I first visited Sendoukia as a small child. I had heard many stories about hidden treasures, close to an abyss that reaches far down to the sea. Could it be true? Nobody knows but what we do know for sure is that there are unique ancient graves sculptured into stone.

They are situated at Mt. Karia on Skopelos exactly above the monastery of St. Eustathios. You will reach the place by following the dirt road towards Karia where the well with the islands best water can be found.

There are many road signs. Suddenly the road stops, you leave your car or motorbike. Follow the red paint blots on the stones along the narrow path, you will soon arrive at the Sendoukia.

From there you have an outstanding view to Alonnisos and Evia. In very good weather maybe even see as far as Halkidiki and Mt. Olumpus!

The Venetian castle is situated on the site of the island's oldest settlement Peparethos. It forms one unit with the rest of the town.

The castle is visible from every part of the town and is the place you will reach when climbing the steps from the church Panagitsa tou Purgou at the edge of the harbor.

Today it is of both archeological and tourist interest, as, at its summit you will meet Giorgos Xintaris, one of the leading exponents of the Rempetika music.

The bishop seat Episcope with its Basilica church inside, is a Venetian building and was predestined as seat of Skopelos' bishop but remained unfinished because of the invasion of the pirate Barbarosa (1538).

It was rebuilt during the end of 16th and the beginning of the 17th century. Erected on the foundations of a large Byzantine Basilica, which previously had been built on the ruins of an early Christian church, which in turn had been erected on top of an ancient table as unfortunately was the habit then.
