A TOUR OF THE CHURCHES
Strolling around the picturesque streets and houses you are sure to come across one of the many church courtyards giving the island its particular colour. Visit the church of Trion Hierarhon, housing the miraculous icon of Panaghia Eikonistria, and the church of the Virgin of the Lake (Panagia I Limnia), built in 1838, where the skull of Papadiamantis is reverently kept. Further ahead, chance upon Aghios Nikolaos, with its famous clock.
Extra tip: Read Papadiamantis before visiting Skiathos. In his novel “The Murderess”, dark passions, and high drama are enacted in every conceivable local setting.
