Island of Skiathos travel guide: Exploring an ancient fort

Greek island of Skiathos, the ancient fort of Kastri (Kastro) in Skiathos. Let's go to the beautiful Greek island of Skiathos and let's visit the amazing Kastro (Kastri or Fort). The Skiathos fort (Kastro, Kastri) was built on a rocky peninsula around 1360 in order to protect the local residents from pirate raids, the fort could only be attached from a small ridge that connected it to the mainland of the island. Skiathos fort was abandoned in 1829 when Greece was liberated from the Turkish occupation and the locals were finally able to return and to re-establish the modern city of Skiathos. We are going to walk all over and visit the most important sites, we are also going to enjoy the spectacular views.
Skiathos, a Greek island in the northwest Aegean Sea, is part of the Sporades archipelago. It’s best known for its beaches and buzzing, youth-driven nightlife scene. The action centers around Skiathos Town, where bars and restaurants spill onto sidewalks along the old harbor and Papadiamanti street, the main pedestrian thoroughfare. Between town and the airport are many open-air, waterfront clubs.

That looked like bullet holes in the murals in the church of the birth of christ’s walls, perhaps from ww2 ?

What an exciting destination! Nearly impassable terrain. So good of you to go through
all that strain to bring us as close as possible. Most beautiful to watch now, at times of
peace. Not like so, back then, I gather. A great piece of History indeed. Absolutely stunning
views of the churches. Breathtaking! Surprised they can be accessed so freely by the public.
Thank you, Vic, for sharing this wonderful video, with History galore ~ and sights, that keep
you in lingering awe!
