Pages: 108
Price: 10 €
A book for those of you who would like to explore Skiathos beyond its beaches. Whether you prefer gentle strolls or proper hikes, this book presents a wide variety of walks through the island's beautiful nature. While you walk you will also learn about Skiathos fascinating past and present as it includes lots of history, local stories, traditions, myths and miracles.
Every walk is illustrated with maps and photographs and the book also has useful information and phone numbers. Just for fun, I also added the "Mamma Mia" church on Skopelos as it is easy to get to and back in a day from Skiathos.
