apostoli of the 18th century in Glossa, the Holy Monastery of Agios Ioannis at Kastri of

The Monastery of Agios Riginos is located at a small distance out of Skopelos' Chora, to the Southwest. It was built in 1728, as it is inscribed in a marble slab, which was found earlier at the entrance of the Monastery. This is where the sar-

the 18th century on a steep rock, and the Holy Monastery of Agios Georgios of the 18th century, on the homonymous uninhabited island, which has its celebration-festival on April 23rd.

Before you enter Glossa, there is a road to your right, which will guide you. This is the widely known now chapel, since this is where the wedding of the "MAMMA MIA" movie was shot. The chapel is built on the top of a rock at a height of 100 meters. To reach this, you have to climb the 106 small steps, which are carved on the stone. The view to the sea is majestic, and the surrounding small beaches that embrace the rock compose a majestic scenery, sweetening the wildly beautiful rocky landscape. The folk legend says that a fisherman from Glossa saw a light on the rock while returning home from fishing. He used to see it every night. In the end, a woman appeared in his dream and revealed to him that there was an icon on the top of the rock. He climbed to the top and found the icon of Ioannis Prodromos (Saint John the Baptist) and took it from there, but the icon returned back to the rock every time. Thus, the church of "Agios Ioannis at Kastri" was built on the rock.

Skopelos has been traditionally renowned for its free diving divers. Scuba diving comes to be added to the list and the first Diving Center of Skopelos (Skopelos Dive Center) is a fact as of 2014. It has been created and supported by young people whose love for the island and the diving activities urged them to set a goal: promote education on recreational diving in the area as well as environmental awareness through water activities and other initiatives. Skopelos Dive Center is based both on the south side of the island- Adrines beach, (Adrina Beach Hotel) in Panormos-, and on the north side, the port of Skopelos. It opens every year, from early May to late October. Equipped with two motorboat dive boats and a professional 4x4, it organizes diving excursions by sea or by land, covering every dive location around Skopelos, but also remote locations. The Diving Center provides educational diving lessons to the first professional stage and First Aid courses "for those who want to learn to dive in a correct and safe manner", as emphatically declare its representatives. Diving in recent shipwrecks, in underwater canyons and steep cliffs, diving from the boat in reefs rich with life, but also in leeward protected waters suitable for a complete novice or exploring the surface (snorkeling) through sensational trails to the countless caves along the shoreline of Skopelos are some of the activities offered, always under the supervision and escort of PADI certified instructors. Another special feature of the area is the National Marine Park, one of the largest protected areas in the Mediterranean with the largest population of the Mediterranean monk seal. The first underwater museums in the region are expected to operate by 2016 as underwater archaeological sites for those who would like to visit, always under the escort of certified divers.

SAILING

V. Maroulis

The coastline of Skopelos is beautiful, while the islands, which are dispersed in its perimeter, are a challenge to explore. Oneday cruises with a sailing boat constitute a unique vacation experience and an ideal method to get to know the region, from a different point of view. You will have the opportunity to experience the unique sense of traveling with the power of the wind, without the noise of the engine. Sailing allows for a very relaxing atmosphere, which usually includes friends, food, drinks and exceptional moments. Discover hidden "treasures", small bays, natural ports, like “Blo”, secluded beaches, which are accessible only by boat and isolated islands. If you have your own boat, you can anchor in one of the organized marinas of the island, in Skopelos' Chora, Neo Klima, Loutraki and Agnontas.

Be a VIP for 1 day

... maximum enjoyment, maximum space and minimum crowds! The Rainbow is a 55ft Atlantic Sailing yacht.

We take a maximum of 15 people including the second Captain Ruth who is from England who will be your hostess too.

Skopelos is famous for its wonderful nature and its picturesque paths. The island's landscape is ideal for hiking. Springs with crystal clear water, the scents of sage and oregano, olive trees, plane trees, cypress trees, pine trees, and oak trees, which you will be able to see throughout the route, will "compensate" you.

MAJESTIC SUNSETS IMPRESSIVE SUNRISES During dusk, Skopelos shows its secret weapon. At Agnontas, Limnonari, Panormos, Milia, Kastani, Chovolo, Elios, and, of course, in Glossa and Loutraki, watch the best sunsets that you have ever seen! You will watch an impressive sunrise at Kastro of Skopelos, at "Pefkias", at "Raches", and from almost all of the northeastern sides of the island. It is worth climbing to the top of "Palouki" mountain at dawn, in order to enjoy the majestic view and the reflection of Skopelos' Chora into the diamondlike sea.

