Photographic Centre

Photographic Centre

The natural beauty of Skopelos has been a constant source of inspiration for writers and poets, artists and intellectuals. What inspired us at the Ministry of Culture was not only the natural beauty of the island but also its people and their initiatives. By placing these cultural events under its patronage, the Ministry of Culture has in fact decided that Skopelos will be among the first cities to be included in the National Cultural Cities Network-a major project which will be instrumental in the realisation of our dream of creating wide ranging cultural institutions all over our country.

Thanos Mikroutsikos, Minister of Culture 1994
