Highlights
A tour for those interested in local history, folklore and culture. The evening begins at the church of The Archangels, where you get a wonderful view and a short tour of the interesting, old church. We then continue to the Church of The Virgin Mary and after we have visited it, there is a short footpath that will take us down to the Evagelistria Monastery, built to be well hidden from pirates in a lush valley. This is the only monastery on Skiathos that is still active and it has a fascinating 200-year history, starting with the making of the first Greek flag. After a tour of the premises and the local museum, which houses a rare collection of icons, relics and traditional costumes, you will get some time on your own before departing. All in all a lovely way to spend part of your evening in peaceful and tranquil surroundings, untouched and undisturbed by the modern way of life.

About Skiathos
Skiathos is a small green island in the Sporades off mainland Greece, known for its pine-backed golden beaches and a harbour town of white houses.
Skiathos, the westernmost of the main Sporades, lies just off the Pelion peninsula of mainland Greece and is covered in pine woods that run down to the sea. Skiathos Town sits on two small harbours separated by a headland, with white houses, tavernas and a small peninsula, Bourtzi, which once held a fortress. The writer Alexandros Papadiamantis was born on the island, and his house is a museum.
