Yoga Retreat In Ithaca, Greece, 6th-13th June 2026
TURKEY, 2025
Come and join me on an idyllic lagoon retreat! This venue is located in an elevated position in a forested conservation area overlooking the Sülüngür Lagoon with spectacular views across the beautiful Dalyan delta and Istuzu beach. Only 25 minutes from Dalaman airport and yet the venue is peaceful, secluded and immersed in nature. In between yoga classes, tune into birdsong and the hum of cicadas, forest bathe or lounge by the pool. Or wander to the tradititional Turkish village nearby.
A private beach on the lagoon can be reached after a 15-minute walk through the forest for a swim in the lake.
Istuzu, a long, sandy beach in the conservation area where Loggerhead turtles come to lay their eggs is only a short taxi ride away.
Feel the breeze and enjoy the views as we do our twice daily classes outside on a shady yoga platform.
Delicious vegetarian (or vegan) food, with a fish option twice a week. The food at this venue is so good that they have published a successful cookery book with their recipes.
Air-conditioned ensuite bedrooms for single, double or twin accommodation with balconies and lovely forest views.

PRICES INCLUDE yoga twice a day (with one yoga free for excursions), 7 nights accommodation, breakfast & dinner, (ingredients for ‘help yourself’ light lunches are provided in the guest kitchen) and unlimited fruit, water, teas and coffee.
NOT INCLUDED – Flights, transfers from Dalaman airport, excursions, one dinner out on
excursion day, soft drinks, massages. This is an alcohol free retreat, but if you do want to drink alcohol please feel free to elsewhere, but not at the venue.
TRANSPORT: The Lagoon Retreat is 25 minutes from Dalaman airport. Transfer is charged per person and averaged at the cost of everyone so that everyone pays the same, whether they arrive on their own or in a large group. It helps if we can all liaise on flights. If we can arrive as much as possible at the same time, or in clusters it will keep the cost down.
PAYMENT: I will ask for a £300 non refundable deposit when booking. The balance will then be made in stages, with the final payment made 3 months before the retreat. Cancellation within three months of the retreat will result in forfeiting the total payment unless a replacement is found. PLEASE DO TAKE OUT INSURANCE in case unforeseen changes happen and you need to cancel at the last minute. THE VENUE DOES INSIST ON TRAVEL INSURANCE
A NOTE ON MOBILITY
The venue is sited around a hill and has steps, particularly up to the yoga shala which has views from the top of
the site. So please take this into consideration if you have joint or mobility issues. The hike to the lake is a steepish 15 minute walk through the forest. You will need good shoes or walking sandals and be reasonably fit to go up and down, but it’s well worth it!
ITHACA, GREECE, JUNE 6TH- 13TH, 2026
The September retreat was such a wonderful success, I am organising another one for June 2026! Please do let me know if you would like to book a place.
Come and join me for a magical week of yoga, sunshine, clear water and delicious food on this beautiful Ionian island, full of olive groves, hidden beaches and little coves.
This retreat is set in a stunning, peaceful location overlooking the sea. It has a private swimming pool but is also only a short walk away from lovely beaches. One small almost private beach is less than 4 minutes away down a pretty path, and a larger beach with sun loungers and umbrellas for hire is only about a 5 mins walk. A 10 minute walk will take you to another beach with natural shade under the trees.
There are plenty of quiet places to tuck yourself away to read a book or snooze in the shade. Most of the rooms have their own private areas to sit outside.
Yoga:
In the mornings before brunch we will warm up gently before building to a mindful flow, helping to bring strength and fluidity of movement to our bodies. In the evenings before supper we will have a slower, more restorative and explorative session with more of a focus on letting go, meditation, pranayama, mudras, chakras, chanting and a longer guided relaxation than the morning session. (The rest of the day is free for you to either lounge around with a book, take a hike, swim, have a massage or make the most of some the wonderful excursions on offer.
Transport :
Flights are to Kefalonia (not included in the price), where if you arrive around the suggested group time you will be met and driven to FIskardo. From there we will all be taken by private boat to the retreat. The return journey will again be included if it fits around the suggested group time.
Food:
We will enjoy delicious freshly cooked traditional Greek food with a contemporary twist. Meals will mostly be vegetarian with the vegetables organic and locally sourced. Twice during the week however there will be the option of fish.
*Please let me know in advance if you have any allergies or other dietary requirements.
The prices below include:
*Accommodation in luxurious rooms facing the sea
*Yoga twice a day on five days
*Group transit from Kefalonia airport and back again if times fit in with others
*Meals (brunch, afternoon snack, cake and fresh fruit and dinner)

Not included:
Flights, massages (and other therapies), boat rides and other activities are extra….but there is a lot on offer locally to keep you happy…relaxed or busy whatever you prefer! The venue has a speed boat that can be hired with a maximum capacity of 9 people to take you to empty beaches only accessible by boat, or there are kayaks to hire, scuba diving, mountain or E-bikes that can be organised. Or plenty of hikes around the island.
Laundry and ironing can be arranged at extra cost
