We learned a lot about the skyrian horses and were nicely welcome by the volunteers. They are cheerful passionate about their job! Our 8 years old daughter enjoy a lot the experience.

Manolis is hard-working and kind-hearted, but his mother, who cooks for the volunteers is unfriendly and impolite to those who can speak Greek. Foereign volunteers won't get it, since she doesn't speak other languages.

This is a lovely place and organisation that tries to protect the skyrian horse.
You can get some information about this special breed and kids can have a ride. The horses are just lovely and the kids can get a really nice lesson about animals and how we should treat them.
If you are lucky you can may see some newborn that are extremely adorable.
Don't miss it!

The kids can also ride them. Nice to see them, and they seem to be looked after. There are volunteers from all over the world working on the farm. So language is no issue.

Called in to firstly visit the taverna of the same name, but walked over to visit the farm with the Syrian ponies instead. They were in a lovely setting, completely unharnessed and allowed to roam free with plenty of shade and overseen by a very knowledgeable and dedicated staff. They are not shod, nor do they have any trappings of the modern equestrian centres. The nearby mountain is fenced off and they can roam to their hearts content. Some are locally bred whilst some others are rescue ponies.
It is very heartening to see such a bow to nature.

I had only an hour as I was in a hurry to meet friends, but had to have a meal here. I had the Katsiki steak (Goat) Lemonato (with lemon) and it was great, with some real fresh french fries (not the frozen kind) and a beer! Will definitely go back, but the place is under some nice shady trees and great for an afternoon lunch with the family or by yourself.

This is the place to see the Skyrian horse (pony), used for agricultural work until the 1970s but then abandoned because of the advent of financially more accessible tractors, etc. There were thousands of Skyrian horses until the 1970s, now there are some 200-300. The people here are doing a great job of preserving this historical (thought to have been used by Alexander the Great's army) and endangered species - and must be helped.
Right next to the farm is probably the best restaurant (taverna) on Skyros, and a very interesting one - with enormous trees used as shades above the tables.

This is a real good place to have lunch if you like lamb chops, the best on Skyros. That means it will be busy and sevrvice a little bit slower than usual for Greek standards

Mouries is a name of a tree with a lot of leaves which covers the whole tavern.
The food is very good and the staff is nice. It should be a mandatory stop during a holiday in Skyros.
