Welcome to Skyros. The boat brought you to Linaria, the port of Skyros, a lee and safe port on the west side of the island. It shows a wonderful picturesque village built on the side of the hill, which was deemed as a historical landmark monument by decision of the minister.
There are two versions on the name of the port. The first is related to the cultivation of linen and processing of linen fabrics in the old days. The second is related to the Nymph Lino (Ληνώ, li`no) and maybe this area was a place of worship of the Nymphs in ancient times.
