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 ‘Alkistis Apartments’ Category

This A category complex is conveniently situated on the road from Skopelos town to Stafilos beach, approximately 2 kms from both. In our opinion, this is one of the best family accommodations on the island.


One of its best features is its wonderful, large swimming pool, with a children's swimming area, and a swim-up pool bar. There is plenty of space around the pool to soak up the sun, or sit and enjoy a cool drink.


The actual studios and apartments are located amid olive groves behind the reception building and pool area, and are set well back from the road. They are all very spacious, and have air conditioning, radio and telephone, and their own terrace or balcony.

The studios are open plan with sleeping-living area, kitchenette, and bathroom with shower and WC.

The apartments have a twin bedroom, and a huge open plan living-dining room, with two comfortable sofa beds. They also have a kitchenette equipped for the preparation of simple meals.

There is a minimarket on site for essentials.


Should you tire of self catering, the complex has its own taverna, and a courtesy minibus makes regular trips into town, so you can easily sample the waterfront's tavernas and restaurants.

Self Catering basis.
