Your Itinerary
Day 1 – Greece Arrival & Santorini Sunset Welcome
Touch down in Athens, hop a short flight to Santorini, and meet your new travel family. As the sun sinks over the caldera, we’ll gather for poolside drinks, a gentle stroll through town, and dinner overlooking the sea.
This marks the beginning of our shared journey!
Day 2 – Ancient Wisdom & Volcanic Beaches
Awaken with a morning Vinyasa Yoga flow before wandering the nearby black sand beaches of Kamari, soaking up volcanic energy, then easing into the evening with sunset over the blue domes, happy hour and a lively dinner in Fira.
Day 3 – Oia & Sunset at Sea
Move with your body in a late-morning Pilates Fusion, then let Santorini’s crown jewel – Oia – unfold before you with its winding streets, crisp white walls, and unforgettable Aegean panoramas around every corner.
As afternoon fades, we’ll sail into golden light aboard a catamaran: swimming, sharing wine, dining on deck as the sun dissolves into the horizon. Night out in Fira!
Day 4 – Crossing to Naxos
Ease into the day, then journey by ferry across sapphire waters to Naxos – the Cyclades’ largest island, known for its timeless charm and golden beaches.
At night, we’ll gather for a traditional Greek dinner at a local taverna, followed by the option to enjoy a night out in town beneath the island’s starlit skies.
Day 5 – Snorkeling the Aegean
Start the morning with a relaxing breakfast, then set sail on a catamaran to snorkel Naxos’ hidden coves. Enjoy a traditional Greek lunch served on board.
Swim in crystalline waters, soak in the Aegean sun, and close the evening with a starlit seaside dinner.
Day 6 – Sun, Sea & Serenity
After your morning Barre + Deep Stretch class, we’ll unwind together at St. George’s Beach. Feel the sand beneath your feet, take a dip in the Aegean, and let the calm of Naxos recharge your body and spirit.
Gather for a delicious Greek meal and unwind in Naxos’ charming evening scene.
Day 7 – Paros Arrival & Coastal Rhythms
A leisurely breakfast precedes our ferry to Paros, where Naoussa’s charm and sunlit beaches welcome us.
Check in, ground by the water, and enjoy a first evening dinner in the island’s old town.
Day 8 – Breathwork & Golden Shores
Awaken your body with a martial-arts-inspired Breathwork session, then ease into a blissful beach day along the golden sands of Agioi Anargyroi.
As night falls, we'll sip cocktails and enjoy a lively dinner together in Naoussa’s charming harbor.
Day 9 – Antiparos Escape & Paros Culture
Start your morning practice with a Pilates Flow class – then embark on a day of exploration.
Perhaps a boat to Antiparos’ hidden coves, or an afternoon wandering cobbled village streets.
However the day flows, it ends with a delicious dinner at one of Paros’ most beloved restaurants.
Day 10 – Athens Farewell
Fly back to Athens for a final day in the capital.
Wander the streets of Plaka, explore markets in Monastiraki, and gather one last time for a rooftop dinner overlooking the Acropolis.
A parting toast to shared journeys, new friends, and the path that continues beyond Greece!

Retreat FAQs
1. Which airport do I need to fly in and out of? Plus airport code.
Fly into Athens Airport (ATH) first and then to Santorini International Airport (JTR).
2. What time should my flight arrive (in time for the welcome meeting)?
We suggest arriving to Santorini before 4 pm on Day 1, to allow yourself enough time to freshen up before our welcome dinner! Check in at the hotel is from 3 pm.
3. What time should my flight depart on the last day?
There are no planned activities for Day 10, so you can depart at your own leisure. Athens Airport (ATH) is approximately 30 minutes (by car) or 1 hour (by train) from your final hotel. Your Guides can help you book transfers the night before if needed.
4. Is transportation included?
Some of it, yes. All inter-island ferries – Santorini to Naxos, Naxos to Paros, and Paros to Athens – are included. In addition, group transfers by van / bus are included for excursions such as Fira to Kamari Beach, Fira to Oia, Oia to the Sunset Catamaran, and Paros to Naoussa. Flights to and from the islands, as well as airport transfers, are not included. Your Guides will help coordinate shared taxis or transfers so you can split costs with other Pathfinders whenever possible.
