Excursions & Activities
Participate in excursions including hikes, thermal baths and isolated beaches. *** These are available at an additional cost ***
A hike through the enchanted forest (Path of Elves). This hike takes you through the wild, raw and beautiful terrain of Ikaria. This path leads us to the Theoktisis Monastery built in the 14 C. Make sure you order Loukoumades when you get up there!
Hike
These thermal baths are considered one of the best in the world in terms of healing qualities and radio energy. There is evidence that they have been there since the first century BC! Take a bath and feel the effects of the healing waters of Ikaria and enjoy a swim in another unique beautiful beach of Faros. We have a packed lunch but the beach side restaurant is incredible!
Thermal Baths & Faros Beach
Well this is an experience that should not be missed. A Panagiri is a traditional feast by day that celebrates the saints name days and other religious holidays. Ikaria is known for these celebrations with its traditional food, live music, non-stop dancing and plenty of delicious Ikarian wine.
Panagiri
A fun class (and sometimes humbling) where you learn local dances with a hop and a skip and a sway that will have you smiling through out the Panagiri.
Dance Lesson
With its caves and crystal blue waters, this beach is considered one of the most beautiful in the Aegean. Come see exactly why that is. Better than in the photos.
Seychelles Beach
Each year there are some children that join their parents on the retreat. This year there will be one creative fun course a day (90 min) for those between the ages of 4-10. Come join Sophia for a fun, playful and creative class filled with play, silliness and expression.
