About this Olive Oil Mini Retreat in Greece’s Peloponnese

We’re delighted to partner with Those Greek Girls for this intimate countryside experience, bringing together their passion for authentic Greek culture and community with Eyia Retreats’ mindful approach to travel and wellbeing. Together, we’ve curated a day that invites guests to slow down, connect with nature, and experience one of Greece’s most cherished traditions through the lens of local culture, meaningful conversation, and shared moments around the table.

We begin with a scenic group transfer from Athens, heading into the peaceful countryside of the Peloponnese. Upon arrival, you are welcomed into a serene olive grove, where the day unfolds at a slow, intentional pace.

The experience opens with a grounding guided meditation led by Kat, founder of Eyia Retreats, allowing guests to fully arrive in the moment and connect with the natural surroundings.

From there, we explore the grove with a gentle guides walk and dive into an interactive olive oil tasting workshop, learning about the full lifecycle of olive oil, from tree to table, while sampling local varieties paired with food.

The day culminates in a slow, al fresco lunch under the olive trees, featuring fresh, seasonal products sourced from the region, shared in a warm and vibrant community setting.

Eyia Retreats made my entire Greece trip effortless, but their support really proved how amazing they are. I accidentally left my passports on Paros while traveling to Santorini, and what could have been a complete disaster turned into a non‑issue thanks to their team. As soon as I reached out, they immediately jumped into action. They coordinated someone on Paros to pick up the passports and hand‑deliver them straight to my hotel in Santorini. If it weren’t for them, I would’ve lost an entire day going back to retrieve them. Their responsiveness, professionalism, and genuine care are unmatched. Eyia Retreats doesn’t just plan trips — they truly take care of you. Highly recommend them to anyone traveling to Greece.

Our experience with Eyia’s Retreats was truly exceptional from start to finish. One of the things we appreciated most was the planning process. Having a consultation before the trip and another meeting right before departure ensured that every question was answered and that we felt completely prepared. We were actually able to relax on vacation. Katrina created a thoughtful itinerary that perfectly balanced incredible experiences with plenty of time to rest, recharge, and enjoy the stunning accommodations. Every detail was handled seamlessly. We always felt incredibly well cared for. Our drivers were consistently punctual, professional, and transported us in comfortable, beautiful vehicles. We felt safe throughout the entire trip, and it was reassuring to know that Katrina and her team were checking in regularly to make sure everything was going perfectly. What really set Eyia’s Retreats apart was the attention to the cultural experience. Katrina helped us immerse ourselves in Greece by recommending local foods to try, sharing a Greek music playlist for the trip, and pointing us toward authentic places to shop for souvenirs. If any question or issue arose, she addressed it immediately. These thoughtful touches made the experience feel much more meaningful and personal. We also loved the unique theme Katrina created for each island. It helped us focus on what made each destination special and ensured we got the most out of every stop along the way. One of the highlights of our trip was the welcome dinner with Katrina. It felt less like meeting a travel planner and more like catching up with a longtime friend. As fellow Americans, it was especially interesting to hear what made her fall in love with Greece and what inspired her to share it with others. Eyia’s Retreats delivered a level of service, personalization, and peace of mind that exceeded our expectations. We returned home with incredible memories and without any of the stress that often comes with planning international travel. We wholeheartedly recommend Eyia’s Retreats to anyone considering a trip to Greece; you will be in the best hands possible.

Kat was an amazing guide for our vacation! She was helping with suggestions and ideas for activities and restaurants. She answered all questions ina timely manner and I never felt left in the dark. Felt like I was by her side the whole planning. I will most definitely ask her to help with all future trips and vacation!

This VIP retreat was something truly special and unlike anything else. After attending my first retreat last year, I can honestly say it’s one of the best investments I’ve ever made in myself. Having now experienced both a group and a private retreat, I’ve realized how deeply rewarding the one-on-one experience can be — not just personally, but professionally too. It creates a level of accountability for the person you’re becoming. What once felt unfamiliar has now become a natural part of my growth and journey. This retreat has transformed me once again. While last year was centered around reflection, this year is about manifestation — putting everything I’ve learned and practiced into action to bring my desires to life. Kat is an amazing individual and has truly changed my life for the better. As a mentor, and as a human being. I am forever grateful that our paths crossed at a moment in my life when I did not know I needed it. 🤍

We worked with Kat to plan our honeymoon, and it was truly the best trip of our lives! From the very beginning, she took the time to understand exactly what kind of experience we wanted and made the planning process so smooth and enjoyable. Kat provided us with a budget tracker to stay organized and an easy-to-use app with our full itinerary, hotel details, and activity schedules — everything we needed right at our fingertips. She also presented multiple hotel and activity options tailored to our preferences, helping us create the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. Throughout our two-week trip in Italy, Kat was incredibly responsive and professional. Any time we needed to make a change or had a question, she handled it immediately with kindness and efficiency. Her attention to detail went above and beyond — we were even greeted with a sweet, thoughtful gift from her at several of our hotels, which made everything feel that much more special. We can’t recommend Kat and her company enough. If you’re looking for a travel agent who is organized, responsive, and genuinely cares about making your trip unforgettable, she’s the one to trust!
