Originally known as Kat’s Favorites Tour, this journey has evolved into Eyia’s Favorites Tour, a specially curated small group luxury tour of Greece designed to showcase the best of the Cyclades Islands while blending authentic local experiences with comfort and style.
This experience reflects Eyia Retreats’ founder, Katrina Paraskevopoulos’ personal favorites and the essence of Greek island life.
Traveling in Greece is unlike any other experience. From the breathtaking landscapes of the Aegean Sea to the warmth of Greek hospitality, every moment opens your heart. On this tour, you’ll enjoy authentic Greek experiences, from private guided tours to local culinary delights, all while traveling in an intimate, small-group setting that makes every detail feel personal and effortless.
In Greece, we take pride in what we call philoxenia (φιλοξενία), translated to “friend to a stranger”, where you’ll experience being treated as a cherished friend, not just a visitor.
This tour is more than just a vacation. It’s a journey curated with care, passion, and a deep love for Greece.
Welcome to Eyia’s Favorites Tour: Cyclades Edition.
An overview of your small-group tour of Greece
At Eyia Retreats, we believe travel should be both luxurious and deeply authentic. This 9-day, 8-night small group luxury tour takes you across Athens, Milos, Paros, and Santorini, blending boutique travel experiences, authentic local moments, and Greece’s best-kept secrets.
Your journey begins in Athens, where you will settle in one of our favorite luxury boutique hotels and have a wonderful start to the trip with Greek souvlaki dinner and rooftop cocktails. You can’t go to Athens without tasting Souvlaki! Athens is where you’ll feel the heartbeat of Greece, the perfect starting point for your Cyclades island-hopping tour.
Next, we travel to Milos, one of Eyia’s favorite islands and a highlight of any luxury Greece travel experience. Here you will experience the incredible blue waters of the Aegean through our private boat day experience. Your boutique hotel features stunning panoramic sea views and private plunge pools, perfect for unwinding in style.
Next is Paros. Meet local culture in Paros with a private, authentic Greek cooking class, village walks, hikes, beach time, and some fun out in town, all curated for the best experiences in Greece! Our partners & boutique hotel stay in Paros feel like home and we know you’ll feel it too.
Finally, we will journey to Santorini, often the place most thought about when you hear ‘Greece’. You will experience luxury with Eyia’s favorite 5-star hotel brand, your own pool & caldera views, inspirational sunsets, private guided tours, and more. This is luxury Greece travel at its most unforgettable.
With boutique accommodations, private experiences, and curated local immersion, this journey is designed for travelers who want the intimacy of a small group, the elegance of luxury travel, and the joy of authentic Greek life. This tour is a unique opportunity to experience what Greece has to offer in a way that is absolutely one-of-a-kind…and a memory that will last a lifetime.
MEET YOUR HOST
Katrina Paraskevopoulos
As a Greek-American, I spent every summer in Greece with my family, as well as additional trips around Greece. I met my now husband in Greece in 2014 and it only deepened my connection to this incredible country. I officially moved to Greece in March 2023, which has allowed me to embrace my love for travel even more.
Traveling in Greece is an experience unlike no other. It’s when I feel most abundant, surrounded by so much natural beauty, incredible hospitality, peace & stillness, and vibrant aliveness. I want you to feel this way too.
My extensive background in biopsychology, coaching, personal health & wellness add a foundational piece to all of the Eyia Retreats, wellness! On this retreat, I will take you on the adventure of a lifetime to my favorite places, showing you an authentic, local experience with luxury woven in throughout.
Why luxury? Maybe you’ve seen amazing trips to Greece online and thought you would never experience it yourself, or you’ve had the belief that “it’s what other people do.” My goal for YOU to have this experience. I want to make your dreams come true and as you leave, the dream becomes part of you.

“Kat’s favorites tour was a splendid trip exploring multiple islands in Greece, each with a distinctive character. Such a treat to have Kat take us to awesome beaches, stunning sunrises/sunsets, and restaurants to experience the yummy diversity of Greek cuisine. To have everything planned without feeling you were tied down to a restrictive schedule took away any stress and allowed me to focus on enjoying the moment. Daily (light) meditation and yoga sessions were a perfect wake up to start the day. The group was small and everyone got along really well.This was a great trip to get in a lot of Greek experiences in the most relaxing way. Thanks Kat for a great retreat, would definitely love to do it again!”

More on Eyia’s Story
Eyia Retreats was born out of a love for Greece and a passion for wellness. Eyia Retreats founder, Katrina Paraskevopoulos, began traveling to Greece at a young age. With multicultural heritage born and raised in California, being ½ Greek, ¼ Japanese, ¼ Spanish, Katrina’s father would make it a priority to visit his family every summer in Greece. She continued the tradition and flew solo for the first time at 15 years old. She continued to carry that tradition, and passion for Greece throughout the years by traveling back to her family’s land to experience the beauty and lifestyle this country has to offer.
In 2014, Katrina met her husband in Greece and her passion only grew stronger for the culture and life that Greece has to offer. As their relationship grew, she explored what it would be like to blend her passion for Greek life and her background in biopsychology, fitness, and nutrition into a business. She launched her first retreat to Greece in 2019 and it was during this retreat that the name Eyia retreats was created, reflecting the Greek Goddess Hygieia, the Goddess of Health, associated with the prevention of illness and focused on how one can live a long and happy life. Katrina loved this concept because of her passion for holistic health and wellness. To simplify the spelling and pronunciation, she developed “Eyia,” (pronounced ee-yaa).
Today, we host Small Group Luxury Trips and Personal Growth & Wellness Retreats in Greece! On top of that, we support you as a dedicated Greece travel planner, ensuring your next trip will be nothing short of exceptional.
