Magic of Paros trip - June 12 - 17 2023
As the days become longer and our thoughts turn to summer sunshine and azure blue seas, we invite you to join us on this 5 night “Magic of Paros” Retreat @ Milos House, located near the picturesque fishing village of Alyki on the south coast of Paros, with breathtaking views of surrounding islands and 360º views of Paros and Antiparos, as well as some of the best sunsets to be seen from the island.
You might wish to start your trip with an overnight stay in Athens or even Mykonos, both being on the main air and ferry routes to Paros. The retreat starts as you arrive at Milos House on June 12th. You will be free to spend your time how you choose, chilling out in one of the hammocks, heading to one of the beautiful nearby beaches, joining a Chill out breath work, somatic and restorative yoga session with Karina, a Deep Listening session with Pete, Campfire conversation and a rooftop sunset DJ party. There will also be optional add on outings to nearby Zoumis Farm, the beautiful island of AntiParos and Despotiko, one of the finest uninhabited islands in the Aegean. We plan to eat out at typical Greek tavernas and also cook some meals together at the house; this will be very flexible so you can choose! If any of you would like to offer a class or treatment (eg photography, reiki) you are most welcome!
Milos House is bathed in sunlight most days and set in a beautiful west facing garden, with eating and sitting areas to take advantage of the views and sunsets, including terraces, as well as hammocks and an additional breakfast area with spectacular views inland over Kamari village and the south coast. You have the choice of a spacious King room (sleeping 2) or a twin room, with shared bathrooms on both floors. There is also the option of booking your own accommodation nearby in Alyki, just a 10 min drive away, so you can join in with any of the activities offered at the house as well as the optional tours.
