A
FEW WORDS ABOUT SKYROS
The island is placed 24 nautical miles from Kymi in Euboea and 118 n.m. from Piraeus. It is the largest of the Sporades islands.( 215 sq.km.) The island's main port is Linaria. The town of Skyros chambers up a hill in a white half circle. On its top stood an ancient acropolis, one of the best strongholds in Aegean sea. In Byzantine times it turned into a fortress. |

There are remains
of Byzantine and chiefly Venetian fortifications to be seen today on the
site.According to legent there was on the ancient acropolis that Thetis
hid her son Achilles, where, dressed as a girl, he was brought up as one
of the king Lycomides' daughters in order to escape the Trojan War. Theseus
is also supposed to met his death here. Under the castle is the monastery
of Saint George , founded in 962 and dominating the whole island .
In Skyros there are three interesting museums : The Archeological ( tel.91327 ), the Historical and Folkloric Museum and the Municipal Skyrian House.
