Neo Klima (Elios)

The earthquake of March 1965 had its centre off Alonissos, but it shook the whole of the Sporades. On Skopelos some 1,500 houses fell or were badly damaged and about 900 more were cracked. Klima, on its hill above the west coast, was among the worst hit, and its families moved down to the shore to build a new village, which they named Neo Klima, 'New Klima'.

Old Klima, built in tiers of stone houses looking west to Skiathos and Evia, has its church of Agioi Anargyroi of 1828 and narrow stone lanes, and some of its houses have been bought and restored. The walk up from the coast is short and steep.
