Discover the Magic of Crete: A Yoga Holiday to Remember
For the first time, Geny Caloisi is bringing her transformative yoga holiday to the enchanting island of Crete.
From October 14th to 21st, 2025, immerse yourself in a week of relaxation, rejuvenation, and adventure at a serene beachfront venue in the quaint town of Kissamos (also known as Kastelli).
Kissamos, a charming town steeped in rustic charm, is a hub for the local farming community, dotted with cobbled streets that lead to cosy shops and traditional cafés. The town’s seafront boasts inviting Cretan fish restaurants, perfect for sampling the island’s renowned cuisine.
The Venue: A Yoga Oasis by the Beach
Your home for the week is a traditional taverna nestled right on the golden sands of Kissamos Beach. Its rooftop yoga space offers breathtaking views of the sea—imagine starting your day with sun salutations as the waves gently lap the shore. The accommodations are simple yet comfortable, with en-suite rooms featuring pine beds, air conditioning, and most offering fridges and hair dryers.
The sea here is crystal-clear, warm, and shallow, making it ideal for swimming and snorkelling. The beach, a mix of soft golden sand and occasional shingle, stretches quietly, providing a peaceful escape for sunbathing, walking, or simply savouring the beauty of the Mediterranean.
A Blend of Yoga, Exploration, and Gastronomy
This retreat is much more than yoga. While your mornings begin with energizing yoga classes, your afternoons and evenings are yours to explore and indulge.
- Local Adventures: Visit ancient ruins, walk through breathtaking gorges, or take a day cruise to nearby islands. For a dose of Venetian charm, the historic town of Chania is just a short trip away.
- Culinary Delights: Maria, the Lodge’s host and an extraordinary cook, will treat you to delicious Cretan breakfasts and five group dinners, including a cooking class where you’ll learn to prepare traditional Greek vegetarian dishes. The best part? You’ll get to savour your creations!
- Free Evenings to Explore: Two evenings are left open for you to venture further afield and dine at local restaurants, experiencing the full spectrum of Cretan cuisine.
