Teachers

We take great care with the selection of our course teachers. It is important to us that they are caring and friendly in their approach as they are so important to the focus of your holiday. Many have been with us for several years and are very experienced at delivering a wonderful time to suit all participants.

All one week summer holiday courses are £440 at Astrikas and £480 at other venues unless stated otherwise

Venues

We offer Discovery Holidays - walking and our Inner Discovery holidays at 4 venues, so you can find the right setting for your holiday. Astrikas is slightly inland with optional transport to the beach, a great swimming pool and large airy workshop spaces. We offer full board here. If you do take this option you can give your wallet a total rest for the week. By using local facilities we are supporting the local economy in an area where farming is still the main occupation. Peli Hotel in Kastelli is a friendly family run hotel close to the beach. Mithimna Beach is a rural beach location where accommodation and function space overlook the quiet bay. The Olive Mill is in an idyllic rural setting for small courses needing that intimate peaceful feel, we combine this with Mithimna Beach for the best of beach and retreat.

Accommodation

At all venues the rooms are en suite, with balconies, and gardens. You can make your own hot drinks, either with communal or private facilities and all have fridges. We have carefully chosen accommodation over a period of years for their friendliness and suitability for holidays so at any venue the level of retreat feeling can be your choice.

food and special dietsFood and Special Diets

We include breakfast each day and lunch after each morning session - so you can retain an atmosphere conducive to further discussion. There's also one evening meal in the week and we help you choose from the excellent tavernas in the area for other meals.

At Astrikas Retreats you can upgrade to full board after the first night 'taste it and see' with Eleftheria's fine cooking, using vegetables grown in the field next door.

All food is vegetarian, either home made or local specialities. Juliet is often asked for recipes!
Special diets are provided for at the same standard of quality and variety. If you want, we'll give you Greek words to help you make choices in tavernas.

We welcome friends and family wanting to holiday with you. You may wish to stay at the venue but at accommodation of your choice maybe a family room. We can help you make a suitable choice.
