Summary

Yoga with a view of the Libyan Sea, hiking through the wild mountains of Crete and along the impressive coastline, into traditional mountain villages and deep gorges.

Under the experienced guidance of Susanne and Christian, we experience the magic and power of this island together.
Curious, we discover and experience the diversity and beauty of South Crete on foot. We relax with yoga and leave our everyday lives at home. Regular practice gives us strength and joy. An eventful journey of discovery that moves and inspires us both internally and externally.

sequence

Within a week, there are 6-8 hours of yoga, 2-3 half-day and 2-3 full-day hikes as well as a day off for swimming, sunbathing, strolling or just relaxing.
Depending on the daily program, we start the day with 60-90 minutes of yoga or end it with a yoga session. We are also happy to incorporate a shorter yoga session in nature. It is a flowy hatha yoga for beginners and advanced practitioners - in our beautiful yoga room or outside with a view of the sea.
The half-day hikes are approx. 2-3 hours long, the full-day hikes 4-6 hours with a view of the vastness of the sea or the pristine mountain world, the time flies by.
Travel times range from 10 minutes to 1.5 hours, so you can already see a lot of the beauty and diversity of the island (transfers included).
We will be happy to send you a weekly plan.
