Skyros, the beautiful island of the Northern Sporades, is famous for the exceptional quality of its cheese products, which are made from fresh local milk sourced mainly from the island’s goats, but also from a fairly large number of sheep. These products are intertwined with the tradition and love of the locals for their land, but also for the art of cheese making that has been passed down from generation to generation.
