This is the house where the modern Greek writer Pavlos Nirvanas lived. It is an excellent example of local folk architecture of the "Macedonian type". The two-storey building now houses the Historical Museum of Skopelos, from ancient times until today. It is located in the center of Skopelos, next to the church of the Three Hierarchs.

In the center of Skopelos, there is Vakratsa Mansion. Inside the mansion, you can see relics and personal belongings of Vakratsa family. The mansion, which has been donated to the Municipality of Skopelos, remains unchanged over time, taking the visitor back to the 19th century atmosphere of the island.

At the top of the hill above the town of Skopelos, you will see the remains of the ancient wall that surrounded the citadel of ancient Peparethos, as well as parts of what was added in Byzantine and Venetian times. The view from the castle is impressive.

In the area of Episkopi you will find the Venetian fort of 16th to 17th century. The stone wall with small windows and battlements surrounds a small church, built on the ruins of a large three-aisled basilica church. In some places you can see carved animal figures.
