Built amphitheatrically on a slope, the capital of Skyros, Chora impresses the visitor with its landscape and panoramic view. The white houses remind of the Cyclades complex, although Skyros is part of the Sporades islands. Their architectural style, with the houses being built one next to the other, is typical on the Greek islands, whose residents were trying in that way to avoid the pirates' attacks...

Chora offers numerous traditional restaurants, cafes, shops etc and is considered as an interesting tourist spot, especially in the summer.
