Iyengar Yoga Retreat with Athena Pappas
Are you ready for a wonderful getaway to a gorgeous Greek island, a bit of adventure, twice daily yoga and delicious Mediterranean food? Treat yourself to a yoga retreat/vacation in Greece. Ithaca is a secluded island in the Ionian Sea with dynamic hills, coastal landscapes, hidden beaches and cozy villages. The weather will be lovely – not too hot, the sea warm and the island uncrowded.
Each day will begin with yoga, after class a brunch buffet will be served outdoors overlooking the sea, the afternoon is yours to enjoy the property or explore the area, there will be a late afternoon snack, a bit more time to relax and the day will come to a close with another yoga class followed by a delicious dinner. One afternoon will be free for an adventure or non-adventure of your choosing.
Itha108 is a magical retreat center built into the mountain side, it has gorgeous views of the surrounding landscape. Natural beauty, indoor-outdoor living, peace, relaxation and a dedication to practice are all part of Itha108’s ethos. The property and guests are lovingly cared for by the proprietor, Ingrid Gottschalk.
Cost includes: 7 nights of accommodation, meals, yoga classes, group transfers to/from Kefalonia airport.
Rates from $2530 – $3690 USD.
A non-refundable deposit of $1000 USD holds your place. The balance is due by May 23rd, 2025. Registration will open in March 2025.