5. Are tips included?
Some, yes! Tips for your Guides as well as your Catamaran crews in Santorini and Naxos are included in the cost of this adventure. Tips for drivers, restaurants, and any additional services are not included and are left to your discretion. In Greece, it’s customary to tip about 2–3 EUR per transfer for drivers and 5–10% of the bill in restaurants and cafés (rounding up is perfectly fine). However, all tips are at your discretion depending on what you feel comfortable with.
6. What vaccinations and medication will I need?
While we are not medical professionals and cannot offer personalized medical advice, we want to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable adventure. Here are some tips to help you prepare.
1. Consult with a healthcare professional
We recommend scheduling an appointment with your travel nurse or doctor at least eight weeks before your adventure. This will give you ample time to receive any necessary vaccines or medications.
2. Up-to-date medical advice
• UK residents: visit the 'NHS Fit For Travel' website for the latest medical advice.
• US residents: check the 'U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention' website for specialized health information.
• Australian residents: refer to the 'Smart Traveler Health' website for current medical advice.
3. Government travel advice
• UK residents: review the 'Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) Travel Advice' before your adventure.
• US residents: consult the 'US Department of State Travel Advice' for important travel information.
• Australian residents: check the 'Smart Traveler' website for up-to-date travel advice.
4. Medication tips
If you take prescription medication, ensure you bring enough to last the entire adventure, plus a few extra days in case of travel delays. Carry a copy of your prescription with you in case you need to visit a clinic while abroad.
We hope this information will help you prepare for a safe and healthy adventure.
7. Do I need a visa?
Up-to-date visa and entry information can be found using our official partner, Sherpa, who can help you arrange a visa if needed. You can also find essential travel advice – including security and local laws, as well as passport and visa information – on the government website of your home country: • UK residents: review the 'Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) Travel Advice' before your adventure. • US residents: consult the 'US Department of State Travel Advice' for important travel information. Australian residents: check the 'Smart Traveler' website for up-to-date travel advice. • Residents of other countries: refer to the travel advice provided by your own government or local consulate. Please be aware that passport and visa requirements can change before departure, so it’s important to stay updated with the latest information.
8. Is there a lot of free time on this adventure?
This Greek odyssey strikes a balance between scheduled activities and free time, allowing you to explore at your own pace. Each full day of the journey includes some free time for you to enjoy and explore. If you prefer a more fast-paced experience, you may want to arrange extra activities during these periods – your Guides will be happy to suggest options and assist with bookings. For more detailed information about the itinerary, please reach out to our Travel Experts who are here to help you make the most of your adventure.
9. Are there any optional experiences?
Yes! We offer two highly recommended add-ons that elevate your Greek Isles journey:
Sunset Catamaran in Santorini (Oia) – Sail along Santorini’s dramatic coastline, stop for a refreshing swim, and enjoy a traditional Greek meal with unlimited drinks on board. The evening concludes with the island’s world-famous Oia sunset viewed from the water.
Full-Day Catamaran & Snorkeling in Naxos – Spend the day exploring hidden coves and crystalline waters around Naxos. Swim, snorkel, and relax on deck while enjoying a fresh Greek lunch with unlimited drinks, all set against the breathtaking Aegean backdrop.
Details on pricing and availability will be shared during your discovery call!
10. Are there any extra costs to be aware of?
Any personal purchases are not included in your retreat rate. This can include things like food or drinks outside of the included group meals, souvenirs or personal shopping, optional activities not part of the itinerary, and some beaches may charge for lounge chairs or umbrellas. Everything included in your retreats package such as ferries, vans, busses, guided classes, select meals, and gratuities for your Guides and Catamaran crews are already covered, so all other extras are entirely at your discretion.
11. Do I have to share a room?
Not at all. While many guests choose to share, solo rooms are available for an additional cost. We’ll walk you through the options during your discovery call so you can decide what feels most comfortable for your journey.
12. Will this itinerary change?
Please be aware that the itinerary, activities and hotels are subject to change. These changes can happen with little notice due to availability, poor weather, seasonal changes, or other circumstances beyond our control – but we’ll always do our best to ensure it has little impact on your experience. From time to time, we may also make changes to your itinerary to try out new ideas and keep things fresh and exciting.
