Forget about Glastonbury... Come to Skyros!


This August and September, you'll find a new variety of sounds floating across the Aegean as holidaymakers joining Skyros Holidays get musically attuned to the best the music world can offer! Guests on our renowned holidays on Skyros island will be able to take part in a number of different musical workshops run by experts from a whole spectrum of creative backgrounds. Chart topping singer Sarah Warwick, who has three number one hits under her belt, drummer and singer Tom Morley of pop group Scritti Politti fame, contemporary jazz singer Kate Daniels and expert in creative digital music making Colin Williams, will be just some of the facilitators there to share their talents. For more information see www.Skyros.com.

From perfecting their pitch to creating a musical masterpiece, guests will be able to let the melody run through them during their time with Skyros. And for those who believe they are tone deaf, or perhaps have two left feet, all the more reason to come along! The safe and supportive community found on a Skyros holiday provides the ideal atmosphere to try out those things you've never dared before.

Skyros island lies o
ff the east coast of Greece and offers a perfect environment for all things creative. Whether visiting Atsitsa Bay or the Skyros Centre, participants can divide their time between relaxation and creative inspiration, with courses in music, art, writing, comedy and much more. One of our top performers/facilitators is Arthur Smith, renowned comedian, writer and broadcaster, who is currently appearing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. After performing all over the world and writing every form of comedy from stand up to one-liners to full-length plays and screenplays, Arthur will return to Skyros for his second year teaching at the Writer's Lab. He will be joined by a whole host of famous authors such as Monique Roffey and Louisa Young.

So what are you waiting for? All the world's a stage, and we challenge you to find one better than Skyros island...
