The Skyros Centre, home to the Writer’s Lab, the Life Choices programme and the Art Studio, nestles on the hillside at the edge of Skyros village. Built high up to evade the clutches of Mediterranean pirates, the village is accessible only by foot through narrow, cobblestoned streets. The long, sandy beach is a pleasant ten minute walk away. The Centre’s courtyard, shaded by fig and pomegranate trees, has a panoramic view of the valley and the Aegean.

Here you can step back from everyday routines immerse yourself in absorbing activities and relax in the company of new friends. As one participant wrote, 'Skyros is sunshine for the soul’. There is plenty of time to get a massage, spend time on the long, sandy beaches or sit in a cafe and watch village life pass by.

The day begins with early morning yoga followed by breakfast and then, the centrepiece of the day, the late morning courses. These run for three hours per day, for five days. Choose one course per week from any of the three programmes that run alongside each other. Book in advance to secure your favourites. Once you’re at the Skyros Centre and subject to space you can, if you choose, change your mind and attend a different course in the second week. 

In the evenings people usually meet for dinner in the village. Whether one goes for stuffed tomatoes or grilled fish at a taverna by the sea, dinner is almost a spiritual experience. With the night always young, there may well be dancing until late or walking in the moonlight through the magical landscape.

Our prices include twin-shared accommodation in traditional Greek apartments, half board meals: breakfast and lunch and on the final day it will be breakfast and dinner and your chosen course. The food is traditional Greek cuisine presented buffet style.
