The topic of this assignment is to approach the architectural image and expression of Skiathos, an island in the North Aegean, during the 20th century. The post-war period is of particular interest as in the context of modernization and Greek reconstruction, manipulations are being carried out with the aim of economic recovery that will create both positive and negative effects. Rapid tourism development has been one of the key components of the restructuring plan, which aimed at both the inflow of foreign exchange and the construction of a Western-style concept of vacations and summer leisure. The main axis of implementation of this goal was the architectural creation, producing an important building stock of post-war modernism projects with interesting elements in terms of implementation conditions, the means of expression used, the forms of living they surrounded and their outcome.

Therefore, we can consider that the recording of buildings - examples of Skiathos of the 20th century works in the elaboration of the work, as a basic source of the coexistence of various architectural trends and the continuity or discontinuity that they present in the urban tissue. Architectural works that are selected in Skiathos will attract interest, and will be an important attraction during the 20th century, as they are examples of the evolution of the island's landscape and are considered to be able to portray Greece's international face as a tourist and holiday destination.

In the country of Skiathos, due to the small building stock, which is due to the great fire during the Second World War, the post-war reconstruction will be expressed differently, as the tourism industry will shape the cosmopolitan image of the island by creating reference points-symbols. The architectural examples selected in Skiathos are to be explored in the context of a single and collective direction in the design of the specific period, but also in the context of their role at the level of the local community.
