Late Availability: Last-Minute Retreats for Solo Travellers in Greece

Final summer places now open for creative and yoga holidays on the island of Skyros. As late summer approaches, Skyros Holidays, the original holistic retreat company, offers a rare opportunity for solo travellers, creatives, and those seeking reconnection to experience a meaningful escape before the season ends.

With just three retreats remaining in their 2025 programme, now is the perfect time to unplug, reflect, and rediscover joy on the Greek island of Skyros. Wellness travel, without the overwhelm In a world full of wellness trends, Skyros offers something more grounded: creative expression, gentle movement, community, and rest.

Here, yoga meets storytelling, sea swims meet self-discovery, and guests often leave feeling more like themselves. “I arrived exhausted and left with a steadiness I hadn't felt in years.” – A.W,

Skyros guest With over 80% of Skyros guests travelling solo, these retreats are ideal for those who want to travel alone without feeling alone. Many return year after year for the simplicity, soulfulness, and connection that Skyros is known for. “There's something about this place that brings people back to themselves. It's not just the setting, it's the space we create for people to feel seen, supported, and creatively alive.” – Christine Schulz, Director, Skyros Holidays Final

The science of creative retreating Recent studies back what Skyros guests already know: retreats that combine creativity, nature, and community support long-term wellbeing. A 2024 review in Frontiers in Psychology found that immersive creative practices significantly reduced anxiety. Research from the University of Exeter also linked time in nature with improved nervous system regulation and emotional resilience – core pillars of the Skyros approach.
