Without doubt, Skyros is the odd man out in the Sporades. Set adrift from Skiathos, Skopelos & Alonissos (transport links with these islands are non existent) much of its landscape and architecture is more in keeping with the Cyclades than its nearest neighbours.
Hilltop Skyros Town is strikingly attractive. An apt description may be ‘a severely sloping Mykonos Town as it was maybe 30 years ago’. A maze of narrow alleyways leads not to a harbour but to a main thoroughfare at best 20 feet wide that in places would test the hardiest mountain goat. Great tavernas are mixed in with the usual mini-markets and other small shops. More steps lead to the hilltop church where one can experience wonderful views over the rooftops of Skyros Town and beyond.
Skyros is blessed with magnificent beaches. A 15 minute walk down the hill from Skyros Town and you are on the fine sands of Magazia where the pace of life is even slower than Skyros Town. A few tavernas and shops for basic provisions are the extent of development here and the beach never seems to get crowded!
Twin centre and Island Hopping: Skyros can be combined with Athens & Halkidiki.
