Skiathos, Greece, September 2023 - Jan & Jan-Jan's Rejseklubben

After the Greek Revolution, the town of Kastro was abandoned and the locals moved to the port where a new town was constructed. Boatbuilding started again. Skiathos inspired many poets, writers, and artists, including Alexandros Papadiamantis and Alexandros Moraitidis.

The Town of Skiathos was greatly damaged by German bombs during the Nazi occupation of Greece. On September 14th, 1943, the Nazi troops sank the Greek submarine Lambros Katsonis off the coasts of Skiathos and every year the Katsonia Festival commemorates this sad event. In the years of the Nazi occupation, Kastro became a refuge for Greek revolutionaries, British, Australians, and New Zealanders. After the war, the economic and social life of Skiathos developed rapidly.
