Agnanti is a traditional island restaurant in Glossa, on enchanting Skopelos. Faithful to authentic Greek cuisine, we offer carefully prepared dishes with our own family recipes, old and new, that we have been following with affection for many decades. Agnanti is situated in a unique location that commands a wonderful view of the Sporadic archipelagos. From our high veranda, under the cool vine-arbour, one’s gaze reaches Evia and Skiathos. As we take in the wonderful natural beauty of this boundless seascape, our other senses are stimulated by the fragrances of the kitchen and the flavours of the appetizers and entrees. We love this place. And we invite you to love it as well. Come and drink a glass of wine, ouzo, tsikoudia with us. We will prepare for you dishes that have touched many souls. As you leave, we are confident that you will take away with you the most delicious flavours of Agnanti.

A year ago, with a small group of people, we undertook the realisation of a project, which, as some may already know, is costly and requires particular skills, and that is a magazine about the island: a magazine to describe, in the best of ways, the value of Skopelos as a tourist destination as well as showcase its culture, civilization and traditions. From the beginning, we wanted it to be a collective action and we have made enormous efforts to rally together the "production" units, such as institutions, unions, associations, enterprises, government administration bodies as well as individuals who could contribute with their work. Many - most of them were responsive and this has made us very happy. The magazine has been realised, it has admittedly achieved its purpose, to a great extent, and it has promoted Skopelos across the world. For the second year in a row, DISCOVER SKOPELOS is the best ambassador of the island in Greece and abroad. Thousands of readers "hold" Skopelos in their hands and travel among its beauties through the pictures and the text. Our joy is great and so is our "thank you" to the businessmen that have renewed their support, this year, as well as to the new ones that have joined our company and, by doing so, have created added value for their business. Enjoy the tour! S.P.

It is mainly supported by the participation of people, who cease to be just viewers in the events, and enrich their experiences beyond their tourist habits. For three days, 13 events will be materialized, which are divided in three themes, creation, exploration and entertainment (www.skopeloswefest.com).

The Amateur Observatory of Skopelos The amateur "Kentavros" observatory in Skopelos, which is unique in Greece, is an object of admiration for the friends of stars. Giorgos Michail, who lives and works on the island, created with much effort, but more artistry, an amateur observatory, which he equipped with many telescopes of various sizes. From time to time he has organized "star nights" at the waterfront of Skopelos with high turnout of people, aiming at the popularized dissemination of Astronomy to the public. Ever since, the inhabitants of Skopelos, as well as visitors, have the opportunity to observe the night sky, to see explosions in the sun's atmosphere, with the two specialized solar telescopes, to photograph the Moon and the planets and to listen to the sun's radio emission through the solar radio telescope, which records solar activity. Fans of this field have the opportunity to experience "star tourism", staying at the tourist accommodation (with a 50% discount), which is in the area surrounding the observatory.

My Skopelos My Skopelos is the generous hand of God, who endowed it with all the jewels of nature. Lush mountains, slopes full of pine trees, which end up by the sea, clear waters, sunsets and sunrises. For me, Skopelos includes the modest and aristocratic beauty of the costume of Skopelos, its local products, its morals and customs. My Skopelos is colored with emotions. With the sunrise, the monastery of Evangelistria, which stands opposite Chora and greets me good morning, the mild sea breeze, the smell of the pine tree, the smiley people. It is the pride I felt for the wonderful past. But it is first of all its people… Those who maintain the morals, the customs and the character of the island. My Skopelos is the result of collaboration between God and man. Man, who looks up high and wants to resemble Him, reach Him. It is a godly heaven on earth.

THE TOWN OF SKOPELOS
Photo: George Michail
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 town We will follow three routes in order to get to know the town of Skopelos. We will walk all along the waterfront, then climbing up towards the Castle we will "snuggle" in the narrow alleys of Chora, and finally we will take the car to go a little further.

