Skyros has been inhabited since ancient times. During the excavations in "Palamari", in the northern part of the island, the archaeologists discovered a fortified settlement from the Bronze Age (2500-1800 v. Chr.) with impressive walls. On Skyros has survived since antiquity the Skyros horse (Equus caballus skyriano), a small rare breed.
