The
island of the mythical king Likomides, having an age-old
past like Evia, is connected to all the great heroes of our
mythology. Here is where Thetida was hiding her
invulnerable (except for the heel) son, Achilles. The
father of Aegeas came from here, and on this very
island Theseus met his death, when Likomides pushed
him off the cliff, to the sharp rocks of Skiros.
Today’s
Skiros is one of the most beautiful Aegean islands, and it
has rightfully gained the preference of the Greek and
foreign tourists.
From
the little islands around Skiros, the biggest are Sarakino
and Skiropoula.
