Review & FAQ:

After being closed for 18 years due to renovation as a result of damage sustained from an earthquake, the Castle of Skyros just recently opened to the public July 2019. Along with admiring the structure from afar, visitors can have a closer glimpse by viewing it from the nearby courtyard. Architecturally, the structure’s fort features four semicircular towers, as well as three water cisterns inside most likely built during the Venetian occupation. Other notable features include the St. George Monastery, which dates back to 963 AD and the temple of Episkopi, built in 895 AD.
