the history of neo- Klima
The settlement of New Klima was created only in 1981. The locals decided to move to the seaside to develop a more touristy settlement. In addition, the great earthquake that occurred in 1965 almost destroyed the village of Palio Klima, where they lived until then. The reasons that prompted the inhabitants of the Palio Klima to move are the destruction of the village by the earthquake, the constant landslides, and the people’s desire to be near the sea.
Palio Klima is 3 km away from Elios. A special feature is its stone houses. In recent years most people have renovated their homes.
where the name elios comes from
Skopelos is an island full of legends. The fearless female pirate Adrina, Prince Stafilos, and Saint Riginos. Each name hides some of the island’s interesting history. Part of this story is the picturesque Elios.
The legend related to Elios claims that about 800 years ago a terrible dragon appeared in Skopelos, killing the islanders. No one could live in Skopelos anymore. Hopefully, Saint Riginos informed of this tragic situation, came to Skopelos and destroyed the monster.
Elios Beach got its name when Saint Riginos landed on Skopelos, found in the Neo Clima area, and exclaimed, “Where in God’s mercy (eleos) is the monster”.
