7 nights accommodation

2 x 90-minute yoga sessions per day (morning and evening) - The morning session is energetic to get you charged to start the day and the evening one is relaxing practicing yin yoga, restorative, nidra , etc…

20-minute welcome massage - On Sunday (or Monday) after the morning session you will be offered a back massage to help you relax after your flight and travel.

Daily breakfast - Every morning, after yoga, a Greek buffet will wait for you to enjoy. Fresh bread, marmalade, honey, eggs, fruits, Greek yogurt, cereals, nuts, cheeses, tomatoes, etc… and of course the amazing smoothies made by Hara.

5 Greek vegetarian dinners - Our dinners are vegetarian based on Mediterranean cuisine. We adapt to any food allergies you might have. Just let us know beforehand to be ready to welcome you as you deserve.

1 light lunch (on the tour day) - On that day we offer a light lunch before we leave for our tour. Sometimes we take it with us and have a little picnic at the beach. At
the end of our tour, we go to a restaurant to have dinner and enjoy the beautiful sunset!

1 tour to another part of the island - On Tuesday around 15.00/16.00 a minibus will come to pick us up and take us to explore another part of the island. Depending on the season and the weather we will either go to the peninsula of Cape Drastis or a private beach in Kerasia village or to the ghost town of Old Perithia up the mountain.

Free bicycles to use - We have bicycles, free of charge, for all of our guests.

Yoga equipment - Mats, bolsters, belts, blocks, and bricks to help you adjust your practice poses.

Transfer from the airport to the villa (costs 61 euros by taxi). We will try to group people together where is possible so you can share the cost!)
Or you can take the local bus from The main Bus Station in Corfu Town.

The other lunches during the week.

There are a few typical restaurants near our villa in Almyros beach and if you walk 15/20 min by the beach, you will reach Acharavi village, where you will find plenty of tavernas and restaurants to enjoy your lunch!

We decided not to include the lunches in our packages, since the breakfast/brunch usually finishes around 11.30. That way you will have the whole day free until your evening yoga session
and you can discover this amazing place and meet its amazing people! But if you prefer to stay in, the villa will be your home for the week, so you will be able to cook and enjoy your lunch at the premises.

Also, the dinners are big enough so there is always food left for the day after!

Food

With the perfect mix of protein, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, Greek food is renowned for its fantastic flavor and plentiful health benefits. The Greek diet also traditionally contains a balance of healthy fats and oils, which can reduce the risk of developing heart conditions and diseases such as cancer. Combined with regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle, the Greek diet is found to both boost weight loss and maintain a healthy weight. We will prepare beautifully healthy meals in the traditional Greek cuisine. Our food will encourage you to discover new tastes as well as introduce you to healthy Greek style meals, which you can prepare once you return home. Let us know your allergies before your arrival and we will adapt the menu accordingly.

Our self-service breakfast and our dinners consist of predominantly vegetarian dishes, which include ingredients foraged from our or other Greek producers. The produce we prepare and serve is fair trade and our local chefs are experienced in cooking healthy, traditional dishes, which offer you the true taste of Greece.

Accommodation

Offering a beautiful yet tranquil alternative to the bustling, cosmopolitan beach of Acharavi, Almyros is a peaceful paradise escape, perfect for those looking to take a relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

While still offering tourist facilities such as sunbeds and parasols, this is a Greek yoga retreat which allows guests to unwind in its tranquil environment. We welcome couples, solo travelers and friends who’d like to combine their love of yoga with a sunshine holiday.

Located within the stunning Greek island of Corfu, a break here allows you to reconnect your senses and find space within your surroundings.

Our experienced and inspiring yoga teachers will challenge your mind and body, encouraging you to enhance your overall wellbeing through daily practice of yoga techniques.

In addition to our yoga retreat, a holiday here will also offer warm sunshine, a traditional Corfiot sea facing villa, picturesque beaches and delicious Greek food.

Our yoga holidays have no rules or regulations. We encourage our guests to take the time to enjoy their well-earned break, as well as practice yoga in twice daily sessions (morning and evening). Additional activities are also made available to guests, allowing you to shape your yoga retreat into the holiday of a lifetime.

Our beautiful Corfiot villa is located just a stone’s throw away from Almyros beach and offers breath-taking views of the Albanian coast. Substantial gardens located at the front and rear of the villa are blooming with trees and tropical flowers, creating a beautiful environment for our guests to relax and unwind.

Within the villa we offer 5 size-able bedrooms, each with a picturesque balcony offering panoramic mountain or sea views, as well as a large attic room. We can welcome a maximum of 12 guests per week to the retreat, ensuring an intimate experience for all guests.

The villa has been decorated in a traditional Greek Ionian theme, with comfortable beds designed to give you restful sleep throughout your stay. All of our beds are draped in 100% cotton, while luxury bath towels and toiletries are provided for all guests. Some bedrooms benefit from en-suite bathrooms, while others share an adjacent bathroom with the neighboring room.

"Throughout our stay, we were well looked after. Alice and her team ensured that we had everything we needed and kept things relaxed by offering a flexible service, which was well-tailored to our individual needs. The location of the villa couldn't be better, right beside the beach with amazing views of the sunset each evening. There was plenty to do locally and the team was always available to provide information and local insight on the best places to eat, drink, and play. Thank you for an amazing stay."

- Evelyn Hopkins

"As a teacher visiting for a week, I greatly enjoyed working with Hara and Alice. They took care of everything, including food, lodging, and activities, so my only concern was teaching. With the consent of the group, I could teach wherever, whenever, and whatever I wanted, which is any teacher's dream. No other worries entered my head - the experience extends to the teachers too. Thanks so much for the unforgettable week!"

- Jacqueline Dunn
