Contact the creative you

Skyros, the leading holistic holiday, offers a wealth of opportunity for creative expression this summer. The Skyros Centre in Greece, which first opened its doors thirty years ago, has three creative holidays to choose from - Life Choices, the Writers' Lab and the Music & Arts programme.

The Life Choices programme, open to anyone facing change or transition, boasts an impressive team of internationally renowned facilitators, including Dina Glouberman, the Skyros Co-founder and author of the acclaimed ‘The Joy of Burnout’.

Alternatively, the acclaimed Writers' Lab, recently named No. 1 of The Guardian’s ‘World’s Best Writing Holidays’, is facilitated by a mixture of novelists, creative writing lecturers and newspaper columnists, and promises to get even complete novices writing.

Alongside it, there is the Music and Arts programme, new this year, which is open to all who want to explore the creative side of themselves through a range of media, from dance, singing and watercolour to photography and much more.

Courses convene for three hours each morning, which amounts to roughly 27 hours of course tuition over a two-week holiday. Early morning yoga and one-off Greek events such as Greek dancing and wine tasting will also be available to all participants. Afternoons are left free for the beach and exploration, or perhaps a siesta.

Skyros island is unspoilt and full of charm, being 'one of the prettiest of all Greek islands'. With its winding cobbled streets and local tavernas selling traditional Greek fare, guests are sure to be enchanted with their stay in Skyros village.

An offer of £100.00 off the transfer to the island is available to those who book a Skyros Centre course by May the 15th and pay in full. The £145.00 transfer, available now for only £45.00, includes an overnight stay in the 5-star Metropolitan in Athens and coach and ferry return transfer to Skyros Island.
