Skiathos is believed to have taken its name from the Pelasgians, the first inhabitants of the island, who were impressed by the shade that covered the island. Then, Skiathos was inhabited by Cretans and Mycenaeans, while in the 7th and 6th century BC, the inhabitants of Chalkida, Evia, colonized Skiathos and created the first fortified city of the island. During the Persian Wars, Skiathos helped the Athenians a lot and its port was used as a fleet base. After the Peloponnesian War, in 404 BC, Skiathos became officially autonomous and independent. But the years of prosperity in Skiathos ended when the Athenians turned it into a military base against Philip II of Macedonia. When the Macedonians conquered Skiathos, they brought tyranny to the island where democracy returned only in 341 BC. After the death of Alexander the Great, a succession of leaders followed throughout Greece and Skiathos during which the Skiathians suffered a lot. In 197 BC, Skiathos regained its democracy. In 325 AD, Christianity appeared in Skiathos, while in the 7th century, Saracen pirates destroyed the island. In 1204, the Crusaders occupied the territories of the Byzantine Empire as well as the Aegean islands and Skiathos that they gave to the Venetians. The Venetians built a castle in Skiathos, known today as Bourtzi. Fast forward in the most recent history, after the Greek Revolution, the city in the Castle (Κastro) was abandoned and the locals moved to the port, where they built a new city. During the German occupation, the city of Skiathos suffered great damage, while it began to develop economically and socially after the wars.
Bourtzi is a tiny peninsula that divides the port of Skiathos into two parts. It used to be a fortress built by the Gizi brothers who ruled Skiathos in 1207. Bourtzi was bounded by impenetrable walls and there were two towers located to the left and right of the main gate. Archaeologists are of the opinion that inside the fortress there used to be a chapel, the chapel of Agios Georgios, which was also the guardian of the Venetians. The church was probably built by the Gizi brothers. Due to the presence of this church, Bourtzi was widely named as the Kastelli of Agios Georgios (Castle of Agios Georgios). The impregnable fortress was destroyed in 1660 with the occupation of the island by Admiral Francesco Morozini. In 1906 a school was built in the middle of the peninsula, which was funded by Andreas Syngros. At the entrance of the school, in 1925, the bust of Alexandros Papadiamantis was placed, which is there until today.
Near the Lalaria beach, one of the most photographed beaches in Greece are two beautiful sea caves, Skotini Spilia (Dark Cave) and Galazia Spilia (Blue Cave). The Dark Cave is the legendary sea cave characterized by its low and narrow entrance through which only one boat can pass. It's about 20 meters deep and it's really dark inside. The Blue Cave is the largest of the two. The sensational reflections of water and sun on the rocks and the rare beauty of the cave are truly enchanting. These two caves are considered as the most remarkable creations of nature and are among the most beautiful sights of Skiathos that you should not miss.
In the past, Kastro (Castle) was one of the main medieval towns of Skiathos. The city has been strategically built on a rock that literally hangs over the sea, at the northern end of the island. The cliff is distinguished by its enormous height and was an ideal location for the protection for the people who lived within the Castle. At the peak of its prosperity, Kastro had all 300 residential units and 22 elegant churches. Currently, there is only one church alone that stands as silent testimony to his glorious past. If you are able to climb to the top, you will surely be rewarded by a breathtaking view.
If you ask someone to tell you a syrup desserts that comes to mind, the odds are that they will mention the baklava first. And not in vain, since baklava is one of the most popular syrup dessert but also one of the most difficult to prepare. Skiathian baklava consists of about 50 handmade thin leaves, which are spread successively with fresh butter and grated almonds, in a round, low baking pan.The leaves are opened by hand and before being put in the oven it is cut into unique diamond pieces. Once the baklava is cooked, of course, it is poured with syrup. Alternatively, some recipes present the baklava of Skiathos with cloves and walnuts. This dessert came to the island of Skiathos in 1922, along with the refugees from Asia Minor. It is considered the dessert that stars in celebrations, especially weddings.
Skiathos cheese pie is considered the gastronomic highlight of the island and is definitely one of the dishes you should not forget to try. It consists of handmade pastry, which is filled with feta cheese, wrapped in a spiral shape and as soon as it is ready, it is fried in olive oil until it gets a golden, "tanned" color. This pie can be filled with other ingredients, such as mountain greens, spinach or anything else you can imagine. Also, instead of fried, it can be baked in the oven.
Apart from the nougat, which is considered a traditional dessert of almost all the Aegean islands, Skiathos is also famous for its chaimalia. Cheimalia is the dessert often mentioned in the short stories of the the famous writers originated from Skiathos, Papadiamantis and Moraitidis. It is, in fact, a fried dough, and is stuffed with walnuts, honey, bread crumbs, cinnamon and nutmeg. What gives the caimalia their special characteristic and makes them unique is their shape - they are shaped like pouches and in the end, once fried, they are sprinkled with icing sugar. Today, chaimalia is offered as a favors at christenings and weddings and is also the most delicious souvenir from Skiathos that you can donate to someone.
