Venues We offer yoga at 4 venues, so you can find the right setting for your holiday. By using local facilities we are supporting the local economy in an area where farming is still the main occupation. Astrikas is slightly inland with a great swimming pool and large airy yoga spaces including a new outdoor space. 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 either in your room or nearby. 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.
