Skyros is low hills, good underwater fishing and diving, crystal clear water, sandy beaches, little seaside tavernas, sea caves, and the unique Skyrian ponies. From the castle above the Hora, which combines Byzantine and Venetian ruins with older fortifications, the town spreads out below you in a cubists dream.
Each of the houses has an interior that reminds one of a folk art museum, and much of the handmade folk art is sold in little shops.
