Skyros has been the subject of numerous features in the British and foreign press over the years. The very short extracts on this page represent only a tiny sample of the vast publicity given to an organisation, which does not even have a PR department.
"I’d never laughed so much or enjoyed such a range of emotions – all in the space of a fortnight – with such a great bunch of caring, supportive people. I returned rejuvenated, healthy and more positive, and with three new close friends."
"We got on the ferry as total strangers and came off it after two hours as firm friends... What could be more rewarding than spending your holiday in a beautiful place and returning with a new skill?... It was a magical fortnight. I felt absolutely liberated."