THE NEW PORT AND ´AMMOS´ The new port is your starting point for the beaches, the other villages and the ring road which passes over the main town. Ships and cars come and go all day and night. The taxis and the buses are right there. Right across are the famous Square "Platanos" and the grill houses. Along the harbor, you will find smart coffee shops, picturesque taverns, tourist shops, patisseries, bakeries -don't forget to taste the unique Skopelos “tyropita”(cheese pie)- pharmacies, markets and the cinema "Orpheus" -where several events are organized. The area of the new port forms a bustling center, with intense activity and movement, where you can find everything. Crossing the esplanade you will find Ammos, the beach where on July 17,18 and 19, 2015 the National Championship Beach Volley Masters took place. Along the beach, you will come across several suggestions for diner and coffee making the main town your background. 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.
FROM THE OLD PORT TO THE CASTLE The old port is the ideal place to walk. 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

At the edge of the port, 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. The folklore museum of Kosmas family, is located exactly above the tavern of "Kyratso", on the second floor and you can visit it. It hosts the folklore collection of the family, which dates back over two and a half centuries, where, besides the other exhibits, you can also get a picture of how an old house of Skopelos was. 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, 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 cobbled street 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 overlooking 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.
A WALK IN THE COBBLED STREETS 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, S. Paraskevas

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.

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 town from the ancient times until today. Lower down, to the port, quaint shops and bars form, in their own way, the captivating maze, with the people strolling loose only to perfect the picture. Continue wandering and if you feel lost, just walk down and you will find yourself again at the port.
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 celebration, 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.

KYRATSO’S KITCHEN Kosma family welcomes you to a beautiful new area, in the old port, which keeps the 30 year-old tradition of the renowned tavern in Glysteri. Since 1986, Kyratso's name, the family's mother, has been linked with authentic tastes from the Greek cuisine, such as sea bass stifado, the best fish soups, wonderful lobster pastas and the wild goat with prunes from their own produce. The smiles and mama's cuisine is what distinguishes this tavern. The cuisine is recommended by the most famous chefs, such as Jamie Oliver, as one of the best in the world, something which justifies the many visits from the international jet set. Repeated clients for 30 years and celebrities from the whole world come to Kyratso's Kitchen in order to taste this simple and traditional "something"; because, as Kyratso says, "the secret of success in food is love, dedication and pure ingredients". The tavern was awarded in 2016 with the COSMOPOLIS FINEZZA - GROUP award.

Anna Aivazoglou, with the many-year experience in the sector of dining, as well as with the knowledge she acquired by her stay for many years in France, has managed to evolve the Greek traditional cuisine with elements of the cuisines of Istanbul and Armenia, from which it originates. 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.

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 hotels, 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.

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.

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.

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. 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. First stop at the square of Panaghia Eleftherotria. Just opposite are the schools where the summer cultural festivities take place and, also, the traditional dance festival. 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 automati-

cally 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 “unseen”. 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.

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 “Katakalou”. 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.

Õïu can also see "Pyrgoi" (Towers) at the northern side of Glossa and the Lighthouse at "Gourouni" cape, 10 km. away from Glossa.

Gianna Efstathiou - Dolphin of Skopelos She has been working in Skopelos since 1990, in the Tourism Industry and, in 2002, she opened her own tourist agency. She has chosen Skopelos "for the pine-tree forest that blends with the sea and charms even the most demanding of visitors, for the traditions, the tastings, the entertainment, the small taverns and the sophisticated bars in the small streets, where visitors can enjoy their drink or do window shopping and admire the architecture of Skopelos town." She is of the opinion that, in the last few years, tourist services have greatly improved. "In general, 50% of tourists in the Sporades is represented by the British market. Scandinavians, Dutch, Italians and, in more recent years, people from the Balkans follow...Skopelos has all the requirements in order to become an established tourist destination of good quality. Apart from the sun and sea, Greece also offers hospitality and safety and this is the most important thing today! "

Katerina Dinou The authentic "diva" of the Greek music scene from Skopelos Katerina is a singer and a songwriter. She was born in Glossa, Skopelos. She lives in Athens, but in summer, she always returns to the island. "Glossa is my point of reference, my people, my beautiful homeland." She studied to become a pharmacist, but music was the one that won her heart, as it was already evident since her childhood. She grew up in a house filled with music, playing with her brother, who is also an exceptional musician. Her father played the bouzouki and her mother used to sing. "My parents' musical stimuli have been an important education for me." She has released four full albums and a single, she has collaborated with important composers and renowned performers and she has been awarded a golden disc for the verses she has written. For her, singing is the most spontaneous, direct and authentic way in which she expresses herself. Having "everything will go well and nothing is for granted" as her motto, she doesn't plan her future; she takes the present moment and adapts it to her own liking. She enriches the stimuli of the moment with music and verses, which then get off ground...

