Summary

The island pearl of Karpathos lies between Crete and Rhodes: crystal-clear water, quiet bays, fantastic hiking and climbing routes right by the sea - perfect relaxation far away from mass tourism.
You can expect a varied week with daily yoga, climbing, mountain hikes and excursions to the most beautiful places on the island. We will be staying in one of the most idyllic places, at Kathy and Elias' yoga retreat.

sequence

Yoga practice
The yoga practice is aimed at both beginners and advanced practitioners.
We start the morning with meditation, pranayama and invigorating asana practice.
In the evening, we practise balancing asana, pranayama breathing exercises and meditation, depending on the day's activities.
If you wish, you can book individual lessons.

Hiking on Karpathos
The mountains of Karpathos stretch from north to south and reach their highest point in Kala Limni at 1215 meters. On well-marked old mule tracks, you hike through a diverse landscape - past gleaming white villages and small chapels perched above the deep blue sea. The scent of wild thyme and sage accompanies every step. Solitude, silence and untouched nature give Karpathos a special atmosphere and make the island an almost undiscovered paradise for hikers.

Climbing
The climbing routes offer an ideal opportunity for beginners and advanced climbers to improve their skills on the rock under professional guidance or simply to try out rock climbing, but experts can also improve their potential on difficult routes. All the climbing routes are right by the sea and we can cool off in the crystal-clear water afterwards.
