Holiday Activities
skills, inspiration, passion
Stretch your inner comedian with our stand-up comedy courses, tickle your funny bone with a comedy writing class or boost your confidence with a theatre performance course. Comedy and perfomance courses are available in both Atsitsa Bay and at The Skyros Centre in Greece, as well as Skyros HQ, The Grange by the Sea in the UK. Atsitsa Bay is a holistic holiday centre set in a stunning, natural location, right on the bay and surrounded by pine forest. With a wide range of courses and activities and an outstanding team of facilitators, it's the perfect place to be inspired and try something new. Tiana Harper is directing this week in Atsitsa.

Although all ages are represented approximately 70% are between 35-65. A huge majority - over 80 percent - report that the Skyros holiday experience had a lasting positive effect on their lives. Nearly a third of guests come back again and again - even after they have said that Skyros was the 'holiday of a lifetime'. Most people choose to live simply and comfortably in twin-shared rustic huts in the gardens. Or stay in Atsitsa's main house, subject to availability.
