Long neglected, the fortified settlement – in an area that was first inhabited in the 6th or 7th century AD – is being brought back from oblivion so that it can be open and accessible, with restored monuments and new paved paths.
The project is a collaboration between the Skiathos Municipal Authority, which carried out the relevant studies, the Regional Authority of Thessaly, which found the funding, and the Ministry of Culture, which is responsible for its execution. It is a multifaceted project being carried out in the framework of the European Union-backed Thessaly Regional Operational Program 2014-2022.
