Frequently asked questions
Who was Alexandros Papadiamantis?
A Greek writer, born on Skiathos in 1851 and died there in 1911, regarded as one of the major figures of modern Greek literature. He wrote roughly three novels and more than 180 short stories about village life on Skiathos and the poor quarters of Athens. He is nicknamed the saint of Greek letters. Skiathos's main street and its airport are both named after him.
Where is the Papadiamantis museum in Skiathos?
In Skiathos Town, on or just off Papadiamantis Street, in the two-storey house where the writer lived and died. The lower floor is preserved as his home with original furniture and personal possessions.
What are the Papadiamantis House Museum opening hours?
We could not establish them reliably — two incompatible schedules are published and two different entry fees, €1.50 and €2, are quoted. Since the house is a few minutes' walk from anywhere in the town centre, check the door rather than trusting a published time.
