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 ‘Aghios Dimitrios villas’ Category

These villas have a lovely location as they are situated right on the pretty white pebble beach of Aghios Dimitrios. This is a beautiful spot, and as there are only a few other accommodations and one taverna, it is quite peaceful even in high season. The sea is just a few metres from the houses, so they are a perfect accommodation for those in search of a totally relaxed and beach-based holiday.

For a bigger choice of tavernas, there are several at the small fishing hamlet of Kalamakia, approximately 5 kms away, and some more tavernas and cafes at the scenic harbour of Steni Vala, which is a further 3 kms on. There is also a minimarket here for supplies.

The main town of Patitiri is approximately a 30 minute drive from Aghios Dimitrios.

There are three buildings in this small complex:

a one bedroomed cottage built on two levels which sleeps up to four people (2 adults plus 2 children);

further up from the beach is a two bedroomed house;

and even further back is a two level property: the top floor comprises a two bedroomed accommodation which can sleep up to six people (4 adults plus 2 children). On the lower floor is a large studio-apartment which is completely independent as it has its own entrance and terrace. This is open-plan and can sleep up to 4 people (2 adults plus 2 children).

The interiors of all the units have been furnished and decorated to a high standard. All the houses have spacious terraces with wonderful views over the sea to the island of Peristera which lies opposite, and there is a communal barbecue

All the houses have:-

* Kitchen, fully equipped with fridge-freezer, electric oven with hob, kettle, and coffee percolator

* Terrace with sea-views, sunbeds, sun umbrellas/shade, dining table

Car hire is recommended for ease of access to the other beaches and villages of the island.

Please contact us for availability, stating the name of the accommodation.
