Skyros - path to Achilion bay, 2010
August 2010. We tried to arrive at Achilion bay by land. We failed but it was a small adventure. Abbiamo cercato di raggiungere la baia Achilion via terra. Non ce l'abbiamo fatta ma è stata una piccola avventura.

Best of SKYROS Island, beaches and attractions | exotic Greece
Skyros is an island in Greece, the southernmost of the Sporades, an archipelago in the Aegean Sea. Around the 2nd millennium BC and slightly later, the island was known as The Island of the Magnetes where the Magnetes used to live and later Pelasgia and Dolopia and later Skyros. At 209 square kilometres it is the largest island of the Sporades, and has a population of about 3,000.
According to Greek mythology, Theseus died on Skyros when he was thrown from a cliff.
Rupert Brooke, the famous English poet, is buried on Skyros, having died on board a French hospital ship moored off the island in 1915, during World War I.
The north of the island is covered by a forest, while the south, dominated by the highest mountain, called Kochila, (792 m), is bare and rocky. The island's capital is also called Skyros (or, locally, Chora). The main port, on the west coast, is Linaria. The island has a castle (the kastro) that dates from the Venetian occupation (13th to 15th centuries), a Byzantine monastery (the Monastery of Saint George), the grave of English poet Rupert Brooke in an olive grove by the road leading to Tris Boukes harbour. There are many beaches on the coast. The island has its own breed of Skyrian ponies.
The least famous island of Sporades, Skyros is located in the center of the Aegean Sea. Skyros island is a place with vivid tradition and special character. Chora is located along the slopes of a hill, offering great view to the Aegean Sea. Walk around the narrow streets of Chora, have a relaxing coffee and explore the Medieval Castle above the town. The most popular beach on the island is Molos, a long crystal coast with many tourist facilities. Around the island, there are equally beautiful places with fewer facilities and totally relaxing atmosphere. Ferry to Skyros Greece departs from the port of Kimi in Evia island, while in summer there is local ferry connection to Skopelos and Alonissos.
The island with a character all its own. A scenic town (Hora), wonderful beaches, the Skyrian horse, the intricate wood-carved furniture, the monastery of Aghios Georgios with its miraculous icon and a famous carnival will offer you unforgettable holiday experiences.
Skyros ist nicht sehr bekannt, aber hat einige treue Fans, die Jahr für Jahr in Ihrem Urlaub zurückkommen. Die Insel hat Besonderheiten, die sonst nirgendwo in Griechenland existieren. Eine davon ist das kleine Skyros-Pony, das so aussieht, als wäre es dem Fries am Parthenon entsprungen. Skyros ist auch berühmt für die geschnitzten Möbel und bemalten Keramiken.
Frischer Hummer ist allgegenwärtig und erschwinglich, obwohl die Zeiten von Hummer zum Frühstück, Mittag- und Abendessen auch hier vorbei sind. Wer gerne wandert, kann auf den markierten Wegen die zwei Gesichter der Insel erkunden: Der felsige Süden, wo der britische Dichter Rupert Brooke begraben liegt, und der mit Kiefern bewaldete Westen. Es gibt Strände für jeden Geschmack und eine Hauptstadt, die für beste Abendunterhaltung sorgt. Ein Urlaubsort in Griechenland mit ständigem Blick auf die Ägäis
Skyros non è la prima isola a cui potresti pensare per le tue vacanze in Grecia, ma ha dei fans fedeli che ritornano anno dopo anno, attirati dalle molte e uniche sue caratteristiche. Una di esse, il minuscolo pony Skyriano, sembra che sia sfuggito dal fregio del Partenone.
Quest'isola delle Sporadi è anche famosa per i suoi mobili intagliati e le ceramiche dipinte. Le aragoste fresche abbondano e sono ancora a buon prezzo, anche se i giorni in cui si potevano avere per una pausa veloce, per il pranzo e per la cena non ci sono più. Ti piace camminare? Sentieri segnati ti aiutano ad esplorare le due facce dell'isola: il sud roccioso, così amato dal poeta inglese Rupert Brooke e l'ovest con la foresta dei pini. Inoltre, ci sono spiagge per tutti i gusti e una città principale che offre il meglio ogni sera per il tuo divertimento in vacanza
Ce n’est peut-être pas la première île qui vient à l’esprit pour vos vacances mais c’est une des plus belles de la Grèce et c’est un secret bien caché des initiés.
Πρωτεύουσα του νησιού είναι η Σκύρος (ή Χώρα), που βρίσκεται στην ανατολική ακτή. Συνδέεται με τη Λιναριά. Άλλοι συνοικισμοί της Σκύρου είναι τα Μαγαζά, η Λιναριά και το Λουτρό.
Το νησί διακρίνεται για τις πολλές φυσικές του ομορφιές, καθώς και τα παραδοσιακά έθιμά του που προέρχονται ακόμα και από τους αρχαιότατους χρόνους. Ο συνδυασμός αυτός, παράλληλα με την χαμηλή αλλά ποιοτική τουριστική κίνηση, κάνει τη Σκύρο δέκτη επιλεκτικών επισκεπτών, διατηρώντας έτσι το παραδοσιακό χαρακτήρα της.
Το νησί είναι γεμάτο από ωραίους τόπους, όπως ο Γιαλός, το Αχήλι, τα Βράχια κ.ά. όμορφες αμμουδιές που στολίζουν ολόκληρο το νησί (Νύφη, Τρεις Μπούκες, Φανάρι και Διαπόρι κ.ά.).

The Great Lover by Rupert Brooke (read by Tom O'Bedlam)
There's a quasi-biography about Rupert Brooke called The Great Lover, prurient and harmful to his reputation. Don't fail to avoid it.
Brooke wrote this while in the South Seas, in about 1913.
The picture is of Rupert Brooke's grave on the Greek island of Skyros.
Brooke was a great poet and his works will live forever.
