27th October – 2nd November

Join us this October to discover beautiful Pelion where you will discover a secret stretch of coastline with sleepy villages, lush mountains and amazing little known beaches where the swimming is heaven and you can go completely off-grid.

​An exceptional yoga retreat venue on a lush mountainside location, surrounded by nature. With phenomenal views, wonderful surroundings, locally sourced and delicious food prepared freshly every day, and a chance to recharge with the wonderful flora and fauna of this area.

​According to Greek mythology, Mount Pelion took its name from the mythical king Peleus, father of Achilles, and it was the homeland of Centaurs, the mythical creatures half-men and half-horse. Pelion is also the region where the Olympian gods had chosen for their summer holidays!

​This is the perfect wellness getaway for you if you are planning a trip to Europe in autumn.

Location

Pelion, Greece, a hidden gem tucked away from tourists where the mountains meet the sea. A perfect corner of Greece, considered as one of Europe’s leading destinations for a wellness getaway.

Our retreat takes place at Pelion Homes. Reset in nature at our intimate villas and retreat center and indulge your senses in the tasteful bohemian decor and dreamy panoramic Pelion mountain and sea views.

Stay in a beautiful villa, submerged within nature and with panoramic views overlooking the mountainside and sea. Each villa is uniquely designed taking into consideration the local Pelion architecture with a stylish and modern twist. The facilities include private pools, panoramic views, organic vegetable gardens, BBQ’s & much more.

In Pelion, every season provides a different perspective and something unique to the environment and the landscape which changes dramatically. The seasonal changes influence the activities.

October is synonymous with mushroom and chestnut season, and one of the activities will be foraging local mushrooms and learning how to cook with them.

We will take you on a journey which explores the beauty and tranquility of nature, the local culture and healthy way of living.
