Travel should give you more capacity for life, not more things to organise.
There is something we have always believed at Retreats in Greece.
Retreats are still at the heart and soul of everything we do. They are the reason Retreats in Greece began, and we will always be passionate about helping people find the right retreat, in the right place, at the right time.
But over the years, we realised something.
Finding your perfect retreat is only one part of the journey.
There are flights to book. Ferries to organise. Accommodation to arrange. Transfers to coordinate. Perhaps you want to arrive a few days early, stay somewhere beautiful after your retreat, visit another Greek island, hire a car or simply make the whole experience as seamless as possible.
So, we decided to make it easier.
Our fully optimised Travel Services are now available, meaning we can help you plan and arrange your entire journey, not just your retreat.
Imagine finding a retreat in Greece that feels absolutely perfect for you.
Perhaps it is a Pilates retreat in Kos.
A yoga retreat in Crete.
A hiking and wellness retreat in Pelion.
A mindfulness retreat on a quiet Greek island.
Or perhaps you have found a retreat but don’t know how to get there.
Instead of spending hours searching for flights, trying to understand Greek ferry timetables, comparing accommodation and working out how you are going to get from the airport to the port – you can let us take care of it.
When you book a retreat through Retreats in Greece, we can also help arrange the travel logistics around it through our complete travel planning service.
Our travel services can include:
Our aim is simple:
One journey. One point of contact. Less stress.
Because your retreat should begin long before you arrive at the venue.
This is where things get even more exciting.
Although retreats remain our heart and soul, you don’t have to book a retreat to use our travel planning services.
Maybe you’re simply craving a break.
Maybe you want to escape the routine of everyday life.
Maybe you have always dreamed of island hopping around Greece.
Maybe you want a romantic Greek getaway with your partner.
Perhaps you’re planning a family holiday.
Or maybe you simply want someone who knows Greece to help you create an incredible trip without having to spend weeks researching it yourself.
We can help with that too.
Our travel services are designed around your journey – whether that journey includes a retreat or not.
You can tell us where you want to go, when you want to travel, who you’re travelling with and what kind of experience you’re looking for.
We’ll then help create personalised travel options around your plans.
Start planning your Greek escape →
One of the biggest advantages of planning your trip with Retreats in Greece is our local knowledge.
We don’t simply see Greece as a holiday destination.
We live here.
We know that choosing the right island can completely change your experience.
We know that getting from A to B in Greece isn’t always as straightforward as looking at a map.
We know that some places are perfect for a peaceful escape, while others are better suited to adventure, nightlife, food, hiking, beaches or cultural exploration.
And we know that sometimes the best experiences aren’t necessarily the ones that appear at the top of a generic holiday search.
That’s why our Greece travel planning service is personal.
We don’t want to simply sell you a holiday.
We want to help you create a Greek experience that feels like it was made for you.
Greece is made for exploring.
You might start your journey in Athens before travelling to an island.
You might combine a wellness retreat in Greece with a few days of beach time.
You might want to experience two or three islands during one trip.
Or perhaps you want to slow everything down and spend your entire holiday in one beautiful location.
With our tailor-made travel services, we can help you explore options for multi-centre holidays and Greek island hopping, creating an itinerary that works around your dates, interests and travel style.
And if Greece isn’t your destination?
That’s okay too.
Our travel planning service can also help with worldwide travel.
So while our love affair with Greece isn’t going anywhere, we’re excited that our travel services can now help you plan adventures beyond Greece as well.
We know how easy it is for planning a holiday to become a second job.
You start with:
“Let’s just book a flight.”
Then suddenly you’re comparing six different airports, three ferry routes, ten hotels and countless transfer options.
Before you know it, your relaxing holiday has become a spreadsheet.
We’ve all been there.
Our travel service is designed to take away that overwhelm.
Less research.
Less admin.
Less stress.
More anticipation.
1. Tell us about your trip
Complete our travel enquiry and tell us where you’d like to go, when you’d like to travel and who you’re travelling with.
2. Tell us what you need
Perhaps you need flights and accommodation. Perhaps you want a complete tailor-made itinerary. Maybe you need help with ferries, transfers or island hopping.
3. We’ll prepare personalised options
We’ll look at your requirements and create travel options around your plans.
4. You relax while we organise the details
That’s the bit we really want you to enjoy.
Less research.
Less admin.
Less stress.
More anticipation.
If you’ve been following Retreats in Greece for a while, you’ll know that we’re constantly looking at ways to make your wellbeing journey easier, more accessible and more meaningful.
Our new travel services are one part of that bigger vision.
And there is another exciting collaboration currently in the works.
We can’t share all the details just yet, but we’re incredibly excited about what is coming next.
Our new Wellness Begins Here initiative is about recognising that wellbeing doesn’t necessarily begin the moment you arrive at a retreat.
Sometimes it starts much earlier.
Sometimes you’re not ready to travel yet.
Sometimes you need support at home first.
And sometimes the right next step isn’t a retreat at all.
That’s why we’re working on something that we believe could become an exciting new part of the Retreats in Greece journey.
More details about this new collaboration will follow very soon – so watch this space.
Discover Wellness Begins Here →
While our services are growing, one thing isn’t changing.
Retreats are still at the heart and soul of Retreats in Greece.
We still believe that stepping away from everyday life can be transformative.
We still believe in the power of Greece – its islands, its landscapes, its food, its sunshine, its people and its extraordinary ability to make you slow down.
We still love matching people with retreats that can give them exactly what they need.
And if you’re ready to explore what’s currently available, you can browse our retreats in Greece and discover experiences across some of the country’s most beautiful destinations.
But now, we can do more.
We can help you find your retreat.
We can help you get there.
We can help you extend your stay.
We can help you explore more of Greece.
And, if a retreat isn’t what you’re looking for, we can simply help you plan an unforgettable Greek escape.
Because perhaps the real purpose of what we do has never been about booking a retreat.
Perhaps it’s about helping people create more capacity for life.
And sometimes, that starts with simply giving yourself permission to go.
Whether you’re dreaming of a wellness retreat in Greece, a Greek island holiday, a tailor-made Greek itinerary or an adventure somewhere else in the world, we’d love to help.
You don’t need to have everything figured out.
Tell us what you’re dreaming about. We’ll help you work out the rest.
And don’t forget to keep an eye on Wellness Begins Here.
There’s more to come.
We offer a holistic approach to wellness, blending traditional Windom with modern techniques.
