Santorini

Santorini is one of the most famous Greek island destinations so it’s no wonder it’s a firm favourite for retreats. The volcanic island plays host to black-sand beaches, a deep blue caldera, classically beautiful towns and even unique volcanic vineyards so there is plenty to explore. Choose to visit in the shoulder seasons of spring or autumn for a more chilled vibe or opt for one of the smaller, quieter villages as your retreat base.

Evia

The mainland island of Evia has been a hotspot for thermal spas for millennia – specifically the town of Edipsos – so it’s no surprise that many still head here for healing even today. From detox retreats to spa treatments and thermal springs that offer healing from conditions such as arthritis and digestive discomfort, there is a plethora of retreat services to enjoy. Plus, it’s not a million miles from the Greek capital, Athens, so it’s a wonderful place to combine with a city break too!

Sailing Retreat

If you simply cannot decide on just one Greek hotspot, why not visit multiple on a Greek Island Sailing Retreat. These unique holidays allow you to hop between different destinations while also ensuring you have plenty of healing downtime aboard your stunning sailing vessel. Think sunrise yoga on deck, journaling as you traverse the ocean and evening strolls along the shore as you head onto land.

Yoga Retreats

Yoga retreats are, of course, one of the most popular retreat types anywhere in the world, but the Greek islands, specifically, are one of the most amazing destinations for a relaxing yoga holiday. Greece offers yoga studios overlooking the ocean, outdoor shalas so you can breathe in the fresh sea air and even classes you can enjoy with your toes in the sand, plus the nutritious, wholesome cuisine of this Mediterranean nation pairs perfectly with your daily practice.

Art Retreats

Turquoise waters, picture-perfect island villages, verdant forests and golden sands are just some of the landscapes waiting to be used as inspiration for your artistic endeavours. Whether you like to paint, draw, sculpt or sketch you can use your time in Greece to create while also meeting like-minded souls who also find healing through art.

Active Retreats

As the weather in Greece is warm and inviting for much of the year, it’s an excellent destination for an active retreat. Many of the islands provide opportunity to enjoy a range of activities including hiking, swimming, cycling, SUP, wind and kitesurfing, kayaking and yoga, so whatever outdoor adventures you want to explore there’s sure to be an island retreat for you!