The charmers of the sea Neil and Yvonne came to Glossa 12 years ago, from a town of England named Stafford. They fell in love with the village of Glossa and bought a house which needed renovation. The renovation, though, was delayed and they decided to do it themselves. "We have chosen Glossa because it reminds us of traditional Greece. It is built on the slope of a hill and it can take pride in the wonderful view towards Skiathos, the stunning sunsets and its welcoming inhabitants." What charmed them were the colours: the green of the forest, the white of rocks, the blue green sea and the relaxed way of life. They teach canoe-kayak and do tours around the breathtaking coasts of Skopelos. At the same time, they also give free lessons to the local children.

Jill is the associate director of the Skopelos Foundation for the Arts, which hosts American academic programmes, workshops, professionals and artists. She first came to Skopelos in 2000, when her mother founded an arts institute on the island. She fell in love with the island and its people and, when asked if she wanted to work with her mother, she said yes! "I returned to the US, sold everything and came back to Skopelos". The Foundation organizes the Skopelos Film Festival for Youths (SIFFY) every year. The artists and the producers visiting the island feel that they are in paradise: "I have never met such open, honest and hospitable people before. It's the people that kept me here all these years".

Prodromos Kathiniotis Prodromos is one of the most popular and recognizable faces in the history of reality shows of the private television stations. In 2001, there was no local that didn't tune in so as to watch "their own child" in one of Big Brother's episodes. He exploited this publicity in the best of ways: he earned a career in the music industry releasing three albums, the first of which, entitled "The first game", is gold, with 20,000 copies sold. The song "My Skopelos, a magical island" is the hallmark and anthem of the island. At the same time, he made many public appearances, gave many concerts in different localities in Greece and took part, from 2006-2009, in the show "Greece plays", spreading laughter and fun. He now lives in Skopelos with his wife Aleka, where he runs, together with his brother, the restaurant "AKTAION PRODROMOS", which offers fresh seafood and Greek Mediterranean traditional food. The locals still view Prodromos as "their own child", since, alongside his publicity in the private television stations, Skopelos was also promoted.

Maria Kosma - "Kyratso's Kitchen" Maria grew up in the family business of "Palio Karnagio", which was run by her parents in Glysteri. In the last three years, the business was transferred to the Old Port of Skopelos and renamed as "Kyratso's Kitchen". Maria is there to welcome guests: "You can find souvlaki and mousaka everywhere, but you can only find sea bass stifado and baby goat with prunes from our own farm at Kyratso's". She is married and she has two children. In winter, she occupies herself with theatre: "we stage plays and this is revitalizing. I may not be an actress, but I am happy with my family and my job. Interaction with people satisfies me. We offer pure, traditional tastes. Famous people visiting Skopelos come to Kyratso's tavern in order to taste her renowned recipes." Maria has succeeded in making her kindness and smile the hallmark of her business. "The customers are sacred. They work all year round and come to spend their money here. It is your obligation to treat them in the best of ways and to make them happy".

She first came to Skopelos, from the Netherlands in 1986, for holidays with her parents. Ever since then, she kept coming here regularly, and, in 2007, she met her husband and started planning her own "big Greek fat wedding" in Skopelos. In the Netherlands, she works as a journalist, and also, her wedding marked the beginning of a new career in wedding planning, since the photographs she displayed in public sparked the interest of many couples to be married. English couples topped the list and Swedish, Russian, Australian as well as Greek couples followed. Daphne believes that Skopelos has a charm; the sea, the people, the relaxed way of life hold a piece of her heart.

She studied Library Science and she speaks four languages. She first came to Skopelos for holidays in 1994, she met her husband here and, two years later, she moved to the island permanently. "It was wonderful that I had the opportunity to live in a country with a different culture. Skopelos is still a place with traditions, which must be kept. The beauty of nature, the sea, the villages, the monuments, everything is fantastic. But most of all I love the people; their best feature is the way they treat others. I love that." She is the mother of two children and president of the Parents' and Guardians' Association of the High School of Skopelos and she works at a real estate office. "I am passionate about working with information and people". Daphne is a co-organizer of the International Film Festival for Youth ‘SIFFY’ and she also manages the website skopelosnews.wordpress.com.

