Our Island – Our Future!
Madro Travel is committed to raising awareness of the traditions, culture and environment of Skopelos. Green Week is a celebration of this awareness. For details of what is happening on Skopelos, please see our section on Special Events. Remember, if we all work together, our message will reach more people, change more minds, and touch more hearts.
Thought for the day
All of us, the great and the little, have need of each other. - Aesop (c.620-560 BC)

Like many of the old families of Skopelos, Madro Travel Skopelos Greece has a long tradition of  involvement in all aspects of the island. You can read a little about this in Michael Carroll's book 'An Island in Greece"* (formerly published as 'Gates of the Wind), in which he describes his love affair with Skopelos and his developing and enduring relationship with Vangelis - Machi's father- his family and friends.

Madro Travel aims to establish cultural activities that will deepen knowledge and interest in the island and its people and inform visitors about the real Greece.

To this end, we are flagging up the Green Week activities that will take place in May and have set up the workshops on painting icons, also in May.

We will add more events and information as the year goes on. Keep checking this space!

You can buy the book at Madro Travel Skopelos Greece Office on the Paralea
