Escape, Unwind and Refresh In Amorgos Island, Greece

Escape with us to a little piece of my homeland in the Cycladic Island of Amorgos. I have been asked for years to do a retreat to Greece and now I'm excited for this opportunity to share my country with you. Enjoy two yoga classes per day in the beautiful yoga shalas led by me and special guest teacher Jo Parsons. We will be alternating between power vinyasa, yin and soft flow. Classes will be appropriate for all levels. During your free time you have the option to choose different group activities that the island offers such as treking, swimming, sailing, scuba or just relaxing on the various beaches or by the pool. A full list of activities can be seen below. Enjoy the amazing views of this dramatic island, visit ancient sites perched on cliffs, shop the boutiques in the small village streets. You will experience the best of Greek culture sharing conversations over great meals, with sunsets and the beauty of the island before you.

Unwind with unlimited use of the Lalon Idor Spa Facilities including sauna, hammam, jacuzzi, indoor heated swimming pool and fitness center at the Aegialis Hotel. The name of the Spa is taken from the story of the ancient water oracle dedicated to god Apollo, where visitors came seeking clarity and answers in prophetic water readings.

Amorgos offers the traditional Cycladic architecture and culture without being overrun with tourists and visiting cruise ships. September is an excellent time to visit with most of the summer visitors having left and the heat waves of the summer reduced to beautiful temperatures and calm seas.

Join us for this opportunity to journey into Greek culture at its best.

On Amorgos, our home is a beautiful 5-star spa hotel with spectacular views, owned by a local family who welcomes us with Greek hospitality. A path leads to two amazing beaches. All rooms are Superior with balconies and sea views. We will have two delicious meals at the hotel each day. The food is amazing and the chef features family recipes with locally sourced ingredients. We will also alternate eating lunch or dinner outside the hotel to experience the other amazing restaurant options on the island. Eating out is so enjoyable in Greece we want some flexibility and diversity. There are several yoga-practice spaces all overlooking the bay, an excellent, full-service spa and a juice bar.