Giannis and Lina Nasta
Two young entrepreneurs
Giannis is from Skopelos and Lina is from Volos, but this fact did not prevent them from being together. Lina moved to the island: "I came here to be with Giannis. I like the lifestyle here, it's quiet." Giannis, father of one child named Dimitrakis, from an early age, has been involved with football and traditional dances and he has recently been elected to participate in the administrative council of the Athletic Club of Skopelos as Head of the football team. In Skopelos, they opened the tavern "Stou Dimitraki". "My parents had their own business, an ouzeri, which no longer exists; therefore, we decided with Lina to start anew, the two of us", as Giannis says. In the tavern "Stou Dimitraki", Giannis and Lina serve appetizers by the sea. Lina mentions that "it is difficult to be a businessman, but if you love what you do, you always find a way to do it".
Thodoris and Antonis Xintaris ‘The Rebetes’ Thodoris and Antonis are two young men with a passion for rebetika songs, which they turned into a job, in one of the most well-known and must taverns in Skopelos. They grew up with one of the most famous rebetes, their father, Giorgos Xintaris. From an early age, he used to take them with him in the ouzeri "Anatoli", which he has been running in Skopelos, since 1982. In the beginning, they used to accompany him in singing and, then, they joined in with musical instruments. They spend their winters in Athens and their summers in their "Ithaca", the tavern "Anatoli", to play rebetika and other folk songs and to transmit their passion to the people that every night climb up the steps of "Kastro" in Skopelos, in order to listen to them, to gaze at the Aegean Sea, to savour tasty bites and to enjoy themselves.

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. 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.

This is the third harbor of Skopelos island (8 km. from town) where most fishing boats tie up. Right next to it a most picturesque pebbled beach in the arms of a pine tree forest. It is organized with beach umbrellas and sun beds. An ideal place for sea food, fresh fish and ouzo.

The small pebbles, the clear turquoise waters and the small rocks scattered in the sea are some of its characteristics. Opposite, a pine covered island, called "Dasia". 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 - you can also enjoy water sports. 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.

Leaving Elios behind, heading to Glossa, you will see a sign leading to Armenopetra (26.1 km. from the town of Skopelos). Turn left and drive carefully because the road is narrow and sloping. Get ready to spend your day on a beautiful beach where the rock on your left has the leading role. The view is fascinating. West, you will find the smaller pebbled beaches of Karkatzouna and Kalives. The area is not organized.

The magical underwater world! We discover the hidden beauties of Skopelos, together with diving instructor Kostas Danis and Skopelos Dive Center 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 islandAdrines 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.

Sea trade and shipbuilding developed in the 17th century, when the people of Skopelos started building their ships, in order to export their products (wine and oil), to experience different ways of life and customs and to take them back to the island, thus influencing the culture of Skopelos. They built ships in shipyards and brought their goods to the ports of Russia, Italy, Trieste, Marseille and the Black Sea, defying pirates. In the 18th century, the navy of Skopelos had at its disposal one of the greatest fleets in the Aegean. In 1821, the people of Skopelos placed the entire fleet at the disposal of the War of Greek Independence. The bell in the Church of the Birth of the Christ is a gift of Alexios Orlov to the people of Skopelos, for their victory in the Chesma sea battle. They worked hard and built enviable ships once again, but they didn't manage to create the fleet they had before the Greek Revolution of 1821. The remaining boat carpenters stayed true to the traditional ways of building boats and, as a result, the prices were not competitive. Tourism brought the banning of boatyards. Shipbuilders became either sailors or they resorted to model shipbuilding. They built small model ships in order to keep their dream of travelling alive.

