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.

Cancellation Policy & Travel Insurance

Our retreats would not be made possible without the full commitment of our participants and our cancellation policy reflects this. Payments and reservations are non-refundable.

We ask all participants to purchase travel insurance for financial protection against unforeseen circumstances. We like to use Square Mouth to purchase travel insurance. Square Mouth is a website that allows you to compare and purchase travel insurance from reputable providers.

Purchase Travel Insurance

Yoga Beyond The Studio LLC and Yoga Beyond The Studio Retreats LLC do not sell or solicit any insurance products. You are welcome to use any travel insurance provider you'd like.

Travel Documents

US Citizens traveling to Greece need a current passport. Check the expiration date to make sure that it does not expire within 6 months of your trip. Visas are not required.

ATMs may limit the amount of money you may withdraw, so it is advisable to manage your cash accordingly. Most small businesses prefer cash transactions, but larger hotels and transport companies usually accept Master Card and Visa.