GASTRONOMY Since there are a lot of local dishes and "delicacies" in Skopelos, we remind you of these so that you don't forget something! The crispy, delicious, traditional cheese pie of Skopelos with goat cheese should be first in your preferences. However, you can find the pie in various variations, which are equally tasty, such as hum pie, milk pie, greens pie, onion pie etc. If you love fish, don't miss tasting "grouper stew", with sour plums from Skopelos. If, on the other hand, you prefer meat, then you should definitely taste baby goat of Skopelos in the oven, of the unique "Goat Race of Skopelos", as well as pork with black plums from Skopelos, of the "AZAN" variety. When you leave, take with you traditional sweets, such as "chamalia", which are the sweets of engagements and weddings, marzipan sweet, rozedes, "Avgato" plum spoon sweet, jams without preservatives, mainly made of plums, pine tree honey, pure olive oil, olives, the famous sweet plums of Skopelos, which are baked in wooden ovens, herbs, such as oregano and sage, and, if you are "lucky", local wine and goat cheese.

the worship of Dionysus and praise to nature are revived every year. The season where winter departs and nature becomes reborn, near the end of February and at the beginning of March, Skopelos is filled with songs and wine, the residents take to the streets to attend the custom of "Tranta" and the "Good Masqueraders" or "Bramdes", to dance and laugh without reservations and unwind with all their heart on the last two Sundays of Carnival. On the penultimate Sunday you will see "Tranta", which is a boat frame made by reed. Only men participate. Those men, who constitute the Tranta's crew, are called "Trantarei", their apparel is comical and unkempt and their face is covered in coal and indigo. The crew's mission is to go round the island and to end up in the harbor and throw the boat in the sea. So it goes by every neighborhood where the crew dances while singing satirical songs of carnival, known as "perpaska" which mock reproduction, the widows, the priests and their wives. The women of the neighborhood offer the crew wine and food and the "trantarei" "make fun" of girls among the spectators. The harbor is the end of the route where the tranta is set on fire and thrown in the sea. On the last Sunday you will enjoy "Bramdes" or "Kales". They are named that way because they are dressed in the traditional costumes (Kales) and together with musicians they also go around the island. They usually recreate a wedding ceremony where the bride is portrayed by a man and the groom by a woman. They stop in every neighborhood while dancing and singing lyrics that are hymns to love and nature. Their route resembles a "serenade" which takes place from the one end of Skopelos to the other to sing, to be given wine and rice pudding and dance. These customs give a distinctive note to the island. Skopelos goes back thousands of years. Music and songs from the era of Dionysus echo around the island and everything resembles a myth becoming alive each year.

Klidonas If you are a young, single woman looking for your other half you should definitely be present in Glossa of Skopelos on St- John's eve (23/6)."On St. John's Klidonas, when they jump over the fires, the girls wish to find a good groom". Single girls go to the village's water fountain where they fill a jug with "silent water". They throw an object belonging to them in this jug: an earring, a ring, a button, a bead etc. They bind this vase with a red kerchief and leave it outside all night, under the magic powers of the stars. The next day they all gather around the jug and a child, both whose parents are alive, takes out the objects one by one. For each object an elderly woman recites a poem, the content of which is interpreted as being a prophecy for the future of the girl to whom this object belonged....

ÑÙÌÁÚÊÁ ËÏÕÔÑÁ / ROMAN BATHS

The ancient name of the island was Peparithos. It is said that it was named after the brother of the first settler of Skopelos "Stafylos". The -thos suffix suggests that Skopelos was inhabited since the pre-Hellenic years by the Kares of Asia Minor. Stafylos was of Minoan descent, son of god Dionysus and Ariadne, daughter of the king of Crete, Minoas. With his ship, he reached the cove of Stafylos, which he named after him, and founded his colony. The legend is confirmed by the growing of countless vineyards throughout the island, but mostly by the significant archaeological findings that were discovered at the edge of the homonymous beach, where the tomb and the sword of prince "Stafylos" were found. These findings constitute significant samples of art during the Minoan and the Mycenaean era. During the 8th-7th century BC, the settlement of Stafylos is abandoned, and 3 other cities are developed, Peparithos (nowadays Skopelos), Panermos (nowadays Panormos) and Selinous (nowadays Loutraki). In the 6th-5th century BC, Skopelos is prosperous; it cuts silver coins, and has relationships with cities of the Aegean Sea. It exports the famous "Wine of Peparithos" and olive oil of very good quality. Amphorae from Peparithos have been found in Romania and the Black Sea. The island also participates in the Olympic Games. Indeed, in 569 BC, Agnon, an athlete from Peparithos, won the game of the stadium (road race), and today's bay of Agnon was named after him in order to honor him.

