“The organisation of this retreat was excellent. From the planned transfer pick-up in Thessaloniki all the way back to Thessaloniki again. I also appreciated having a timetable in advance to mentally prepare myself for what's coming. The hotel was lovely and I think I don't need to say anymore about the food. Really delicious. The group was lovely and super harmonious. We all got along great and had an amazing time - commiserating after a tough class, while cheering each other on after a strenous hike or a successful asana. Dinner time was always enjoyable with lively chatter and lots of laughter.​
​
Aris is a really good guide. It was clear that he knew the area very well. All hiking trips were well planned and also within our capabilities (even if the first day was super exhausting). I really appreciated his talks on the area as it provided more information on what we were seeing and experierencing. I never felt lost or in panic but trusted him completely. The area itself was breathtaking with all the lush green scenery and the remote stone villages and monasteries dotted throughout the mountains
All in all, I am glad I did the retreat and
would wholeheartedly do it all over again”
