We are opening up Milos House on the south west of Paros island for the late autumn season, from Tuesday October 29th through to Sunday December 1st. It's a great time to be on the island, the crowds have gone and the clocks go back at the end of October, but the temperate climate can often provide warm, sunny days of between 15 and 20 degrees. The Aegean is still reasonably warm at that time of year. It's also light until around 6pm.
There are three bedrooms, two doubles and twin and we invite you to come and live in residence for anything between a week and a month.
It’s not really a retreat as such, no fixed timetable, just take each day and each week as it comes depending on who comes and how they would like to spend their time.
Last November we offered a weekly event and social at the house, a session which might involve a total immersion ambient music set, music nights, family constellations, a Beacon lighting ceremony around the fire circle in the front garden.
An afternoon excursion to Antiparos may be possible...including one of my favourite local beaches
We already have a Family Constellations all-day event confirmed for Saturday November 2nd with Poppy Altmann. Read more here
If there is interest we are hoping to offer some input into what may evolve into a few DIUY events under the umbrella of Paros 'Home Cooking' Winter Festival from November 2.
I am hoping to be around too for most of the month and I would be happy to lead some creative sessions, especially around writing and some excursions. We are also blessed to have a great yoga teacher in the island who does morning sessions three times a week.
Price-wise, I generally work on a ‘pay what you feel’ policy out of season. As a rough guide cheapest local rooms would probably be around €30-40 a night. Car or scooter hire is essential as 1) the house is up on a steepish hill (hence the views) and can be obtained for about €25 a day and b) I dont want to become the default taxi driver!
Winds in the Cyclades can cause some boats to be cancelled in any season, so please be aware that this could potentially impact on getting off the island to connect with a flight.
I hope you can come. Let me know your dates asap as we have a fair amount of interest.
Keep it lit!