AÃÍÙÍ / AGNON

In 427 BC, according to the testimony of the historian Thucydides, Skopelos is hit by a big earthquake, which is accompanied by a terrible tidal wave (tsunami), due to which many public buildings collapse. During the 4th to the 1st centuries BC, the island is caught in the middle of the dispute between Romans and Macedonians. However, it continues to prosper, it cuts bronze coins, and "the Wine from Peparithos" continues its journey up to the Black Sea, Romania. Aristotle characteristically mentions that "the Wine from Peparithos is an aphrodisiac and it is famous". During Roman times, the name Skopelos is mentioned for the first time, which was probably acquired due to the reefs that surround the island. In the 4th century AD, the era when Christianity was disseminated, the figure of Bishop Riginos dominates. In 363, during the persecutions by Ioulianos, Riginos is murdered. The Church proclaims him a saint. Saint Riginos is the protector of the island (he is celebrated on February 25th). In the 13th century, Skopelos is under the occupation of the Venetian Ghizi Dynasty. After the Fall of Constantinople, it is conquered by the Venetians and in 1453 it is conquered again by the Venetians, who left their influence on names and place names. In 1538, the Island is ruined by Barbarossa, but it seems that it was not completely deserted. During the Turkish rule, Skopelos maintained some self-command, and

this is proven by the coins that it cuts, as well as by the testimonies of travelers, who talk "about a town with numerous population and significant financial strength". Folk tradition, customs and morals are affected significantly, there is also a distinction of social classes, and this did not change even after the Revolution of '21. During the Revolution, the inhabitants of Skopelos participate actively and they offer 35 commercial ships to the cause. Until then, the inhabitants of Skopelos had one of the largest fleets of the Aegean. In the 19th century, a migratory movement of Skopelos' inhabitants to America, Russia and Romania emerges due to poverty. Some of them return rich, others remain in foreign lands forever. In 1940, the epidemic of phylloxera completely destroys the famous vineyards of Skopelos. In 1965, an earthquake affects significantly the lives of the inhabitants, by destroying historical buildings, and the inhabitants of Palio Klima move to Neo Klima. During the '80s, the tourism development of the island begins. The history of Skopelos is imprinted on archaeological findings, place names, folk traditions, on the majestic settlement, on historical monuments, legends, castles, monasteries, the churches with the famous icons, its artists who create unique works, vessels, embroideries (the costume of Skopelos). The proud and rich past of Skopelos lives and exists wherever you look and this is proven by the significant number of archaeological findings. It is worth discovering it.

118 Customs & Ă&#x201D;raditions

The costume of Skopelos is characterized by the demonstration of luxury and expensive materials. It is highly influenced by Byzantine aesthetics, as well as by the renaissance standards of the West. Skopelos' women used to dress, on the one hand, like queens, however, enclosing, on the other hand, their bodies tightly in endless fabric, something that matches perfectly the strict morals, the formalism, the conservatism and the greedy for power character of the inhabitants of Skopelos. "Morko, Volta or Kalo" along with "Stofa", which is differentiated because of the embroidered, handmade hem (in Stofa the hem was woven) constitutes the local, bridal costume of Skopelos. The girls of wealthy families wore this on their wedding day in order to show their financial situation, as well as their social class. However, the women of Skopelos, besides the bridal costume, wore unique costumes in every period of their lives. Thus, married women wore every day a blue dress or "Gerania". Single women wore every day a white long dress. In Glossa, the casual dress was shorter and its fabric was printed, with various flowers. Single women wore a white "kolovoli" as more formal clothing until they got married. In Glossa, the white kolovoli was called "fountoma" and was shorter and fluffier. Engaged girls or brides, who could not afford to make a "Morko", wore a "green-red" dress when they went to church. Finally, mature married women, widows or old ladies wore a black "kolovoli". Local costumes, show signs of the social and financial life of a place, as well as of its morals and customs. What is mainly proven by the bridal costume of Skopelos is that this place experienced a great economic boom due to the big development of maritime trade. Wealthy merchants returned to the island and built two- and three-storey mansions, adorned them with priceless decorations, and, of course, dressed their daughters, as an exhibition of their wealth, like queens!

Yiannis Mpountalas is the best known representative of micro shipbuilding art in Skopelos. His family were shipwrights. His great-great grandfather was a master craftsman in Constanta, his homeland in the Black Sea. He had two shipyards, one in Constanta and one in Braila. The great-grandfather continued the tradition. Later, his grandfather made his own shipyard in America. Upon his return to Skopelos he continued working in shipyards, taking with him his son Triantafyllos, John's father. When the shipyards in Skopelos began to close one after the other, Triantafyllos’ love and passion to build ships made him turn to micro shipbuilding art. Thus, Yiannis Mpountalas, learned from his father and since 1975 has been creating masterpieces of sailing boats. We can see all the details as well as the equipment of a real ship. All the ship models are accurately made, they are replicas of large ships. His last work, VICTORY, an impressive 3 meter long boat, (a museum value ship which was used in the Napoleonic Wars in 1805 and is now in the museum of Portsmouth in England), sets an example. All the ships Yiannis builds are based on his father’s plans and the material used is walnut wood. The construction may take four months but may well last two years. Rigina, Yiannis’ daughter is the new apprentice. She will represent the third generation in the art of micro shipbuilding.

