Biography
View old mayors

Skiathos, meaning rich shade of trees, was named to its unique forests. The island has been continuously inhabited since the 10th century BC. Kefala is of particular importance as it is the first recorded place with inhabitants in the Sporades from early historical times, dating back to the 10th century BC.

On the most northern part of the island stands Kastro, where the islanders settled in the mid-14th century, abandoning the current city to save themselves from pirate raids by the Turks and Venetians. Here the imprint of its inhabitants remains via picturesque chapels and fortifications.

From the Venetians and Dutch travelers and cartographers, to holidaymakers and the rapid development of tourism, Skiathos consistently charms every visitor. During the 19th century the island became an important shipbuilding centre in the Aegean thanks to the abundance of pine forests.
