General information

Destination
Skiathos, Greece

Program details

A tour for those interested in local history, folklore and culture.

The evening begins at the church of The Archangels, where you get a wonderful view and a short tour of the interesting, old church. We then continue to the Church of The Virgin Mary and after we have visited it, there is a short footpath that will take us down to the Evagelistria Monastery, built to be well hidden from pirates in a lush valley. This is the only monastery on Skiathos that is still active and it has a fascinating 200-year history, starting with the making of the first Greek flag. After a tour of the premises and the local museum, which houses a rare collection of icons, relics and traditional costumes, you will get some time on your own before departing.

All in all a lovely way to spend part of your evening in peaceful and tranquil surroundings untouched and undisturbed by the modern way of life.
