Skiathos
- General Information
Skiathos is the most cosmopolitan island of Sporades... It has its own
airport with international and domestic
flights. The island has only one settlement Skiathos Town or Hora,
where at the same time is the port too.
Skiathos took its name either from 'the skia of Athos' which means
'shadow of
Athos' and Athos is the Holly Mount (Agion Oros); just because its
orientation 'reaches' the shadow of Agion Oros or from its first
inhabitants the Pelasgians, because they were impressed by the great
shadow (skia) of the many trees covering the island.
The
island belongs to Northern Sporades (Skopelos, Alonissos) and is
shaped from southwest to northeast, the length is from
southwest to northeast and the width is from northwest to southeast. It
is located east of mainland Greece and Magnesia and northeast of
Evia.
Skiathos
is covered by thick pine forest and streched golden beaches becomes an
