The Journey
If you've joined us on a retreat before, you know our locations are truly special, tucked away from the usual tourist paths. This seclusion is part of their charm.
If you are new to our community, our locations may require a bit of a journey, but it's one that's absolutely worth it.
The remote location of Amorgos acts as a natural filter, keeping crowds small and the island unspoiled. Because there is only one ferry from Santorini to Amorgos each day, it is crucial to be early for the ferry. If the ferry is missed, you will miss the start of our retreat and will need to repurchase ferry tickets for another day.
On the day our retreat begins, you will meet at the Ferry Port in Santorini (approximately 20 minutes from the airport) at the designated time to take the ferry to Amorgos (approximately 1.5 hours).
Once you arrive in Amorgos, you will be greeted by your transfer to the hotel (approximately 30-minute drive).
We highly recommend spending the night before and after the retreat in Greece locally so you are not worried about missed flights, connections, etc.