The job of fishermen is difficult and unpredictable; "we get on the fishing boat and we don't know if we will come back", as the fisherman Evangelos Diagoumas states; "the reward that the sea gives us is peace and fresh fish". On the island there used to be 70 fishermen, now, there are 10. "Young people are not involved with fishing. The cost of petrol and especially the damage inflicted on the fishing nets by dolphins, seals and turtles is inestimable. Nevertheless, difficulties give way to the freedom that wandering in the sea offers", as the fisherman Vasilis Kourkouliotis says. Everyday, they wash the fishing boat, prepare the fishing nets and they are informed on the weather. They know the sea as their neighbourhood. They heave up anchor, collect the ropes and they begin their voyage to the end of the world. They throw the nets and they wait for the fish in order to get paid. "The sea is an unexplored mystery, but in it, the soul finds peace", as the fisherman Antonis Patras says. In Skopelos, there are all kinds of fish. According to the equipment that one has, they choose the kind that they will fish. They collect the nets, remove the fish and they give them to the people that come down to the port in the morning, in order to buy, as well as to the restaurants, in summer. The fishermen of Skopelos grow old in the sea, to which they are attached with longing, as if there were sea water flowing in their veins. They live with the stress of the catch and rough seas, a small daily wage, which, many times, is hard to earn. Nevertheless, the sea also gives them joys: "in 1992, I was fishing in Glyfa and a 120 kilo fish appeared in front of me; great satisfaction and great reward", as Vasilis Kourkouliotis remembers. For fishermen, the sea is an "enchantress"; it is impossible for them to be separated from her.

A glance in History 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". Stafylos was of Minoan descent, son of god Dionysus. With his ship, he reached the cove of Stafylos, 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. In 427 BC, according to the testimony of the historian Thucydides, Skopelos is hit by a big earthquake, 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. 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". 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.

The "beacons" of Orthodoxy The profound faith of the people of Skopelos is reflected in the large number of churches and monasteries scattered on the island, which are taken care of with reverence and respect by the inhabitants, who scrupulously maintain their religious tradition. There are over 300 churches and chapels and 24 monasteries, including three Byzantine ones.

In Skopelos town, there are about 40 churches and 4 parishes. The church of the "Birth of Christ" is the cathedral. The church of the "Presentation of the Virgin Mary", located on top of the rock, at the old port of Skopelos, is the distinctive hallmark of Skopelos. The "Diocese of Skopelos" is also worth mentioning, as it was intended to be the See of the bishop of Skopelos, but it was left unfinished. The presence of such a great number of churches and monasteries is explained by father Konstantinos Kallianos: "The great number of monasteries and churches present on the island can be traced back to the flourishing economy that the island had in the 17th and 19th centuries, thanks to merchant shipping, as well as to the role of Mount Athos, through its estates, which survive up until the present day. Equally important was the existence of saints on the island, since, in the 4th century, we have the presence as well as the martyrdom of Saint Riginos, the first bishop of Skopelos".
Some of the most important monasteries that are worth mentioning The Holy Monastery of Saint Riginos, patron saint of the island, is located about 2 km. North-West off the town of Skopelos. According to an inscription, it was built in 1728. The modern-day church was built during the 1960s, on top of the hill where the holy relic was buried. Saint Riginos was the first bishop of Skopelos and he was beheaded in 362 A.D., in the location of "Gefyri", where his shrine is. Holy Monastery of Evangelistria. Byzantine monument that survives in Skopelos and operates as a monastery.

+ Metropolitan bishop of Chalkida, Istiaia and the Northern Sporades
One of the islands of Greece that enjoy an ecclesiastical tradition and life is Skopelos, the largest island of the Northern Sporades. This island, apart from the natural beauties, given as dowry from the omniscient and beneficent Creator, safeguards as an "inestimable treasure" the Orthodox spiritual life, which is proven by the reverence of the people of Skopelos, evident in the two hundred holy buildings, which comprise monasteries, small monasteries, parishes and chapels, as well as small, picturesque country chapels.
The island of Skopelos together with Skiathos and Alonissos constitute a "precious necklace" on the body of the Holy Metropolis of Chalkida, Istiaia and the Northern Sporades, in which they belong. The Saints, with the predominance of the glorious holy martyr Riginos, protect Sporades as well as the entire Local Church from all visible and invisible threat, and this is the reason why we always find shelter in them and we seek their untiring assistance. They are also luminous beacons for the rever-
ent crew, the Christians of our Diocese, especially the ones of Skopelos, who keep on drawing nourishment from the traditions of the Saints and their ecclesiastical fathers and, despite the "destruction of our time", they remain true to the living tradition and the Truth of things. We invite the readers of the welcoming magazine "DISCOVER SKOPELOS" to visit our island and to enjoy the beauties of nature, discovering through them the loving presence of the Creator. It will literally be a "great apocalypse" and we wish for it!

