Overview

In a fairytale-like forest location, high above Lake Plastira, Montanema Handmade Village is the ultimate mountain setting for our northern Greece Hiking and Yoga Retreat. Surrounded by nature, you'll enjoy complete tranquility, not to mention views across the blue waters and the Agrafa Mountains.

Mornings begin with yoga and are followed by guided hikes through forest trails and mountain paths, taking in the spectacular scenery of the region. Afternoons are left free for you to do as you please, whether that's reading on a sunny terrace or swimming in the central village pool, before you come back together as a group for the second yoga session of the day. 

The accommodation is made up of stone-built lodges and cottages, welcoming and traditional with wooden interiors, fireplaces and a cosy feel. You can also expect fresh, nourishing cuisine prepared lovingly by your host, Stephanie.

What’s on the menu?

Food plays a big role here, with the focus on dishes that are simple, fresh and nourishing. Meals are made using local, seasonal ingredients, with a mainly plant-based menu free from processed sugars and anything artificial.

Cooking is led by your host, Stephanie, who brings a relaxed, feel-good approach to healthy eating. If you’d prefer, organic meat or fresh fish can be arranged at an extra cost.

Meals are shared around a communal table, so dining is social and relaxed.




LOCATION

Montanema Handmade Village is tucked away in the forests of the Agrafa Mountains in Thessaly, close to the shores of Lake Plastira – a scenic, man-made lake surrounded by fir-covered peaks. With an elevation of 1,350 metres, on a clear day, you can see all the way to Mount Olympus.

The nearest airport is Athens, with a transfer time of just under four hours. A stop for lunch is included along the way. Return airport transfers are included, and your host will meet you in the arrivals hall (look for a Nefeli Nine sign with your name on it!).

Families, Children & Infants
