What is it about Greece?

We thought long and hard about the perfect setting for our wellbeing retreat; it was important to find somewhere accessible and beautiful. A place with a rich history, culture, inspiring landscapes, kind and hospitable people … an ideal space for our community to relax and rejuvenate. A mediterranean haven, Greece is the perfect fit.

1. It is a country with a past. From ancient greek temples to Byzatine monasteries and Neoclassical mansions, the country and islands are littered with ancient sites from various historical periods. Greek mythology continues to teach us valuable lessons in love, loyalty and life; creating beauty and magic in the modern world.
2. Incredible hospitality. Attend any social gathering, visit a family run restaurant, spend any time with locals and you will experience the friendly, welcoming spirit the Greeks are famous for. It is one of the reasons so many people return to the country. Over the years we have travelled to many countries and there is no warmer welcome than a Greek one.
3. Breathtaking landscape. Ancient olive groves, azure waters, a rainbow of mediterranean harvest, bright sunlight, mountains and rolling hills blanketed by cypress trees. What’s not to love?! With each new island you explore you will discover a new, irresistible element of Greece’s authentic style. It will take years to explore them all but only a moment to fall in love.
4. Walking in golden sunshine. Neither tropical nor arctic. Greece boasts of perfect climatic conditions year round, with approximately 300 days of sunshine to soothe the soul and satiate your vitamin D needs.
5. Serving up soul-food. Worldwide, nutritionists are coming to recognise the mediterranean diet as one of the best; rich in protein and low in saturated fat, with an abundance of seasonal fruit, vegetables, nuts and olive oil. Irresistible flavours are carefully combined to create nourishing dishes and even in the smallest local tavernas, you will find family favourites are freshly prepared, perfectly seasoned and completely delicious.
6. Peace of mind. Greece remains among the safest countries of the world, with an incredibly low crime rate – especially on the islands. We want visitors to wander freely, meet, greet and chat with locals and feel no fear, day or night. This will be a carefree environment, where you can forget caution and enter into new, free ways of thinking.
