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.

Mylos House enjoys a wonderful location in the oldest part of Skopelos town: just a minute's walk away from parking at the Kastro car park, but in a peaceful stepped street, and with superb views from its sheltered terrace.

Built on three storeys, entrance is into the middle floor hallway, off which are the main bedroom and bathroom.

The wooden floored bedroom is spacious and has double bed, a built-in wardrobe and an antique wrought-iron single bed which provides couch seating.

The bathroom is marble-tiled throughout and has full size bath with over-bath shower, and WC.

Down a level from the entrance hallway is the kitchen dining room with cool flagstone floor. The kitchen is fully equipped with oven and electric rings, kettle, toaster and fridge-freezer.

The dining area has couch seating plus dining table and chairs.

Up a flight of stairs from the central hallway is the top floor of the house. This comprises a really light and spacious living room, with open beamed wooden ceiling and wooden floors. It has a traditional fireplace, and sofa seating. French windows on one side of the room open onto a street facing balcony.

Off the living room is a small extra bathroom with WC and sink.

On the opposite side of the room, folding French windows open onto the terrace with its beautiful views of the castle walls, Skopelos village and the port. This is a perfect spot for outdoor meals and drinks, while taking in the views.
