Madro Travel

Skopelos | Greece

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.

Atrion Rooms

This small complex of 10 rooms is situated at the top of the old town of Skopelos, on its peripheral road. Accessed either from the ring road, or by the stepped streets through the village, its position means that all the rooms have beautiful amphitheatrical views down over the rooftops and to the sea and mountains.

The rooms are very spacious, and can easily accommodate an extra folding bed for a third person. They are equipped with air conditioning, fridge, and TV and all have en-suite bathroom with shower and WC.

The top floor rooms have lovely traditional style exposed beam ceilings. In addition to a fridge in each room there is a small communal kitchen where guests can make a hot drink or breakfast.

The waterfront and the town port can be reached in less than 5 minutes by foot on the descent, while the ascent back up on foot takes around 20 minutes!

Those with walking difficulties or the unfit would be advised to rent a car or moped.

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