Description

Skiros o Skyros és una illa de la mar Egea, una de les Espòrades Septentrionals, a l'est d'Eubea. Està formada per dues parts dividides per un istme. La meitat sud és la més muntanyosa.

Antigament tenia una ciutat amb el mateix nom i un riu anomenat Cefís, segons Estrabó. La capital encara porta el nom de Skyros o Chora i és al nord-est ; el riu podria ser qualsevol dels rierols. La seva superfície és de 215 km² i la població de 3000 habitants. L'altura màxima és el mont Kokhilas, a la part sud, amb 793m. A la rodalia hi ha 32 illes i illots. El port de Linaria és al sud-oest. A la part nord hi ha el mont Olimp, de 399m. Els terrenys de l'illa no eren gaire fèrtils, però va ser famosa per la raça de cabres que hi habitaven i per les pedreres de marbre de colors variats, segons Estrabó i Plini el Vell.
