Skyros Shipping Co: Routes and Destinations

Skyros

Ancient art and architecture, fabulous blue waters, enchanting beaches and picturesque villages make Skyros the ideal place for a creative holiday. The island, located in the Northern Sporades, is 25 miles from the mainland and lends itself beautifully to the organisation of a holiday focused on art and crafts. In Book XIX of the Iliad, a nostalgic Achilles tells of his father living in Phthia and of his son, whom he left in the care of King Lycomedes in Skyros.

This lesser-known island of the Sporades is steeped in folklore and off the beaten track, perfect for travellers seeking inspiration and tranquillity. In Chora, the historical centre of the whole of Skyros, whitewashed houses cascade beneath a medieval castle atop a hill, while quiet beaches such as Agios Fokas and Atsitsa Bay offer a peaceful retreat for swimming, drawing or simply sunbathing.

Kymi

Also called “The Open Terrace on the Aegean Sea”, situated 200 m above sea level, the beautiful town of Kymi is located in the eastern part of the Prefecture of Euboea and boasts the prefecture's most important artificial harbour. It is built on a circular, amphitheatre-like hill in a verdant, water-rich environment, surrounded by traditional settlements, caves, forests and beaches, creating an idyllic landscape.
