Skyros Blog

So many people choose to holiday with us year after year. If you are thinking of joining us for the very first time, this newsletter is for you! Discover just some of the unique elements of a holiday in Atsitsa on Skyros island, Greece this summer to help you on your way to the holiday you can take home with you. Skyros has been described by The Guardian as 'The First and Still the Best' alternative holiday and is now in its 37th year!

Unspoiled Gorgeous Location: Atsitsa Bay is on Skyros Island’s pine forested western coast. Courses are held outdoors on beautiful stone terraces, between the pine forest and the sea. You are free to do as much or as little as you want. There is always time to sunbathe, swim, walk in the forest and enjoy the tranquility of the bay. The evenings are taken up by parties, lively discussions and spontaneous, often hilarious events!

Discover New Abilities: Our fantastic, experienced, renowned facilitators lead the many courses offered. A holiday in Atsitsa is a superb opportunity to try something new. Courses suit all abilities and ages and are chosen on arrival. Take up to three per weekday from yoga, wellbeing, art, writing, comedy, photography, swimming, windsurfing, abseiling, dance, trapeze, music and much more. It's only in Atsitsa that you have such a wide choice.

Be Part of the Community: The beauty of Atsitsa is its simplicity, its intimate connection with nature and its culture that enables everyone to thrive. In its lively community atmosphere you can relax and be yourself and, as so often happens, make new friends, develop new interests, skills or even a whole new way forward. This is underlined by an ethos that supports being rather than having, creating rather than consuming and cooperating rather than competing. Atsitsa is an exceptional holiday for solo travellers.

Enjoy Excellent Food & Drink: All meals are included in the price of your holiday. The meals, Mediterranean in style, use locally sourced seasonal fruit and vegetables, natural yogurts and cheese, pulses and grains. Meat or fish is served in the evenings and vegetarian and special dietary requirements are catered for. All you have to do is just leave enough room for atempting dessert! Tea and coffee are available all day and other drinks and alcohol can be purchased at the bar.
