Anticipate a journey with…
Our private Greek village
Pelion is a majestic mountain rising up on a hook-like peninsula between the Pagasetic Gulf and the Aegean Sea north of Athens. Clinging to the edges of the dramatic slopes that plunge into the sea are indigenous forests and quaint Greek villages, bustling with life and ancient tradition. Our retreat venue is a unique collection of refurbished historic Greek homes that form a retreat village and connect to a private restaurant, gardens, and yoga shala.
A secluded setting
Pelion is nestled on the eastern edge of the Greek mainland and remains a hidden gem. There is none of the destructive tourism that is unfortunately so common on many of the Greek islands. The villages are authentically inhabited by locals and the stunning, sparkling beaches remain quiet, clean and calm. Anticipate all the charm of Greek island life, without the crowds.
Uplifting yoga
Thrive on daily soulful yoga sessions that are tailored to the group’s needs and experience level. From the spacious and well-equipped shala with views over the mountain and sea, we’ll greet each morning in mindful movement and meditation. Alternatively, we can arrange for your yoga session to be in the evenings to wind down and cultivate mellow vibes for deep, restful sleep.
Indigenous forrest immersion
The mountains on the peninsula are thickly forested with deciduous and perennial forests of beech, oak, maple and chestnut trees. There are also olive, apple, pear and plane tree groves found near natural springs and sources of water. Set out on a hike in these beautiful mountains leading to a quaint mountain village for a strong Greek coffee and pastry to refuel us before taking a winding contour path back (all fitness levels can be accommodated with alternative routes).
Expert planning and support
Every detail of your stay will be carefully curated and organised, so you can sit back, take it all in and access the rejuvenation and peace of mind you deserve. Through a combination of InRetreat planning and support, as well as the attention of on-site staff at Pelion, all aspects of your journey will be taken care of. We pride ourselves in delivering elevated, exceptional experiences brought together with expert local knowledge and a passion for service. As this is a private retreat location, you are also welcome to ask for specific customisations.
Sustainable, local cuisine
Our retreat venue has organic gardens that produce excellent quality fruits and vegetables most of the year. The region is also renowned for excellent produce, including olive oil, wine, dairy products, charcuterie, and seafood. Over the week together we will enjoy truly farm-to-table regional and seasonal cuisine prepared by a private chef. All meals at the retreat venue will be customised to your preferences. If you would like, we can arrange for you to visit a local restaurant for a fun Greek evening!
