Press
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.
"The beautiful Skyros Centre offers an adventure in health and fitness as well as meals without meat."
"Los programas veraniegos que se organizan en Londres reúnen participantes de todas partes del mundo. Por lo general son gente de éxito on contentos con sus carreras profesionales y que sin embargo gozan de esa sana insatisfacción que incita a investigar, curiosear y experimentar si el éxito, el fracaso, las relaciones en familia, o los hobbies, son todo lo que da de si el juego de la vida."

"Even my short visit made me feel better – stretched and exhilarated as if my body had been restrung and with it, my mind was brought back into tune."

"The Skyros experience brings you closer to it all – to emotion, feeling, hurt and happiness and the ragbag of riches we carry around inside ourselves. If it helps to make everything clearer and put us more in charge, it can’t be bad. And the sun keeps on shining over the Aegean!"

"Simply the best holiday I ever had - it worked on every level."

"I felt alive and inspired, did some acting for the first time in many years, tried out a little gentle psychotherapy and learned to windsurf. I ate well, got fitter...went brown, slept deeply, laughed more than I had in ages and felt great."

"For me, there was not just the delight of the island but the chance to learn from the mirror others offered me and to try out bits of myself I'd forgotten were there."
March 1985
"De mensen de hierop afkomen gaan niet zozeer gebukt onder de problemen, maar willen een wending ann hun leven geven. Ze hebben er behoefte aan bewust in het leven te staan. Je moet wel een beetje avontuurlijk ingesteld zijn om dit te willen doen."
January 1985
"What my inner self has taken from the whole experience is a sense of going beyond boundaries and realising that sport and community are also a path of yoga."
January 1985
"I am very glad I shared the Magic of Skyros with those who formed the community. If you are thinking of going - do it. I am sure it’s a decision you will never regret."
December 1984
"The quality of the teaching staff is very high and the aims of the centre are not only valuable but also very much part of the ancient Greek idea of wholeness on which holistic health is based."
