On a Skyros holiday you can start the novel you've been thinking about, create your own artistic masterpiece, join a comedy-improvisation workshop, sing your favourite songs or take a look at what you really need in life. The wide range of courses and activities available includes yoga, writing, art, photography, health & wellbeing, windsurfing, personal development, abseiling, dance, music and much more. The holiday is ideal for solo travellers as well as couples, friends and families.

But more than its holiday courses, Skyros thrives on its peerless culture. Within it you can be yourself, reconnect with your essence, express your creativity, laugh as you haven't since childhood and make new friends for life.

The benefits of a Skyros holiday last long after the suntan has faded. They include new friendships and relationships, interests and skills, renewed self-confidence, a fresh outlook or even a whole new way forward. The sense of renewed confidence and excitement about life is palpable. If this strikes a chord with you, then join us and experience the Skyros magic for yourself...
