Yoga, Gastronomy, and Wellness Retreat

Date: June 16 – 18, 2023

Location: Olympos Mountain Lodge

We’ve curated a very special and unique retreat for those who love yoga and self-care, wish to relax and rejuvenate, while enjoying good food, wine, and the simplicity of life. This journey will nourish our bodies, minds, and souls.

• We’ll practice daily yoga to calm our minds while strengthening, stretching, releasing, and healing our bodies.
• We’ll savor local, seasonal, and creatively prepared meals, experiencing the region’s cuisine and wines.
• We’ll nourish our souls by exploring a new place, taking time for ourselves, reading, sharing, or simply living.

Together with Olympos Mountain Lodge, we aim to share the enchanting wonders of its extraordinary natural surroundings, accompanied by refined tastes and a lifestyle centered on passion for living.
