English | German | Swedish

Sung about by Homer and full of ancient memories, Skyros is a magical, ancient isle, about 100 miles north-east of Athens. Choose either the Skyros Centre, in picturesque Skyros Village, or Atsitsa Bay, right by the sea and in the arms of a magnificent pine forest. Either way, you'll have a holiday to remember.

Skyros-in-Thailand is hosted in the tropical Samed Cabana Resort, nestled on the edge of a white sand, palm-fringed beach on the magical island of Koh Samed. The island lies 141 miles southeast of Bangkok, an area of exceptional beauty and part of a marine National Park.

Havana, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is one of the oldest, grandest and safest cities in the Americas. It is also one of the loveliest. The high concentration of museums, galleries and the stunning vibrancy of Cuban music and dance combine with the tropical climate to give it a cultural punch well beyond its size and economic status.

The renowned temples of Angkor, with the magnificent Angkor Wat, are among Southeast Asia's historical and cultural highlights and listed as a World Heritage Site. Experience the awe and wonder of visiting these temples, plus enjoy some of the country's other great cities including Siem Reap, Phnom Penh and Battambang, on this 10-day overland tour.

The Grange by the Sea, on the east coast of the Isle of Wight, is a gorgeous Georgian country house with comfortable 4-star guest accommodation listed in the AA's Best British B&B Guide. Home of the Skyros head office, The Grange offers weekend courses, b&b and reunions.

Skyros, ‘the first and still the best’ alternative holiday according to The Guardian, offers outstanding courses, activities and events in idyllic locations that open the heart, expand the mind, recharge the body and uplift the spirit.

On a Skyros holiday you can stretch the body in a yoga class, try some windsurfing, learn to dance to the rhythms of salsa, create your own mosaics masterpiece, start the novel you have been thinking about or take a look at what you really need in life. Courses, usually held outdoors in the beautiful landscape, are inspiring and entertaining. Do as much or as little as you want. Relax and enjoy the good food and company.

But more than its courses, Skyros offers a way of living in which everyone has a part to play. Its community – informal, friendly, relaxed, and yet vibrant – brings people together in a way that makes it possible for everyone to feel immediately at home.

The benefits of a Skyros holiday last long after the suntan has faded. They include new friendships and relationships, new interests, a fresh outlook or even a whole new way forward. The sense of renewed confidence and excitement about life is palpable. But don't just take our word for it. Take a look at our online guestbook for comments from some of the thousands of people who have joined us over the years.

Poet Hugo Williams described Skyros as 'the holiday you can take home with you’. Elle magazine described it as ‘magically successful thanks to its unique alchemy of people, settings and ideals.’

If this strikes a chord with you, we welcome you to experience the Skyros magic for yourself. Come and make 2012 your year for adventure.

Skyros attracts mostly solo holiday makers from all over the world. Although all ages are represented, from 5 to 85, approximately 70 per cent of all participants are aged 30– 60. During school holidays families are also part of the mix. Participants are overwhelmingly professionals – from teachers and nurses to IT experts, managers and entrepreneurs. A huge majority – over 80 per cent – report that the Skyros experience had a lasting positive effect on their lives. Nearly a third come back again and again – even after they have said that Skyros was the ‘holiday of a lifetime’.

‘At the end our group was as close as many friends become in a lifetime’. The Daily Mail
