Kardamyli is a historic coastal village of Messinian Mani,  45’ drive from Kalamata Airport and a 3h drive from Athens. The endless olive groves, the amazing beaches, the tidy stone houses with their verdant gardens, as well as the village’s picturesque small port, are only a few of the area’s beauties. For the needs of our retreat, we have privatized a beautiful boutique hotel, of 25 guest rooms and suites.

​

Upon arrival we experience a “test” hike where we check your hiking capacity and provide useful tips for the days to follow. All hikes are different and there is no specific pace to follow. The return to the hotel is by minivans. Approximate daily hiking time is 3.5h-5h. There are at least three mountain guides along the route, following you discretely, ready to help if needed. 

​

We cannot hike if we suffer from blisters or swollen feet. Every morning, we take care of them making sure you are good to go for hours in the wilderness. 

​

​

Every guest is entitled to one-hour massage every day. Restorative, Deep tissue and Ayuverdic sessions will be offered according to your mood of the day. 

​

There are two daily yoga sessions. Each serving a different purpose: the morning one to help you start smoothly the day and the evening one to ease your body and mind from a challenging day. 

​

Every day, between 15:00-18:00, we hold a variety of fitness sessions, lasting 20’ to 50’, such as stretching, pilates, high and low impact training, empowerment programs and more. These will help your body recover from the challenging hikes and gain back its energy and flexibility. 

We have our own gourmet chef, Emilios, who will be preparing locally inspired recipes using the freshest of ingredients packed with nutritional value. The emphasis is on vegetarian/ vegan menus. All fruits and vegetables are sourced from small local organic producers. 

The region of the Peloponnese is a very attractive destination, combining mountains, sea, some of the most important Greek archaeological sites and Byzantine monuments. We are happy to assist on your pre or post stay vacation in the Peloponnese or Greece, in general.
