Luxury Villa Amfiario, Kalamos by Athens, Greece

A holistic experience in a historical destination

This June join me for a very special yoga retreat to explore the ancient Athens and its scenic surroundings.
Our home will be the luxurious Villa Amfiario in the village of Kalamos on the Athenian coast where our daily escapades will take off. The villa and its beautiful garden will be the place for recharging yoga and meditation sessions.
Next to yoga, self-care and holistic practice expect fascinating trips around the Attika region and to Athens where you will explore the vibrant capital city with its history of thousands of years.
All you need to do is take a deep exhalation and we will take care of everything. From transportation to museum fees — everything is included in this Ancient Athens experience.

The villa and its abundance

Villa Amfiario is a family-run pension and you couldn't ask for a friendlier, lovelier and more accommodating hosts ever.
This villa is located around 50km north-east of Athens, in a quiet countryside set between the mountains and the Aegean Sea.
Our hosts will take care of everything we need, from complimentary airport shuttle to a private chauffeur and a guide for our various excursions and sight-seeing.

Nourish Yourself.

Yoga, Sea and Escapades

There will be time for relaxing in the beautiful surroundings of the villa, time for dipping in the turquoise sea, soaking up the sunshine at beautiful beaches. Expect wine tasting, and complimentary facial treatment.
You will learn about the fascinating myths and ancient history in the Acropolis of Athens, as well as the ancient site of Amphiareion which dates to 400BC.
We will take a trip to the island of Evoia and Chalkida town with its famous ‘crazy waters’. We’ll visit various beaches. Optional Greek cooking or Greek dance lessons are available.
You will get the chance to relax, reconnect with yourself, and rejuvenate your soul and body.
Delicious vegetarian organic food prepared by Eleni - the mama of the villa herself - will be served twice a day.
You will practice yoga and mediation in the villa, in its garden and on the grounds of the nearby ancient sanctuary of Amphiareion. The swimming pool is all for our pleasure.

The villa has the most
stunning views
of mountains,
sea, gardens
and loads of flowers.
This is going to be a
week
to remember.

Ways to Nourish Yourself:

Time for yourself

The villa is big enough to offer private space for everyone who needs some time alone: relaxing on the sofas of the lounge room, watching the sea through palm trees on the terrace or reading a book in the garden; this are just a few option for your ‘me’ time.
Excursions & sightseeing

During the retreat we will take a few excursions. We will take a trip to the island of Evoia and Chalkida town with its famous ‘crazy waters’, and to various beaches. You will also explore the vibrant city of Athens.
High on yoga

We will practice twice a day, a lighter morning session to wake up and an evening class to sweat and focus. Expect our dynamic vinyasa style that HIGH ON YOGA is known for. Each class is accompanied by short meditation and mantra practice to give you a sure ‘yoga high’.
Greek food fest

Our food is prepared daily in-house with love. Delicious vegetarian and vegan, organic food prepared by Eleni - the mama of the villa herself - will be served twice a day and additionally, on your demand.