Anthi Valsamaki is a descendent of Giannios Nikolaidis - Chatzistamatis (1800 - 1885), distant cousin of Alexandros Papadiamantis, whom he mentions in one of his stories titled "Chatzopoulos", and was the founder of family tradition. Nikolaidis family donated in 1991 the residence that houses the Folklore Museum of Skopelos. Anthi is a graduate of the Department of Scenography of the Vakalo School and the School of Fine Arts. For her, hagiography is not a profession, but an attitude and essence of life with faith as vital energy, which helps her going on. Her steps in hagiography were led through personal experiences, such as her visits, during childhood, to the Monastery of Saint John the Chrysostom in Naxos. She was also very much influenced by her grandmother, who transferred her "dream" to her, and introduced her to the world of colors. Anthi is one of the few female hagiographers, who have the capacity to illustrate the interior of temples through the "special blessing" of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. She has been working at the Benaki Museum for 25 years as head of the Workshop of Hagiography, which operates in the form of seminars throughout the year. Her favorite work is the icon that depicts the face of the Virgin Mary in five different manifestations of feelings of pain, an icon that "reflects" her own emotions, experiencing the pain that was caused by the death of a much loved person of hers. She has elaborated a study regarding the Akathist Hymn with the hagiographical analyses of its 24 oikoi, and has published books on Byzantine Art, which are found in the Benaki Museum. She mentions that in the traditional families of hagiographers, the impression prevails that the deep theological significance of icons attributes a symbolic character to the materials that are used for their construction.

Nikos Rodios is a unique artist, who continues the significant tradition of his grandfather, his uncle and his father, which begins in 1900. As a potter, he transforms with his hands the soil of Skopelos in beautiful vessels, imprinting on them the delicacy of his soul. His grandfather, Nikos Rodios came to Skopelos in 1900 and his origin was from Kythnos. He worked in Greece and abroad. He set his workshop in Skopelos, at "Gefyraki" position, where it can still be found today. He was the first Greek potter, who was occupied with decorative pottery. The family received an award in year 1930 for the glossiness and the indelible black color of the vessels. He participated in many exhibitions. His most significant distinctions include: the golden award of the exhibition of Bordeaux in 1907, the golden awards of the international exhibitions of Alexandria (Egypt) in 1912, of the international exhibition of Saint Fransis, USA, in 1915, of Paris in 1925, of the International Trade Fair of Thessaloniki in 1929 and 1931, of the prefectural exhibitions of Chalcis, Ermoupolis, Volos, of the A' Pan-Hellenic Exhibition of pottery, of the International Trade Fair of Florence, of the Delphic celebrations and others. The tradition was continued by his two children, Vasilis and Giorgos Rodios, who were honored with 10 International Golden Awards, the Award of the Academy of Athens and many more. Vasilis Rodios was also honored with a state pension. Nikos Rodios is the successor of this tradition (3rd generation) since 1975, using the same technique with the same production means (pedal crank grindstone and furnace with wood), and using the soil of Skopelos. His works can be found in museums and private collections. His daughter, Magda, belongs to the 4th generation of the family potters of black-figure vessels. She also uses the old forms, as well as her own modern ones, with special colors and techniques.

My involvement with the art of photography goes back in the early 90's when together with some friends who shared the same interest decided to join the Center of Photography, in the town of Skopelos. It was a matter of time for this interest to turn into passion. My favourite photographic subject in these recent years has been macro photography, a subject rather unknown to the majority, but, in my eyes, most interesting: special knowledge and equipment are needed along with patience and perseverance to properly enter in the breathtaking microcosm of nature. I rarely shoot the very moment … I am a hunter and a militant photographer with specific missions, always trying to express with a creative manner my personal view on any topic I come across. In the end, the picture that has captured the emotions and the inner feeling of the photographer makes the difference and this is my belief. I really do not have a particular, or a favourite place to shoot…Skopelos is beautiful everywhere…However, there are places such as the Virgin of the Tower and Saint John, on the Castle, that attract more the “clicks” of a camera. I am convinced, Mother Nature suits me best! Eventhough I have been working as a photographer for quite few years now, shooting social events or taking pictures of business property, I do not consider myself a professional photographer. I believe in the magic of the art of photography… money is not my goal… it is this magic I do not want to lose… On the other hand there are people who believe these two can be combined. We are all unique and different… Photography characterizes me as a human being!

