Yoga and hiking in Irakleia

29 May until 5 June 2027

The photogenic island of Irakleia is located in the heart of the Aegean, together with the other Small Cyclades islands of Koufonisia, Donoussa and Schinoussa.

This remote paradise is small and unspoiled, with no crowds of tourists and a peaceful atmosphere. With its serene environment and natural beauty, Irakleia provides an ideal setting for relaxation, meditation and renewal.
Iraklia is connected to Piraeus port in Athens by ferry (7 hours) and also to Naxos island. Wake up each day to sunrise views and magnificent views of the neighbouring islands. Practice yoga listening to the sound of the birds, then enjoy a scrumptious brunch lovingly prepared. We will have the opportunity to discover the island by foot, guided by our host Fanis. One day we will explore remote beaches with a boat. Every evening we will eat at a different restaurant/taverna, after our yin yoga practice. Two beautiful beaches are within walking distance.
This is your perfect retreat if you:
want to discover a small island off the beaten path, enjoy the silence and authenticity and want to immerse yourself in nature, and are willing to travel a little bit further to access it.
This is not the retreat for you if you need:
easy and quick access to the island, crowds and mass tourism, shops, noise and nightlife.

The closest airport is on Naxos island. The easiest way to reach Irakleia is to fly to Athens, then take a short domestic flight to Naxos and from Naxos take the Express Skopelitis boat to Irakleia. Please check the ferry connections before booking your flights.
