A retreat venue that moves with you.
Over the week your group sails between three or four Greek islands, with the route shaped around your teaching and how you want your community to experience the retreat.
SAIL WHERE THE WIND BLOWS
The programme you plan with us remains the same. What can change is where each part of it happens.
Active groups can take on longer sailing days and more adventurous crossings. If your community prefers a slower pace, we plan shorter sails and more time ashore.
The closest Cycladic island to Athens, with hills of oak and stone terraces. From a quiet bay, a short walk leads up to the ruins of ancient Karthea, a beautiful place to practise as the sun goes down.
A traditional island with stone villages, windmills and small churches. Its bays are calm and clear, and the walk from Kanala to Chora shows the island at an easy pace.

SERIFOS
A rugged Cycladic island of dramatic hills, whitewashed villages and hidden coves. From Livadi, wind your way up to Chora’s narrow lanes and castle views, a striking place to pause, reconnect and practise above the deep blue Aegean.

KIMOLOS
A small Cycladic island of volcanic landscapes, whitewashed lanes and turquoise coves. From Chorio, wander through quiet alleys before reaching Prassa’s pale shores, a beautiful place to slow down, breathe deeply and practise beside the glowing Aegean sea.

poros
Pine-covered hills, sheltered coves and sandy beaches give Poros its relaxed island rhythm. Across a narrow channel from the mainland, it pairs quiet days by the sea with lively evenings along the waterfront.

37.3245° N, 23.4400° E
hydra
Car-free lanes, rugged hills and clear-water coves give Hydra its unhurried rhythm. Coastal paths lead to quiet swimming spots, while the harbour brings together stone mansions, art galleries and waterfront tavernas.
37.2500° N, 23.1333° E
spetses
Pine forests, secluded coves and grand captains’ mansions give Spetses its distinctive charm. Cycle along the coast, swim in clear waters and spend the evening among the waterfront restaurants and lively bars of the Old Harbour.
extend your retreat
Your retreat can continue beyond the week at sea.
As part of Get Lost Travel & Events Designers, our mother company, we can arrange nights in Athens before or after the sail or extend your retreat to other destinations in Greece, including our mainland retreats. The same team plans everything, so your group moves smoothly from one stage of the journey to the next with nothing extra to organise.
