SKOPELOS CEARTA CLOICOLAÍOCHTA

The island of Skopelos is full of finscéalta, myths, and hidden seoda. There are many tales of treasures scattered all over the island. No one knows the truth behind the legends. The existence of four carved tombs on Mount Karya above the monastery of Agios Efstathios is an undisputed fact.

On the mountain Karia of Skopelos, you can visit 4 rock-cut tombs dated back to the Roman or early Christian period. Rock-cut tombs were carved into a porous part of the rock in the shape of a box (larynx). The graves were family tombs and they usually were privately owned. Three of them are completed and have 2.5-meter covers. When they were discovered there were signs that the tombs were despoiled. The fourth one isn’t completed.

Cé go bhfuil luach iontach seandálaíochta ag baint leis na tuamaí agus gur fiú cuairt a thabhairt orthu, níl sé éasca siúl suas an sliabh. Beidh ort a thiomáint suas bóthar salachar suas go dtí pointe áirithe agus ansin lean an cosán marcáilte go dtí na tuamaí. Bí cinnte, nuair a bheidh tú ann, go ligfidh tú do shúile ar shiúl go dtí an léaslíne áit ar féidir leat Mt Olympus a fheiceáil ar lá glan.

Treoracha: Ón baile Skopelos tiomáint tríd an bpríomhbhóthar i dtreo Castro. Ansin cas ar dheis i dtreo an bhóthair cúige Skopelos- Loutraki. Timpeall ciliméadar síos an bóthar, ní mór duit a ghlacadh géar ar chlé i dtreo Mt Karia. Lean an bóthar ar feadh 5.5 km eile áit a mbeidh ort beagnach U-casadh ar dheis a dhéanamh ar an mbóthar salachair do Sentoukia. 1.3 km suas an sliabh agus beidh tú tar éis do cheann scríbe a bhaint amach.