Weaving, pottery, architecture, embroidery, ship building, folk songs and traditions are dependent on the authentic and evolved beauty instincts of the people of Skopelos, who create handicrafts of inestimable value. In the 19th century, when the development of trade was great, all the women of Skopelos knew how to embroider. Rich women gave their daughters' trousseau to embroiderers: sheets, pillow cases and knit bedclothes for the making of the wedding bed, as well as tablecloths and embroidered slippers for the groom. The less well off women, used to embroider the trousseau by themselves. They used to dedicate endless hours slouching over their embroidery and sitting next to the house window, in order to see well. A proof of the good taste of the women of Skopelos is the traditional wedding clothing, which is considered as one of the most beautiful in Greece. Nowadays, women still embroider, but not to a great extent; they do it as a hobby and there are also some professional embroiderers in Skopelos and Glossa.
There were also many weavers that used to weave the "anetouralia", the shirts for the wedding clothing. Nowadays, they no longer exist. The men built ships, in local shipyards, jars made from the soil of Skopelos, carved sofas and little knives, to decorate their homes. Nowadays, the folk craftsmen of Skopelos pass their art from generation to generation. And, if you wish to see all these folk treasures, then you must visit the Skopelos Folklore Museum, the "Vakratsa" Mansion, the Museum of the History of Skopelos, the Museum of Cultural Heritage of Kosmas family, the Folklore Museum and the Nautical Museum, in Glossa, as well as the workshops of miniature ship building by Giannis Mpountalas, pottery by Nikos Rodios, traditional knife making by Christos Patsis, painted plates by Violeta Sofikiti, handmade dolls with traditional costumes by Virginia Sideri and Ourania Kallianou, and, finally, the carpentry shop of Mpampis Kochylis.

Easter in Skopelos is unique, not only because of its devout atmosphere and the religious traditions on the island but also because it is experienced in spring nature, when the pines smell nice, next to the greenblue Aegean Sea and among the countless tiled narrow streets where the scent of the lilac in bloom is diffused. The residents and visitors of the island spend the Holy Week in a devout atmosphere with religious devotion and modesty as the folklore traditions and the Passion of the Christ are interconnected.

Holy Thursday. The sound of mournful church bells echoes all over the island. Many people will enter the church to "receive" the Holy Communion. The scents of sweet bread and Easter cookies linger in the atmosphere thus creating a climate of "sweet melancholy". In the evening the12 Gospels will be read in the churches and with devoutness the believers will follow the culmination of the divine Passion. At daybreak women and girls of every parish will decorate the "Epitaphios" (Biers of Christ) with devoutness and tastefulness. Holy Friday, the divine drama reaches its peak, the mournful tolling of the bell is heavy, the Biers of Christ have been decorated. This day is a day of great mourning and fasting for the locals; they do not even drink water, do not listen to music and do not wish "many happy returns". In the afternoon the children, residents and travelers wander from parish to parish to pay their respects to the Biers of Christ. In the evening, with a candle in their hands all believers chant the eulogy of the "Epitaphios" while walking the procession, the lyrics sound in every cobbled street. The processions of the Biers of Christ start to end once more outside of the churches where the reenacting of the "Descent into Hades" will take place by the priest. The priest will shout "Open the gates" and he will open the doors with force. Holy Saturday. Sadness departs and the believers wish each other "Kali Anastasi" (Happy Resurrection). The bells of the first Resurrection toll joyfully and convey the message that "Christ has beaten death". The children offer baskets with cookies and red eggs to the grandmothers and receive a candle and shoes as a gift. At midnight everyone will go to the church to receive the Holy Light. After church the residents of Skopelos will return home to crack the red eggs and to taste the traditional "magiritsa" soup. At Easter Sunday the table is set with the lambs that are sacrificed to that aim. The island overflows with the sounds of the feast. It is the best time to go the countryside and get to know Skopelos from the one end to the other, taking in all the unique scenes of joy within the masterpiece of natural beauty. Easter finds its true expression in Skopelos, which has uncountable churches and many monasteries. The devout atmosphere, nature's rebirth, the wholehearted hospitality of the residents create a scenery which is hard to see elsewhere.