My involvement with photography began when I was 14, when I got a small Agfa camera with a 110mm film as a gift. After consuming hundreds of them, I started understanding image, colors and composition. When I was 17, I acquired my first SLR and I began studying deeply the techniques through theory and practice. I am professionally occupied with photography since 2007. My sectors are weddings, advertising photographs of hotels and businesses, postcards and tourist diaries. Besides these, my themes focus on night landscapes and anthropocentric topics. My favorite images are all those that manage to strongly transfer the emotion of the moment to the observer. The correct management of light, the particular composition of the topic, the perspective and the emotion -positive or negative- that in the end stems from the image, are those characteristics that will highlight a photograph. Nowadays, with the capacities provided by digital photography, the self -characterization "professional" photographer creates an illusion to everyone. As in life itself, we are all judged by the result, and the final judge is always the observer. Finally, a question that needs to be deeply discussed is whether artistic expression through image should fall into terms and rules or be characterized by the complete freedom of the photographer to create…

Virginia is a versatile person. She is a member of the cultural community of Glossa. Çer husband, Giorgos Rousetis, have created the online blog "Events of our Homeland". She has a flower shop, where she makes beautiful compositions and creations. However, her big talent is shown in the miniatures of local costumes that she manufactures herself, with which she dresses small dolls. From a very early age, she had been watching her mother, who was an "embroideress", making embroideries and handiworks. Her entire house was “decorated” with embroidered pillows and slippers, Therefore, how could she not love folk art living in this environment? Growing up, she decided to make purses with the embroidery of the costume of Skopelos, desiring in this way to keep alive a custom that tends to disappear, and then she ended up dressing small dolls with the local costumes of Glossa and Skopelos in general. This technique is not simple, but it is certainly time-consuming, since all the parts of the costume are handmade, but she mentions that "when you love what you are doing, you overcome the difficulties in order to finally reach the desirable result". She spends her free time occupied with activities that concern tradition, such as being a member of and a dancer in the dancing group of Glossa. She mentions that as years pass by many elements of the traditional way of life have been altered, but the conservation of the elements of tradition is very significant both for her and her fellow countrymen in Glossa, and constitutes an integral part of their existence. Tradition is their "treasure" and all together they try with love, and most of love with respect, to preserve it and deliver it to the younger generations.

The Mayor and the city council entrusted him with the presidency of the Tourism Committee, which is responsible for the design, the proposals and the action plan for the development and promotion of tourism in the island of Skopelos. The Municipality remains the executive axis of implementation of its proposals. In his opinion, there is no "Mamma Mia" model for an island with such history and natural beauty; this is not enough. Certainly, the advertizing that took place is a significant chapter, but the script of a Hollywood movie neither was nor is the development model of the island. On the contrary, it needs to be based on scientific analysis methods, and to be placed finally in public discussion, since it concerns everyone. "We all feel the need to determine the identity that will lead to specific models of development, providing the best to this blessed land. The "delimitation" that will be implemented by the Municipality as a single tourism policy will be determined based on the proposals that will arise from the analysis of data, and after it is placed in public dialogue and consultation. For the time being, the delimitation is necessarily performed through the few capacities that are provided by the very limited resources of the Municipality, and which is almost suffocating. Tourism concerns everyone, whose financial welfare depends on it at a lower or higher degree, and this is why all organizations should collaborate. The immediate plans of the committee include the redefinition of the island's identity with wide acceptance. The building of the promotion of the island to foreign markets, international exhibitions, with participation of the professionals of the area, with invitations to journalists and foreign organization, and above all by conserving the uniqueness of the area, by respecting traditions and the historic course of the island in the centuries".

Giorgos Michelis was born and raised in Glossa, Skopelos. Despite his professional success, he remains a very approachable and willing person. He studied Economic sciences in Boston, and taught in Regis University. His big love for the guitar (self-taught) and singing, led him to form at the same time a group named "Contemporary Greek Ensemble". In 1984, he returned to Greece and worked for the Commercial Bank at the Directorate of financial studies, for Egnatia Bank as executive Vice-president, at "Onasio" Cardiac Surgery Center as General Manager, again for the Commercial Bank as General Manager and Vice-president, and as Managing Director of Bank Post, a subsidiary of Eurobank in Serbia. From 2011 to 2014, he served as Mayor of Skopelos. The two big projects that were performed during his tenure were the pedestrianization of the entrance of the city of Skopelos and the asphalting of the rural road of EliosTzilali. The integration of thirteen developmental projects throughout the island in the NSRF was also very significant. His encouragement to the new Municipal Authority is "that the projects that have been integrated in the NSRF should proceed as soon as possible". He believes that there are margins of development in Skopelos, which is a land gifted with so many competitive advantages. What needs to be achieved is the excellent collaboration between inhabitants, organizations and municipal authority. In addition, fresh ideas, bold initiatives and international projection. Everything else will come. Nowadays, he is the Chairman of the Financial Stability Fund, which is the main shareholder of the four systemic Greek banks. The main aim of the Fund is to maintain the capital adequacy of Greek banks, to observe competition rules in the banking system and to safeguard the interests of the public sector, which arise from our participation in the share capital of the banks.

