Christopher and I are so excited to return this summer to Logothetis Organic Farm on Zakynthos, Greece. We hosted our first retreat here last year and the combination of our incredible hosts, the beautiful property, and the easygoing island lifestyle left us wanting to come back every year. The property is an active olive oil farm, acres of the most beautiful (and old!) trees with a center gathering spot where we do yoga and take our meals. Across the property the sweetest little cottages are scattered, each with outdoor showers, country charm interiors, and bicycles for roaming around. All included meals will be prepared by a local chef and the family that owns and runs the farm– expect traditional Greek fare— all the classics you know done better!!! We’ll plan for two dinners out on the island so we can explore some local spots! On the farm we can horseback ride, try a cooking class, tour the land and the olive oil making process, and of course, shop all the incredible olive oil products they make there. We’re a quick drive to many of the incredible beaches of Zakynthos, and we’ll have plenty of time to explore the island throughout the week to visit our favorite spots. We have one day where we’ll go out on a few boats as a group to explore Zakynthos’ shore line—truly a highlight for the week, seeing the bluest waters, turtles swimming in the ocean, absolutely stunning cliff facades, and super special swim spots!
Our schedule will be easy. Our days will start with coffee/tea and a luxurious 2 hour practice. We’ll then move to a delicious veranda brunch followed by open days to explore, lounge, rest, etc. We’ll have a 1.5 hour relaxing early evening practice, and then an easy dinner on the property together as a group. We will have a tour of the farm arranged by the group, and a boat day arranged (we generally skip yoga in the afternoon that day so we can take our time getting back to the farm). We’ll start the retreat with an evening yoga class followed by dinner, and we’ll finish with an early morning practice and light brunch before check out.
The Island / Getting There
Zakynthos is one of the larger Greek isles in the Ionian Sea. The island is outstandingly gorgeous and while some of the town areas are definitely heavy with tourists, much of the land is still untouched and the range of topography will leave you in awe— think a mix of forrest, olive groves, mountains, and beautiful coastal beaches (both sandy and rock options). There are a few different ways to get there, but we would recommend a short flight from Athens, Greece or flying from another European city. The other option would be driving or taking a bus from Athens and then a ferry to Zakynthos. Not totally crazy, but a little longer travel time.
