Bourtzi is a small peninsula that divides the port of Skiathos into two distant parts.

Bourtzi is a small peninsula that divides the port of Skiathos into two distinct parts: the new port and the old port. Once it was a fort built by the Gizi brothers to face the raids of the pirates, delimited by impregnable walls and with towers situated on both sides of the main gate. Today the Bourtzi peninsula is a popular place on the island to enjoy a drink at sunset, take photos or rest in the shade of a pine tree. The school that was built here in 1906 has become a splendid cultural center; inside the premises there are exclusive conference rooms and a theater that hosts theatrical and musical performances.
