Hiking to the Monastery (2)

The hike from Skiathos Town to Evangelistria Monastery is an experience. The trail winds uphill at an easy, steady pace, occasionally opening to small clearings where you can glance back toward the Aegean—Skiathos Town shrinking below, the sea flashing silver and blue between the trees. Along the way, you may spot wild herbs, dry-stone walls half-swallowed by vegetation, and the distant sound of goat bells echoing through the forest. As you approach Evangelistria, the forest grows quieter and cooler. The path levels out, leading to the monastery’s peaceful courtyard, shaded by cypress trees. Built in the late 18th century, Evangelistria Monastery feels serene and timeless, its white walls glowing softly against the green hills. The journey ends in stillness, with panoramic views over the island’s interior and a sense that you’ve walked not just across terrain, but gently back through Skiathos’ history and spirit #Hiking #camping #skiathos
