Flight Options:
If you’re thinking about booking, feel free to reach out to us—we’re here to help you find the best way to get here. In most cases, flying into Athens first is the easiest and most convenient option. We’re happy to offer guidance on hotel accommodations, share tips for sightseeing, and even connect you with other travellers who will be joining the retreat. You won’t be making the journey alone—we’ll support you every step of the way.
Athens out of season is a hidden gem—peaceful, soulful, and full of charm. The air is scented with orange blossoms and roasted coffee, the streets are calmer, and the city’s true character shines through. You’ll find beautiful bars tucked into historic corners, incredible food around every turn, and a laid-back pace that invites you to breathe, wander, and enjoy. It's the perfect place to ease into your journey before the retreat—joyful, welcoming, and unforgettable.
If you're joining us for the mountain or monastery retreat, we’ll make things even easier—we’ll pick you up directly from the airport. Just let us know your travel plans, and we’ll take care of the rest. You're in good hands from the moment you land.
Depending on the season, there are direct flights from London Gatwick Airport to Athens, Santorini, and Mykonos.
