HOW TO GET THERE
To get to the retreat you will be travelling by almost every means of transport there is - foot, ferry, plane, taxi wooo exciting. Return transfers from Andros Port to the retreat are included (at set times to coincide with the recommended ferry departures). The drive to our venue takes approximately 75 minutes from the port. We organise complimentary shared transfers for the group...
To join the scheduled group transfers, we recommend booking one of the following ferries:
Outbound (Athens to Andros)
12 September – 07:50 or 16:00 departure
Return (Andros to Athens)
19 September – 14:45 departure, arriving in Athens before 17:00.
As a certified B Corp, we are committed to reducing our emissions in every destination we work in. Organising shared group transfers helps us travel more responsibly by minimising the number of individual journeys.
If you arrive or depart at different times, you will need to arrange your own transport. Private transfers are available locally and cost approximately €120 per person, one way.
We strongly recommend booking the suggested ferries so you can easily join the group transfers, which are the most convenient and cost-effective option.
At the end of the retreat you will need to organise your own transfer from Rafina Port back to Athens Airport.
WHERE YOU'LL BE STAYING
Our Greece retreat takes place in a beautiful, family-run coastal property where traditional stone houses blend in with the surrounding landscape. As with all of our retreats, we choose locations that feel special and authentic, seeking out hidden gems that prioritise environmental responsibility and a slower, more mindful style of travel.
The accommodation is made up of charming stone houses with a beautifully simple interior design featuring wooden beams, brushed concrete floors and natural fibres. Each house has a luxurious yet understated feel, with suuuper comfortable beds, a relaxing lounge area and an outdoor space with sun loungers and hammocks. The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxed, offering a comfortable base from which to enjoy the retreat and the surrounding nature.
We have been hosting retreats here since 2021, working closely with Matteo, his brother-in-law, his son and their small but dedicated team. Together they care deeply about preserving the natural beauty of the area and running the property in a way that respects the local environment and community.
All houses have ensuite bathrooms, air conditioning, ceiling fans and a simple kitchenette with a refrigerator and coffee machine. Fresh and beach towels, toiletries and a hairdryer are provided, along with tea and coffee in your room. Rooms are cleaned daily, and the kitchenette is refreshed with bottled water, tea, coffee and milk. Windows are fitted with mosquito nets, though we recommend bringing insect repellent.
The property reflects our commitment to choosing accommodation that balances comfort with sustainability. The team work closely with local suppliers to make sure we operate in a way that respects the landscape, minimises environmental impact and supports the local community. Staying here allows us to experience a beautiful part of Greece while keeping our footprint thoughtful and considered.
