Greek Island Retreat offers transformative retreats in Greece on the magical island of Kythira.

Sunrise on the Aegean Sea

Small Group Yoga and Cultural Exploration of Greece

Join us for a most  memorable yoga and cultural exploration retreat first in Athens for two days and then for a week on the magical  Greek island of Kythera, a small island south of the Peloponnese in Greece.  We love this peaceful island where the Ionian and Aegean seas meet and the islanders are genuinely warm and welcoming. Each village offers a unique flavor of Greek life.

Enjoy this transformational adventure on  Aphrodite’s awe-inspiring, unspoiled island.  After two days exploring Athens we spend a week on Kythera island. There are many opportunities to relax and reflect. Your trip to Greece will be filled with optional daily yoga  practices, visits to remarkable historical sites, wonderful hikes, healthy fresh, local food, awesome, breathtaking sights and time to renew yourself! We begin with two days in Athens then fly to Kythera.

This intimate, small group retreat is designed to provide you with guided historical tours and glimpses of myth, mystery and holiness.  You will experience the healing energies of Kythera and you’ll know why so many fall in love with this gem of the Greek islands.  The explorations include: enchanted waterfalls, numerous secluded beaches, magical blue dragon flies, remnants of medieval times, authentic villages, wonderful people, many beaches and crystal clear water. 

"Other countries may offer you discoveries in manners or lore or landscape. Greece offers you something harder - the discovery of yourself."
