SUN, SEA AND A SENSE OF COMMUNITY

Skyros is its delightful natural environment, the great courses run by top professionals and, as many say, its delicious, healthy food. However, more than anything else Skyros is its community and its ethos. Taking pride in it, even at times that the instinct towards community seems to be becoming extinct, seems a little paradoxical. Yet it is the community and its spirit that, more than anything else, gives people wings to fly.
 


The community gives everyone a sense of belonging to something larger than one’s own self. It provides direction, safety, self-esteem and meaning and purpose in the daily life. It also provides the motivation to strive for personal uniqueness, ie the individuality that in our times is falsely identified with individualism. Feeling you belong to a living, organic, believing community, active in fulfilling some unfulfilled, perhaps unrealised purpose, sets people free and empowers them to dream again.
 


In its world, individuals make a positive contribution towards the community‘s welfare or, more precisely, demonstrate with deeds the noble and generous side of their nature. That’s how they honour their friends, partners and fellow members. Goodness is cultivated, and then realised, not in isolation, but through its active exercise in relation to other people. In turn, this is how they are accepted themselves as esteemed members of their world, honoured for their giving as opposed to their buying power.
 


And that’s just Skyros’ starting point....
 


If you have been with us before, come again. If you haven’t, join us now. It may well be one of your life’s best decisions!

With our best wishes,
