Join Skyros, the leading holistic holiday, on the charming Greek island of Skyros for the launch of their 34th season! Whether it's one of the many inspiring courses, Greek sunshine, sea, or even the opportunity to build new friendships, relationships and interests - Skyros has it all. There's a wide selection of holidays available, including one and two week options to cater for varying budgets, making this summer is the ideal time to try something new: www.skyros.com

On a Skyros holiday you can stretch the body in a yoga class, try some windsurfing, begin the novel you've been dreaming about or create your own mosaics masterpiece. You can make your own music, dance to the rhythms of salsa, experiment with stand-up comedy or take a look at what you really need in life. Courses, usually held outdoors in the beautiful landscape, are inspiring and entertaining. But far more than its courses, Skyros offers a unique community life - informal, friendly and relaxed - that brings people together in a way daily life rarely does.

Skyros Island in Greece, an island of outstanding natural beauty, is home to Skyros two main holiday centres: The Skyros Centre and Astitsa Bay.
