Activities at Atsitsa Bay, Greece

Let Yourself Go In Words with Stephen Clarke

Sun 16 - Sat 29 Jun 2024

Writing is accessible to everyone, you just need to find your own very personal voice and then exercise it, like a muscle. Writing has to be enjoyable, and it's possible for everyone to gain the self-assurance and sense of fun necessary if you're going to express yourself freely and in your own unique, personal way.

What's included?

Stephen's course is held in Atsitsa Bay on Skyros island in Greece and is part of the wide range of courses and activities available. The holiday includes full board twin shared accommodation in an eco-hut. Single upgrades and twin shares in the house are available. Chat through the website, call +44 (0)1983 86 55 66 or email holidays@skyros.com to discuss your requirements.
