Archaeological Museum of Skyros
The Archaeological Museum of Skyros houses important artifacts that highlight the island’s long and continuous history, which stretches back to ancient times. Founded in 1963, the museum is located in Skyros Town (Chora), next to Brook Square, making it an easy and rewarding stop while exploring the historic center.
The museum features two exhibition rooms displaying archaeological finds from various parts of the island. The collections span a wide period, from the Early Helladic era (2800–1900 BC) to the Roman period (1st century BC), offering visitors a comprehensive overview of Skyros’ ancient past.
Among the most notable exhibits is an extensive pottery collection, primarily discovered in Chora and Palamari, along with jewelry such as necklaces and pins, and even early beekeeping tools dating back to 2800 BC. Highlights include a Cypriot flask, an Attic Geometric pyxis with sculpted horse figures on its lid, and a striking zoomorphic rhyton, a ritual vessel shaped like a horse.
A unique feature of the museum is a specially designed space recreating a traditional Skyrian house, exactly as it would have appeared in the past. This section displays everyday household items, decorative objects, and traditional costumes, offering visitors a glimpse into local life and customs. The collection belongs to L. Kostiri, dedicated to the memory of her brother, archaeologist I. Papadimitriou.
