Description

Come join us for a memorable, transformational adventure to Greece. We create a perfect balance of historical, cultural sightseeing with the serenity of rooftop yoga and meditation overlooking the Acropolis and  a peace-filled island life. Your trip to Greece will be filled with healthy food and awesome, breathtaking sights.

Athens is full of history and a mix of Ancient Greece and modern civilization.   We will explore the museums, the Plaka, travel with our questions to Delphi to hear the oracles and watch the sunset at the Temple of Poseidon in Sounion with our own private tour guide.

Once we arrive on the Greek island of Kythera you can relax into the serenity and unspoiled island life.  We will offer daily yoga and meditation on the beach, guided hikes, historical tours and lots of free time to explore this amazing island, connect with nature, relax at the tavernas and feast on amazing homemade Greek delicacies.

We will visit holy monasteries and hear of the miracles of the powerful Black Madonna.   We will visit the birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite and the most picturesque Kapsali Bay as well as Greek bakeries, the lush waterfall of Milopotomos, small villages and the Castle in Hora.

Fields of Queen Anne’s lace, wild sage and flowering purple thyme will surround you as we explore the shores, watch the wild goats cross the roads and wander around this mythical island full of surprises.  Kythera is a hidden gem – come drink of its raw natural beauty. 

Dates: Arrive at Athens Airport Friday, May 22, 2009 and fly out Sunday, May 31, 2009

Costs:  Approximately $2,500 (excluding international airfare but including airfare from Athens to Kythera)