She was charmed by the traditional way of life, nature, and the beauty of the island. Two years later she acquired her own farm and settled there until today. Hiking with her dog, she discovered parts of stone paths or cobbled roads, which are lush and hidden. Thus, every time she went hiking, she cleared one of them. She collected information about them from the locals, and like in a big puzzle, she united the parts and wrote a guide book, so that everyone could enjoy them. All these years, she tried to keep the paths open with personal initiative, until she collaborated with the "Workaway" volunteers. Every year, during the months of May, June, September and October, she herself hosts volunteers, who want to get to know the way of life in Greek islands, resulting in voluntary work and maintenance of the paths. This year is the first time that she found support from the Skopelos Hoteliers Association, which offers accommodation and meals to the volunteers. She emphasizes that there are many interesting routes in Skopelos for those interested in flora and fauna, history, beautiful landscapes as well as for those who want to escape from the usual. Nowadays, hikers from all European countries come to the island, exchange their information with others, and if the paths are kept open, then there will certainly be a bigger interest by other hiking teams too. In the future, she aims to open paths and cobbled roads that have been closed for more than 40 years.

Machi Klonari is the young, bright and active Deputy Mayor of the Municipality of Skopelos. The great love she has for the island and not the "title" was the motive that urged her to get involved with the public affairs. Having many objectives to implement and many innovative ideas, she particularly emphasizes on the twofold "education - culture". She herself would not like to see the island as a tourism factory in the future, therefore she works hard so that the island's traditional, picturesque character and its quality remain intact.

Mr. Christos Patsis is the last popular craftsman of knives or else "knife maker" of Skopelos. This art exists in the island for at least 200 years and goes from generation to generation. Some of the old knife makers were Panagiotis Asteriadis, Thanasis Georgiou, and Giannis Lemonis, while the oldest that he remembers was Giorgos Koutrelos. His zeal and his persistence are what urged him, when he was still a small child, to "steal" the art from an older craftsman, who kept it a closely guarded secret! So, when the old "knife maker" opened the window of his workshop, Mr. Christos watched his moves one by one, from the reflection on the glass. Ever since and without having stopped for 65 years, he creates the famous knives of Skopelos. The materials that he uses are stainless steel for the blades, male goat or goat horn for the handle, and pine or cypress wood for the case. The manufacture means he uses are the furnace, the grinder, the vise and the shapers. The procedure is time-consuming, and he needs at least a day that this is the reason why young people don't want to learn the art. After strong persistence, he taught his son, Pantelis Patsis, the art, "so that it is not lost", as he says. Every knife is unique and he engraves on them his name and the name of the island. The small knives of Mr. Christos with the word "Skopelos" on them have traveled all over the world!

"The comparative advantage that Skopelos has as opposed to other Greek tourist destinations is Skopelos itself, which everything that entails, endless pine forests, turquoise beaches, the traditional settlement, archeology, countless churches, tradition, customs, culture, hospitable people and of course natural and infinite beauty. It is therefore not by chance that the island of Skopelos was chosen from tenths of other Greek islands for shooting the film Mamma Mia!; it is not by chance that Skopelos was declared the greenest island in the Mediterranean area in 1997; it is not by chance that Skopelos ranks among the 10 first international destinations for holding wedding ceremonies. The Municipality's future movements will be the participation in international and national tourism fairs for the promotion and distinction of the area and the local producers of traditional products. Meanwhile we are working on a future coastal shipping link with Thessaloniki, as well as lower fares for transport by vessels. It is definitely hard but not impossible."

Vasilis is the most popular and beloved "Chairman" of the island, as he is at the wheel of the most successful and largest Club of Skopelos. He is the chairman of the historical Sports Club of Skopelos which was founded in 1987. It has 4 departments of academies (football, basketball, volleyball and track) and the most important part according to him, which is the 255 athletes, which he considers a record-number. With a great sense of responsibility from this honored place, he makes an effort, as he claims, to get over the difficulties and together with the rest of the Board of Directors to be at their best. The excellent cooperation, the common goal, the allocation of tasks, choosing able people as well as connecting the Club with the local society of Skopelos is the recipe for success. This recipe brought the best out of the Football Club of Skopelos which was crowned the Champion of Magnesia as well as the organization of the 2nd Tournament of the Panhellenic Beach Volley Championship Masters 2015. He believes that local entities ought to pay particular attention to this arising new form of alternative tourism, sports tourism. The well-built sports facilities in Skopelos constitute an incentive and according to a study of the University of Thessaly, Skopelos is the ideal place for the development of sports tourism. Noteworthy examples are the organization of the Beach Volley Tournament and the sailing races. A tip for the youth is to be near to sports, because "when a young person does not work out, a gap is created which can lead to wrong paths with regrettable consequences for the person itself and society".

