Our island, Our future
In an age of greater awareness of the negative impact pollution has on our planet, tourism is one of the main culprits: transportation, over-development and depletion of natural resources help to make sure it is not an environmentally-friendly industry. Skopelos relies on tourism and is faced with these issues -- while attempting to maintain its own cultural heritage and a clean living environment. Madro Travel has a policy of raising the awareness of holiday makers to things they can do here on Skopelos which can make a ‘real’, and positive, difference to the destination and the people living here. As an agency, we wish to actively encourage discussion on and participation in sustainable activities on Skopelos. Madro Travel aims to promote "sustainable tourism." (nature and wildlife activities), ecotourism (promoting yet protecting natural areas from mass-tourism and development), and agrotourism (educational holidays in agriculture and culture to sustain rural population). In these ways, tour operators, local businesses and visitors alike can genuinely appreciate and respect the culture and natural landscape of our island. A holiday spent exploring the countryside and villages, learning about the production of local cuisine and crafts can be a refreshing and rewarding break from city life. The informed traveller can also be directly contributing to the sustainable tourism effort by supporting the communities working to preserve their local traditions. Remember, if we all work together, our message will reach more people, change more minds, and touch more hearts.

Archive for the ‘Stolios Apartments’ Category

These lovely apartments are located 3 kilometres from the port, in the area of Raches which is a peaceful hilltop region near Skopelos town.

The apartments have been well-designed and take the form of two separate houses, both of which have the lovely and traditional grey Pelion roof slates. They are surrounded by very nicely landscaped gardens with olive, pine and cypress trees, some lawned areas, geraniums, and bougainvilleas etc.

All the apartments have their own large terrace with sun and shade, and with gorgeous views across the sea to Alonissos.

Furnished to an extremely high and stylish standard, the apartments are kept in immaculate condition with daily maid service .


In the topmost house there are two studio apartments on the ground floor. Both studio apartments have terracotta floors; a sleeping area - one with double wrought iron bed and the other with two twin wrought iron beds; TV; air conditioning; and fully equipped kitchens with mini ovens and fridge freezers, cafetieres etc.

One studio has a bathroom with shower and WC and the other has a bathroom with bath and WC.


The lower house comprises two maisonettes which have a connecting door, so can be used for families or bigger parties.

Entrance is into the living room/kitchen area which has a single wrought iron bed/couch which can sleep a third person, and which has air conditioning and TV. The kitchen area has handmade wooden units, and is fully equipped with mini-oven, fridge-freezer, and cafetiere.

A flight of wooden steps lead up to the mezzanine sleeping area with built in double bed, wooden floors and exposed beam ceiling. Both maisonettes have their own terrace and garden area.