Carnival in Skopelos Customs and traditions with roots in the worship of Dionysus and praise to nature are revived every year. Íear 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, 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. 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. 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.

"FAMOUS" SKOPELOS 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 2007, 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 2014 the shootings of a Russian production film were completed on the island.

Skopelos architecture The houses of Skopelos are your first encounter as you enter the port. They stand amphitheatrically built, tightly hugging, one next to the other. The bright white houses with their red roofs and their picturesque balconies are inviting you to admire them. The settlement is majestic: houses with two or three floors, with an open last floor (averto), furnished with furniture, which, many times, was brought from merchants and seamen from their long voyages abroad. They are covered with handiworks from Skopelos made by skilful embroiderers and made with natural, incompatible and yet harmoniously combined materials, such as rock, wood and iron. And everything is roofed over with tiles and flagstones from Pelion. The external part of the houses can be categorized into four types of influences: the VenetianWestern type, which is the oldest one and, unfor-

tunately, the houses of this type have not survived; the Pelion-Macedonian type, brought by the immigrants from Thessaly and Macedonia, which have as their distinctive feature the facade of the last floor, constructed by wood furring, strongly protruding from the contour of the building's base, creating the well-known "sachnisia", which are perforated, continuous bay windows; the rural type, which are stone buildings with wrought balconies roofed with pergolas (kouklenta). A distinctive feature is the wooden bathroom on one side of the balcony; and the neoclassical, which was mainly built for rich people, having as distinctive features the decorated facades, the marble and ironwork balconies and the marble portal frames. In their interior, they all had the same structure, which corresponds to the Balkan type. In the semi-basement, built from timber and stone, there usually was the kitchen and the cellar. On the first floor, which was built from a light timber construction with bricks, there was the dining room, decorated with lovely tablecloths, and the bedrooms, furnished with wrought iron beds and chests, where they placed the "trousseau". On the second floor, which became lighter with the wooden wall, but was then burdened with the heavy construction of the roof, there was the ballroom or "averto", for the celebrations, since the people of Skopelos were merrymakers and sociable. It was decorated with all the possessions of the family, carved sofas and chests, porcelain objects, embroideries, etc.

For the people of Skopelos "cleanliness leads halfway to nobility". So, the houses were always whitewashed and the yards and neighbourhoods were full of different kinds of flowers.
The houses of the 21st century Nowadays, the houses of Skopelos that are within the old town, maintain their picturesque features by staying true to the traditional style. You can feel this by going for a simple stroll in the small streets of the settlement. This is also a contribution of the declaration of Skopelos town as a "Traditional Settlement of Outstanding Beauty". There are of course some innovations and some "cacophonies", but this was inevitable. The economic boom brought by Tourism may have influenced constructions, but this happened mainly outside the limits of the traditional settlement, in general; at least, for the exterior of the buildings, the limit in the number of floors, the tile roofs and the balconies with the pergolas are kept. The people of Skopelos, having understood, since long time, the value of tradition and being used to live among such beauty, try, despite the economic and social misfortunes, to stay true to it.

Gastronomic recommendations Holidays equal relaxing and good food. Therefore, there is no chance that you will not try the local specialities and "goodies", when you are in Skopelos. Sweets, plums, honey, traditional dishes and fresh seafood are the must-try tastes. You should absolutely taste the renowned "Skopelos cheesepie", which is fried, crunchy and filled with local feta cheese. You can find it in all the restaurants and coffee houses. It is worth walking to Glossa and visiting the Glosiotissa Women Association, from where you can buy cheesepies for home and, if you are lucky, you can watch the process of their production. Since you are on an island, you will certainly order fresh fish and squids. The highlight of the seafood specialties is stewed grouper, with spring onions and local plums. If, on the contrary, you prefer meat, then you should definitely try the Skopelos baby goat, cooked in the oven or stewed, and the pork with the local plums. Before leaving the island, you should take with you traditional sweets, such as "chamalia", which is the sweet treat in engagements, almond paste spoon sweets, "rozedes", "Avgato" plum spoon sweet, AZAN local dried plums, honey from pine-tree flowers, jams from local fruit, olive oil, olives, herbs such as oregano and sage, and, if you keep looking a bit more, local wine and goat cheese.