Giorgos Xintaris is one of the most known and representative expressors of rembetika songs. He sings and plays bouzouki since 1972 in the historic store of Athens "Rembetic History". He became widely known thanks to his participation in the series "The Minor of Dawn". He remembers that ever since he was a child in Skopelos the songs that he listened to on gramophones and jukeboxes were rembetika. These sounds urged him to get involved with this music himself. "Skopelos and rembetic music go together", he says, since here there are many and good expressors. Rembetic

music for him is a road that addresses affection, love, immigration, the sea, and thus he believes that anyone can find in rembetic music something that expresses them. He has been characterized as "the last amanes singer", a title that he does not accept easily, but he asserts that amanes is a difficult genre and a personal issue for the artist, because he experiences by himself its "three minutes", and "amanes is the taksim of the voice". During summer, you can find him in his "temple", or as his friend Thomas Korovinis named it, at "the Herodion of Skopelos". He refers to his store, "Anatoli", which is located at the top of the Castle. Up there, every night he performs a "concert" with his sons, who follow his steps. He created the store from scratch, with much sweat and toil, and he considers it to be his "child". Now he feels full. He has a good family, two amazing children, both as persons and as musicians, he sings in the store that he created with artistry, and cooks in it with love for the people, who have been supporting him all these years so warmly.

134 Wedding in Skopelos

The grand fame that the island obtained after the projection of the "MAMMA MIA!" movie was what gave the impetus to numerous couples from all over the world to choose the "Lady" of the North Sporades as a destination for their wedding ceremony, the magnificent island of Skopelos. The scenes from the movie show the incredible natural beauties of the island, as well as its picturesque insular character, creating idyllic images, and being the center of attraction for intended spouses, as well as for simple visitors, who wish to wander around the famous locations. On the top of visitors from abroad, who want to get married in Skopelos, are the British, as well as people from more remote places, such as Canada, Brazil, and even Peru. The majority of wedding ceremonies are civil marriages, providing to the intended spouses the flexibility to choose more romantic and idyllic locations, such as sandy beaches and coasts, such as Amarantos, Agnontas, Milia, and Kastani. Many are those who choose "Ai Giannis at Kastri", the church where the “wedding” of the movie took place, as well as "Panagitsa tou Pyrgou" (Virgin Mary of the Fortress), which is located at the old port of Chora of Skopelos, but also the other parishes of the island. Wedding ceremonies "by the wave of the sea" predominate, offering to the couple unique experiences, by exchanging wedding vows barefoot on the pebbles or the sand, with the exquisite sunsets and the blue sea as background. The wedding beach party that follows, with non-stop dancing, wet wedding gowns, torches, lanterns and countless summer "shots" remind of the "MAMMA MIA" movie at a significant degree, and leave to the guests and the newlyweds unforgettable moments of a "dreamy" wedding. Wedding tourism in Skopelos is increased spectacularly. Already by the month of July 45 weddings, civil and religious, have taken place on the entire island, while by the end of October it is estimated that another 40 will take place.

A traditional wedding at Agios Ioannis at Kastri Observing the letter of traditional customs, Christos Palaiologos and Elisabeth Makaratzi united their lives at Agios Ioannis at Kastri, and, indeed, before the producers of Mamma Mia discovered the chapel! The first dance was ballos, while the ecclesiastical ritual followed the Byzantine standard. The wedding had a huge impact on the local society, which, united, honored the couple with its presence, while its overtone is still maintained, making a good example for the next couples, who will wish to observe tradition in their wedding.

