We’re so excited to team up with Aristoula Toli and Stacie Peroulas for a trip to Skyros for their incredible Apokries (Carnival) traditions. This trip is designed to help you experience and understand the spirit of these ancient traditions and celebrations. Skyros is a special island, and its Apokries is one of the best-known in Greece.
We’ve planned a trip to make it easy (and fun, of course) for an intimate crew to celebrate these traditions together. Skyros books up for this months in advance; luckily for y’all, we reserved a block of rooms :)
Apokries is a special time in Greece right before the beginning of Lent. We hope you'll join us for the incredibly unique, authentic experience!
