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.
Thought for the day
Honesty is the best policy. - Aesop (c.620-560 BC)

Panayiotas Kalivi

This pretty cottage is built on the verdant hillside just above Stafilos beach, and is perfect for countryside and beach lovers. The owners have carefully renovated their old family kalivi, and the result is a very comfortable house.

Built on two levels, the ground floor comprises a spacious living room with sofa bed and traditional fireplace. Off the living room is the fully equipped kitchen and fully tiled bathroom with shower and WC.

Wooden stairs lead to the top floor which comprises a double bedroom with lovely exposed wooden ceiling. French windows open onto a small balcony with wonderful sea views.

The house has a large terraced area in front which is perfect for outdoor cooking on the barbecue, sunbathing, and taking in the views across the sea to Evia.

The beaches of Stafilos and Velanio are an approximate 300 metres walk away. There are two tavernas at Stafilos open from May until September, and one more which opens for the high season.

The bus stop for services into Skopelos town and to the other beaches of the island is located approximately 300 metres away from the house, and there is a minimarket approximately 400 metres further on.

Sleeps up to 4 people.
