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 ‘Villa Dafni’ Category

Located on a very quiet stepped street, in the oldest area of Skopelos town, and yet just a few minutes walk from tavernas and cafes, this lovely town house enjoys the best of both worlds.

Built on one level, Villa Dafni has been lovingly renovated by its Greek owners who have furnished it in a warm and traditional style.

Entrance from the street is into the very pleasent central courtyard, which is shaded by a lemon tree. There is a marble- topped table and directors' chairs here, and it is a really nice spot to dine outside, or to sit and read in the heat of the day.

The house has two parts, a small annexe, and the main house.

The main house comprises living room-kitchen, bathroom and main bedroom. The lovely sitting room has lots of light from three windows, wooden floor, a high traditional wooden ceiling, and antique furniture.

The living room opens into the kitchen which is equipped with electric oven and hob, fridge-freezer and kettle.

Also opening off from the living room is the fully tiled bathroom, which has shower, WC and washing machine, and the main bedroom. This has the traditional wooden sleeping platform with double mattress.

The annexe which opens off from the courtyard comprises a second bedroom with double bed, and ensuite bathroom with shower and WC.

Suitable for familes and couples.

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