The love and friendship we’ve found through traveling Greece is something we so deeply cherish. We at Eyia retreats want you to feel this too. Join in exploring Greece and some of our favorite people, places and experiences.
Welcome to Kat’s Favorites Tour Recap! Touch ancient history in Athens. Dive into the blue waters in Milos. Meet Greek culture in Paros. Experience Luxury in Santorini.
This small group luxury experience was 8 nights, 9 days exploring Athens and three islands: Milos, Paros, and Santorini. It was the perfect combination of best-of-Greece meets local experience. Luxury to us is the people, the service, the small touches, and the feeling it leaves us. Our 10 retreaters loved the amazing feeling of a done-for-you trip and traveling like a local without the headache of planning or researching a thing. The experiences and accommodations included local partners that we’ve have worked with many times before, so you our retreaters got the best of the best.
The journey began in Athens, with a wonderful start to the trip with a walk around the city, changing of the guards, rooftop cocktails, and a Greek souvlaki dinner. You can’t go to Athens without tasting Souvlaki! We stayed at Xenodocheio Milos, a luxury 5* boutique hotel located a few blocks away from Syntagma Square. This hotel gives Greek essence with contemporary & luxury design. We intentionally selected the accommodation to match our retreat vision and to give our retreaters a relaxing and Greek experience as we begin our trip.
The journey continued to Milos, one of our favorite islands, where we experienced the incredible blue waters of the Aegean through our private boat day experience. We stayed at Milos Breeze Boutique Hotel, a luxury 4* boutique hotel with panoramic sea views and a private plunge pool in each room.We have been hosting retreats here for 5 years, so it feels like coming home!
Next we traveled to Paros. We experienced local culture in Paros with a private authentic Greek cooking class, village walks, hikes, beach time, and some fun shopping & exploring in town! We stayed at Margaritas Studios, a 3* boutique hotel a 5 minute walk from the sea, owned by our dear friend, Stella and her family. The hospitality, love and community our retreaters experienced in Paros is unlike no other. That is the real Greek luxury. Our partners & boutique hotel stay in Paros feel like home and our retreaters felt this too.
Finally we journeyed to Santorini, often the place most thought about when you hear ‘Greece’. Our retreaters experienced luxury with our favorite 5* hotel brand, Andronis Concept Resort. They were treated VIP and had rooms with the caldera view—the view you want in Santorini—their own pool and the best amenities. We experienced breathtaking caldera views, inspirational sunsets, private guided tours, and more.
