Limited tourism, keeps it unspoilt?..........
Skyros is actually the largest of the Sporadic islands but yet it is the least visited.
It has an airport which is capable of direct flights from Europe, so why has no UK tour operator looked at it?
The answer is its isolation. With no real ferry link to talk about with the rest of the islands in the chain, the only way to get there is to go via Athens and then on a domestic flight.
The islanders also limit the number of tourist beds (to around 1000) so that the island retains its traditional, authentic feel. Foreigners are also banned from having homes here.
That’s not to say the island is not welcoming – it is. The locals are very impressed that people have made the effort to visit their island and make them feel very at home.
This is very evident when it is one of the many festivals which take place on Skyros, as the locals encourage the tourists to get involved.
There is a local bus service to get around but it is recommended to take a car so that you can explore at your own pace.
Please be aware that due to ferry and flight timings, a stay overnight in Athens may be required in either direction.

The team have booked three very different holidays for me, two for a couple and one for a group of nine. They listened to our requirements and used their expert knowledge of Greece to provide us with several options from which to choose. I found them to be very professional, nothing is too much trouble and they strive to find a good deal. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

The business has booked me a few different holidays ranging from 2 weeks away in the sun to City Breaks. They have a great knowledge and understanding of your needs and requirements when booking a holiday. They always try to accommodate your budget and work extremely hard to get you what you're asking for. They have an extremely good knowledge of the Greek Islands and never fail when recommending specific places. I would always recommend the team as they are helpful and professional at all times.

Fantastic service. I explained what kind of holiday I was looking for and my budget and they came up with different options to choose from. Nothing was too much trouble and the communication was first class. I would definitely recommend and would not hesitate in using this 5 star service again.