Plums of Skopelos The plums of Skopelos are renowned for their antioxidant and laxative properties as well as for their particular taste. The III Plum and Prune working Group Meeting, which took place in July 2015, in Skopelos, promoted the plums of Skopelos and proved their superior quality, compared to the other varieties. There are three varieties of plums in Skopelos: "Azan", which is black, juicy and sweet; "Avgato", of a golden (yellow) colour, which is used to produce one of the tastiest spoon sweets or jam; the "sour" plum is used in cooking or to produce jam. It is possible to find Skopelos plums in all the shops with local delicacies and, if you also wish to see them, apart from tasting them, you should visit "Grypiotis Farm", which is full of Skopelos plums.

THE PEPARITHIAN WINE The island of ancient Peparithos, named after the son of Dionysus, could not but produce locally grown wine; and it did so with so much success that the fame and glory of the "Peparithian Wine" reached even the far off ports of Marseille, Russia and the Black Sea, contributing to the promotion of the island. The Peparithians (people of Skopelos), aided by the fertile and rich soil of the island, dedicated themselves to the cultivation of vineyards and the production of wine. The Peparithian wine was a robust dark red wine (dry Pramnian wine, according to the ancient Greeks). The Peparithians, being exceptionally skilled shipbuilders and sailors, built their own sailing ships and exported wine to Athens and abroad, and especially to the ports of Pontus. The Peparithian coins that were discovered, had the symbol of grapes, vine leaves or the head of Dionysus stamped on them, proving the importance of wine for the island. The wine was also praised by the renowned Casanova, who characterized it as "sparkling and aphrodisiac wine"! After the Greek Wars of Independence of 1821, when the people of Skopelos sacrificed their fleet for the liberation of their nation, the exports of wine stopped. In 1860, the renowned and glorified vineyards of Skopelos disappeared for ever, because of the disease of phylloxera. The Peparithian wine is now a memory of a brilliant tradition which brought prosperity, cultural development and glory to Skopelos!

Skopelos 1930
Once upon a time In the post-War years, the people of Skopelos emigrated in North America and Athens in order to work. The ones who stayed on the island worked as builders, stock-farmers, fishermen and farmers. All of them cultivated the land and produced oil, olives, oregano, sage, dried prunes and figs, which they stored in cellars, for the winter. Stock-farmers used to graze their goats, from which they took the meat and milk. When the animals were slaughtered, they sent the crier on the streets to announce the fresh product. The locals used to move in the "shacks", as they called their holiday homes, every spring, in order to work in the fields. Stock-farmers, in particular, were travelling back and forth with horses, every day, accompanied by their women, who helped in the tasks, did the cleaning and the cooking. Life in Skopelos had reached a level in which nobody suffered from famine and the cultivation of the land as well as the solidarity of the locals towards the most disadvantaged was life-saving. Several workers came from Glossa and Alonissos and many of them were welcomed as "stepchildren" in families. Sunday was the day dedicated to church-going. As soon as the mass was over, they went to work. There was also a lot of merrymaking. In every celebration, there used to be food and drinks followed by dancing and singing. The same was happened for chapel owners: after every mass, there was a celebration lasting 2 days. In 1965, an earthquake caused damage to the entire island, which was then rebuilt. At the same time, there was a gradual development of tourism, which resulted in the banning of boatyards, so that holidaymakers were not "disturbed"... Tourists were so delighted with the virgin landscape that in the early 1980s, the locals started opening their homes to provide accommodation for the holidaymakers, even on the floor and in balconies; and this is how the locals started getting involved with tourism. Nowadays, the inhabitants of the island may depend on tourism, but they don't abandon the traditional way of life. They enjoy their "shacks", keep the family's country chapels in operation, they cultivate the prune trees and collect the yearly produce of oil, thus keeping alive a small piece of the past.