If you are up for a "quick" swim, choose the beaches which are near Chora, at its northern side. Follow the ring road and you will find Glyfoneri, a beautiful beach, as well as Glysteri, with big stones, which is the old shipyard. "Ammos" sandy beach, which is in the new port, is ideal for those who don't have a means of transportation. For the "main course", follow the road network, which begins from the new port. The first that you will reach is the picturesque sandy beach of Stafylos. Towards its end, cross the path and you will get to the exotic Velanio, where a rock splits the coast in half for more… private situations. At a small distance, Amarantos and Agnontas, the picturesque port, with wonderful fish taverns, and next to it Limnonari with its wild beauty. Then follows Panormos with crystal clear waters, where the second ancient city of Skopelos was, and immediately after this, Antrines, and next to them, the biggest beach of the island, Milia, an exotic beach with small pebbles and transparent waters, surrounded by pine trees and rocks. On its opposite there is the island of Dasia. Then follows Kastani, which is nowadays the most famous beach of Skopelos, because of the shootings of "Mamma Mia!". You will find a few smaller beaches till you reach the majestic Chovolos, at a small distance before the large beach of Elios. You will find smaller beaches on your way to Loutraki (the secluded majestic beach of Agia Varvara is not far away). It is also worth discovering the beaches of Glossa, at the north side of the island, which are characterized by wild beauty and pacifying "seclusion": Perivoliou, Chondrogiorgi, Pethamenis, Agios Ioannis (which was named after "Ai-Giannis (Saint John) at Kastri", and is considered to be the attraction of the island, the symbol of the "Mamma Mia!" movie) as well as other small and inaccessible beaches, which will reward you, however, with their crystal clear waters and the tranquility that they offer.

Mother Nature has divided the beach in two parts, with a rock. The left side, which is the largest, is the most active due to the beach bar- named after the coast - which also provides water sports. The right side is rather quiet. There is a bus stop at Milia. The distance to the beach is a 500 m. walk from the main road. Tip: At the end of the right side, there is a forest path that leads to the Kastani beach. On the way you will find small, beautiful secluded beaches.

AGIOS KONSTANTINOS OR GLYFONERI In order to reach this beautiful, sandy beach you should follow the ring road. The amazing sunrise and the clear waters will compensate the early birds and so will breakfast and/or lunch since this is an organized area. It is the best choice if you want to stay in the main town (2.6 km).

GLYSTERI You pass the road going to Glyfoneri. Drive safely as the road is narrow and winding. Soon after crossing the olive grove, you will find yourself in a small, rocky bay, with big and small pebbles. Next to it, the cave of "Tripiti", accessible only by boat. Do not be surprised if you see red goats -a local species- going downhill to drink sea water. Back in time and until 1960 a shipyard occupied the area. It is not organized; take water with you and a beach umbrella.

VATHIAS Follow the road to Glysteri, turn left at the intersection, where a signpost indicating "To Kalogeros". Then, the narrow, whirling path will bring you to a small, sandy bay, a calm and quiet beach.

The SPORTS CLUB OF SKOPELOS made its appearance in 1987, and it is the first football association that was established in Skopelos. Its first formal participation in the championship of the C' Football Union Association of Thessaly was in 1992-1993. Since its first participation until 2012 it had a stable presence, playing for 22 years in the championships of the A' (5 participations), the B' (15 participations) and the C' (2 participations) league. In 2012-2013, it did not participate for the first time due to the crisis and financial problems, but it returned during the next period. In period 2000-2001, the team enjoyed its greater distinction by winning the championship in the B' Local category of Magnesia, and it was announced superchampion, by winning in the big final the 1st team of the B' Group, Aetos Kerasias, with a score of 6-0 in a neutral stadium and with Mr. Demiris Nikos as coach. Skopelos has won 4 championships during its history: 1st Championship (period 1992-1993), C' Local Category (coaches: Plainos, Karathanasis, Mpeltzenitis), 2nd Championship (period 2000-2001), B' Local Category (coach: Demiris Nikos), 3rd Championship (period 2008-2009), C' Local Category (coach: Kariofyllis Dimitris), 4th Championship (period 2014-2015), B' Local Category (coach: Glykos Ioannis). The aim of the team for last year's championship was to ascend to the A' category, which it managed to achieve as champion. The characteristic of the team is that it always leaned on players from the island or on football players, who came and resided permanently on the island. It never leaned on or pursued transfers for players outside the island. Mr Glykos Ioannis was the team's coach for the previous period 2014-2015. Christinis Lambros was the Coach in the Academies of the team. He is a trainer and a TEFAA (Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Science) graduate.

We will talk about these departments in our next issue.

Events of our Homeland (Dromena tou topou mas) The blog was created by Giorgos Rousetis, in Glossa, Skopelos, aiming to record and objectively publish everything that is related to the island of Skopelos, emphasizing on the history, tradition and rich cultural activity specifically of Glossa. It started in November 2013 and immediately acquired many readers, particularly from other municipalities, as well as people who live permanently abroad. It has rich photographical material since 2005, videos of events, and, of course, the unique texts of our valuable partner, father Constantinos Kallianos, which have to do with tradition, as well as with the unknown aspects of the history of our island. The blog rises in the appreciation of many readers, and acquires new friends all the time, who identify the "different aspect" that is offered in the island of Skopelos.
