Skyros Town, or Chora, is a spectacular island capital and harbor. White houses are stacked up into the hillside overlooking a picturesque harbor. Winding roads and alleys curve through the town, leading to the center square, Pano Piatsa (Upper Square). There is a castle perched atop the mountain behind the town. A Byzantine fortress and Venetian architecture round out the beauty of the town. The center of the village has many hotels and places to stay, restaurants, bars and cafes. Other places to see in Skyros Town: Agia Triada church; the Monastery of Agios Georgios; the Statue of Immortal Poetry in commemoration of Rupert Brooke, the English poet who died on the island; the 17th century Agios Athanasios church; and Agios Konstantinos church. Also worth seeing: The Folklore Museum and Archaeological Museum. The view from the top of the hill of Skyros Town is breathtaking -- green land, blue sea and the town stretched out below you.
