Established in 1979, Skyros is Europe's leading alternative holiday – 'the first and still the best' as described by The Guardian. A Skyros holiday engages the individual in courses, activities and events that open the heart, expand the mind, recharge the body and uplift the spirit.

With holidays in Greece, Thailand, Cuba, Cambodia and an offshoot in the Isle of Wight, Skyros offers a wide range of courses facilitated by a distinguished international staff. Courses are inspiring, entertaining and are usually held outdoors in the beautiful landscape. Wherever you holiday, the Skyros community – informal, friendly, relaxed, and yet very vibrant – brings people together in a way daily life rarely does. Its safe and congenial atmosphere makes it possible to feel immediately at home.

Atsitsa Bay in Greece offers a holistic programme of yoga, dance, sailing, art, music and much more, whilst the Skyros Village Centre offers an in-depth Life Coaching programme and a Writing programme with award-winning authors. Skyros-in-Thailand offers courses amidst the luxury of a 5-star beach resort and Skyros-in-Cuba the opportunity to learn authentic Cuban Salsa. Skyros-in-Cambodia offers a unique tour in the company of like-minded people.

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 a new sense of direction. The sense of renewed confidence and excitement about life is palpable. Poet Hugo Williams described Skyros as the holiday ‘you can take home with you’.

‘Let your hair down, take risks, expand horizons, go on a Skyros holiday’. Mariella Frostrup, The Independent
