Calling all yogis! Embark on a one-of-a-kind yoga retreat with Tenon Tours and Blue Lotus Retreats to Greece!
This trip offers a special combination of activities so you can experience the best parts of Athens, Naxos and Sifnos while also focusing on wellness. Experience waterfront yoga sessions for all levels, accommodations in 3- and 4-star hotels, private gastronomy & wine experiences and so much more. Savor the best life has to offer on this incredible wellness retreat. A pre-night is available in Athens for extra time in Greece.
The cruise starts from Platy Yialos, offering an unforgettable day on a traditional wooden Greek boat (“Trechantiri”), giving the opportunity to enjoy the unique beauty of the Aegean Sea, swim in the crystal-clear waters and taste traditional food cooked on board. The cruise route is decided by the captain on the day as it depends on the wind conditions. Usually, the cruise route is along the Southwestern coastline or Southeastern coastline of Sifnos, visiting 3 different beautiful coves of the island, accessible only by sea. During the stops there is time for swimming and relaxing on the boat while on the second stop, which is the longest in duration, lunch is prepared and served on the boat. The cruise ends in Platis Gialos. If the sea is very calm the captain may choose, instead of doing the Southwest coastline of Sifnos (and if it is a private tour and the guests prefer so), to cross over to the uninhabited island of Poliegos and do a cruise all around Poliegos. Stops along the coastline of Poliegos for swimming and lunch onboard are also included.
Starting from your hotel we first head to the village of Eggares. Lying on a fertile plain traversed by two rivers, Eggares is the island’s main supplier of produce and a truly blessed place. Of course agriculture in Greece is tied to the cultivation of olive trees and the production of olive oil and that is exactly what we are going to take a closer look at through a visit to the village’s olive press museum. This traditional olive press dates back to 1884, however some locals will claim it has been around since the beginning of the 19th century. You will get to see the tools that were used at the time and learn about the process of manual olive oil extraction that has been in use for millennia, and now belongs to the past. Having learnt everything about olive oil it is now time to use it!
Situated on the same plain as Eggares is the nearby village of Galini (meaning “serenity”) where we will set out on a gastronomic quest with the help of our host and teacher, Mrs Voula( a local woman who is happy to share her cooking knowledge). The first step to making a great dish is picking out the ingredients and what ingredients would be better than the home-grown fruits, vegetables and herbs found in our host’s own authentic organic farm. You have the chance to see where organic products grow and have a real taste of cultivation and farming .Having assembled everything, we are going to create a traditional Naxian dish from scratch! Enjoy!
