We have teamed up with retreat company Nefeli Nine to bring you a taste of the real Greece. The concept is based on emulating the lifestyles in 'Blue zones' where people live longer and better lives. The main pillars of the retreats are a healthy, mainly plant based diet, daily guided hikes exploring the flora and fauna of the beautiful Greek countryside and coastline and stress release practices such as yoga or massage. Plus there are some special treats like a visit to a traditional Greek fish taverna and an organic farm for a real taste of Greece. This retreat is for those who want to experience the sights, sounds and smells of Greece while keeping active and relaxing the mind. There are limited spaces so contact us to register your interest.
Stephanie is the founder of Nefelinine Retreat and she will be your main point of contact. She will also be taking care of all delicious food you eat at the retreat!
'Love for Fitness & Sport: this was something I developed later in life. As a child I was extremely ‘unsporty’ (I loved ballet and all things girly!) but with time this changed, and sport became the reason I woke up in the morning. During my adult life sport has always been important as it makes me feel better. It is through sport that I have met most of my friends. It has taught me how to work with people, how to achieve my goals, even how to set goals that are attainable. This is something I want to share with people, to inspire people to use yoga and fitness to make changes in their life. Physical change stimulates mental change!!'
Yoga classes will be run by yoga teacher Eirini:
"Back in 2014, my curiosity about Eastern philosophy and the existential crisis I was going through led me to my first yoga class in Greece in Syros where I studied. Since then I have been a dedicated yoga practitioner making Yoga a way of life. After spending many hours on my mat, evolving my practice daily, I decided to take a step forward and fulfil my dream of becoming a yoga instructor. In October 2018 I completed my 200-Hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training with Yoke Yoga in Melbourne, Australia and since then I have been teaching. For me, Yoga translates into making peace with ourselves, uniting the body, mind and breath and allowing the mind to sink into the heart. Then peace arises as we fully surrender to the stillness of the mind. "
Archelaos will be your Hiking Guide:
"My name is Archelaos and I have been working as an adventure guide for 5 years now. I love doing outdoor activities like rock climbing, mountain biking and hiking and I feel blessed for having the chance to turn my hobby into my job. There is nothing better than exploring nature’s gifts and sharing them with other people.
I am half Greek, half German and I grew up in the beautiful city of Athens, Greece. Ever since my childhood I’ve been looking for the frequent contact with our mother nature.
As a nature lover I have a great interest in flora and I like sharing this knowledge with my fellow travelers. Through nature exploration and observation we can learn many interesting things and feel the fulfillment and enthusiasm that nature can give us. My priority is always to make you feel joyful and save under my guidance."
