Skyros, Skyropoula, Vassilopoula: These 3 names are what accompany and describe the amazing beauty of this Sporades island.

Skyros is an island addressed to the few and “sought after”.

You will go to Skyros because someone will tell you about it. He will describe to you its amazing and quiet beaches, its beautiful Chora with the houses that always have their doors open so that you can admire their Skyrian architecture and decoration.

He will tell you about the fresh and cheap fish you can eat all over the island and tell you that you will get sick of eating lobster pasta – don’t take it as an exaggeration.

Skyros is one of the top fishing spots in Greece and the lobsters every morning in Linaria where all the boats gather are literally countless.

Also, it is an island that you don’t need a guide to explore because quite simply even today it remains unexplored and waiting for you.

Trivia: According to Greek mythology, Theseus died on Skyros and Achilles plundered the island to punish Lycomedes for killing Theseus.

Also, the famous English poet Rupert Brooke is buried in Skyros. He died on a French hospital ship anchored off the island in 1915 during the First World War.
