The Sendoukia tombs in Skopelos

This is one of the more mysterious sights of Skopelos and one of the most difficult to find. The tombs of Sendoukia are located on highest peak of Skopelos at Mount Delphi. You can walk up but you need to be a very strong hiker to get there.
Most take transport through the pretty hamlet of Karia and follow the signs to Delphi.
The road runs out eventually and it’s a 20 minute climb up the mountain track through pine woods to the top.

Here a path is waymarked with red spots to Sendoukia where several tombs appear to have been carved out of solid rock. Massive stone covers lie askew near each of the hollowed out tombs. Various theories are held on whose tombs they were, from pirates to Romans but the panoramic spot and the difficulty of carving out the sold rock suggest they were people of some importance.

Needless to say but there are panoramic vistas over the whole island with Alonissos clearly seen and, on clearest days they say you can even see coast of Halkidiki.
