Retreat No.2

Iriklia, Greece Yoga Retreat

22-29 Sept 2026

( 7 nights)

🇬🇷 4 spots left only 🇬🇷

I have been searching for a venue to hold a yoga retreat in Greece for around 3 years. Most of you know that my background is Greek and that my parents are from the island of Kos (the Dodecanese) in Greece.

In thinking of a yoga retreat in Greece, I needed to find a place unique enough to justify the long flight and time commitment from all of us. After I made the decision that the right location for me was still years after, totally randomly and without fanfare, the right island appeared. The island is Iraklia!

Iraklia is one of the islands in the Small Cyclades. The Lesser Cyclades or Small Cyclades is an island complex in the Aegean Sea, inside the archipelago of the Cyclades. It is located to the south-east of Naxos. To give you context, Santorini, Mykonos, Naxos & Paros are part of the Cyclades and are nearby.

Iraklia is a haven for those seeking peace and tranquility. Unlike some of the more commercialized Greek islands, Iraklia remains untouched by mass tourism. This ensures that visitors can truly immerse themselves in authentic Greek culture and traditions.

Iraklia is a very small island with a population of 148 people. It is not a party island or a ‘trendy’ island. It’s a place that’s made an effort to stay connected to the integrity and

community of the old. It has a few restaurants, delightful nature, and original character. It has 7 hiking trails and our host is a nature enthusiast who is very educated on the flora, fauna and wildlife of the area.

Keeping it real-The location is a simple, homey place, impeccably maintained, but not fancy or chic, and is set on a spectacular hilltop just above the village.

Amazingly, on this very small island is the most stunning yoga Shala…. And that’s how this island drew me in. Don’t forget to look at the photos at the end of this message.

Accomodation

There are 2 venues that we will be staying in.

The first venue is the main house that has the yoga Shala on the property. The 2nd venue, is a little hotel, Cosmos, 5 minutes away.

Food

Breakfast and dinner costs are included in your Retreat costs (as usual) however this retreat will be slightly different. We will be eating breakfast at the main house all together after Yoga, but then we will be having our dinner at one of the local restaurants. We will be dining at 3 different restaurants in the local village.

(note- this retreat will still be alcohol and smoke free like all the others)

What you can expect on this retreat

This retreat will be a retreat set on a beautiful and authentic Greek Island. Our host and his father are naturalists who have a wealth of knowledge about the birds, animals, flora and fauna of the island. Our host, Fanis, also knows all the hiking trials on the island. Hiking with him also mean that we have our own guided tour of the island.

Expect a boat cruise where we explore hidden beaches & other islands, known mainly to the locals. Expect hikes and long sunsets. Expect getting to know the locals as we eat at their local restaurants. Expect serenity, beauty and a connection to a simpler life ❣️

Considerations

The retreat begins when we get to the island-Iriklia on the 14th Sept 2024. There are many ways to get to this island, however, the yearly ferry schedule is released in March every year. Apparently it is the same schedule every year, but it means that we can’t make specific plans till March 2026. The plan however is to meet on the island of Naxos and all take the ferry across to Iraklia. The price of this boat trip is currently 5.50 euros.

I have 2 words for you.. be quick!!
