Start the morning with yoga before heading to one of the highlights of the entire retreat: the Sanctuary of Amphiaraos at Oropos.

Back at the villa, we’ll enjoy a late lunch at around 3pm, followed by free time to swim, read, relax or simply enjoy the surroundings.
That evening, we’ll come together for a beautiful traditional home-cooked Greek dinner, prepared especially for us.

After a relaxed afternoon, we’ll head out at 7.30pm for our final evening together, sharing traditional Greek meze at a local taverna.

SOCIAL IMPACT
Freedom retreats are built on reciprocity — community development through personal development. When you invest in yourself, you also invest in the places that host you. We work directly with local hosts and partners, and a portion of profits from each retreat is returned to the community through fair pay, local sourcing, and contributions to agreed local needs. We build long-term relationships with our hosts, so every retreat creates value that lasts beyond the week.
