Skyros is a one-of-a-kind island – wild, poetic, and quietly eccentric. From forested hills in the north to barren southern landscapes, it offers two islands in one. Elena’s guide to holidays in Skyros uncovers its folklore, handmade traditions, and secret beaches. It’s ideal for travellers who prefer rhythm over routine and authenticity over amenities. For the best experience, pair your stay with a few nights in a heritage hotel, or explore boutique hideaways. Skyros also combines well with island-hopping routes for the more curious traveller.

Continuing my Greek journey on a short flight from Athens airport to the island of mythology, eternal poetry (there is a connection with the English poet Rupert Brooke and holistic holidays, Skyros ~ Σκυρος.

The island in the heart of the Aegean Sea – is a myriad of harmonious combinations. Myth and reality, tradition and modern life in a congenial coexistence. Where the fresh wind blows tides towards sharp white cubic houses, and mountain Kohylas that falls steeply to the sea.

Picturesque agricultural vistas (must visit the Skyrian Ponies farm ~ conservation project) and cool Aegean Sea breezes set the backdrop for a charming old town.

Skyros island the perfect destination for a wonderful and relaxing vacation or longer stay.
