About Skiathos ("The Island of Poets")
The famous island with its origins to be lost in the
misty background of the greek mythology, today well known as
an international tourist resort. An unforgettable paradise
in the aquamarine aegean sea within sight of farfamed Pelion mountain.
Skiathos is really an enchanted corner of Greece mantled with pines
and olive-trees, amaranths and thyme. Over than 60 blond beaches around
the Skiathos Palace Hotel (where the conferences will take place) with
the picturesque backdrop of many byzantine monasteries and white chapels
conspicuous symbols of the islanders' God-Fearing piety and spiritual
feeling.
Skiathos is a beautiful, wooded island, far greener than one
would expect a Greek island to be, which has between 60 & 70 fine sandy
beaches, many of which have not become overcrowded &
some of which can be virtually empty, even in the height of summer.
The environment is incredibly varied & can range from hidden, wooded
valleys (like our own in Zorbathes) to Monasteries set against a
backdrop of barren rock, from shallow beaches with pastures behind to
plunging cliffs with beaches nestling below them, only accessible by
boat. There are several offshore islands which are worth visiting and
where
you will find beaches with less people on them than the main island
ones.
At the eastern end of the island is the main (& only) town, also called
Skiathos, surrounding a well sheltered harbour which fills in the summer
with every type of vessel from 3 metre fishing boats to 11 metre yachts
to 40 metre motor yachts. In Skiathos town you can find everything.
It is a thriving, cosmopolitan centre that hums with energy during the
summer months contrasting nicely with the lazy beach days.
You can have a slow ouzo on the waterfront, boogie all night, shop 'til
you drop or fill yourself at one of the many of tavernas & restaurants.
Whatever you fancy, there will be someone catering for it.
Places of interest & beauty worth a visit are:
The church of Aghios Nikolaos, The Old Castle, The Bourtzi, The Plakes,
The graveyard (where my father was buried for 3 years), The boatyard by
Megali Ammos Beach, Papadiamantis House
A walk through the upper west part of Skiathos, from the Health Centre
down to the Plakes and up & back to the fish market and Old Port. This
is the most original part of Skiathos and the narrow streets give it a
lot of atmosphere.
The main road follows the south coast until it reaches the west end of
the island & terminates at Koukounaries beach.
Many famous Artists of Greece, like Alexander Papadiamantis
and Alexander Moraitidis were born in Skiathos ("The Island of Poets").
During the Conference Official Dinner, a small festival / concert will
take place.
