The object of the thesis is the island of Skopelos in general and its architecture in particular. To be more specific, it begins with a brief geographical and morphological presentation of the island and all of North Sporades, where the location, geology and some of the most important places-villages of the island are presented. The research is followed by a throwback to prehistoric times, when there was the first evidence of the colonization of the island  and continues to historical times, reaching up to the beginning of last century, when it becomes an independent municipality.

The main part of the research deals with the morphology of the traditional houses found in Skopelos. In the first part there is a detailed presentation of the most important architectural currents that emerged and were adopted  by the islanders in their houses. The second and main part describes the basic parts the house consists of. Starting from the external morphology of the floors, there is a detailed analysis of the materials used for construction, the creation doors and the windows, as well as their frames, the roofs, the chimneys and the external surfaces. Then there is an analysis of the data relating to the transitional space between interior and exterior, such as porticoes and balconies. At the end of this part there is a discussion about the outdoors and all the elements that form it, such as the courtyard, the external verandas, the paved roads, the stone walls and the fences. Finally, there is a small reference to the components of the interior of the house, such as the elements that form the permanent equipment of each room, the furniture and the staircases.

The last part of the research refers to the architecture of two of the most important villages of the island, Glossa and Palaio Klima, which are then compared to the architecture of the village of Skopelos, as well as the problems faced when the traditional architecture of the island has to deal with new methods of construction.
