Vericoco Retreat
located on the lush island of Kefalonia, Greece
October 1-8, 2022
Kefalonia Greece
Welcome to the largest and one of the most beautiful Greek islands in the Ionian group. Known for its wine, olives, limestone cliffs and stunning clear aqua marine water, Kefalonia is a paradise for tourists and Greeks alike. Relax in warm water or hike the nearby mountains. Kefalonia is known for its beautiful beaches and lush countryside. It is naturally pristine and quiet.
Vericoco Retreat
Vericoco Retreat is set within olive groves and vineyards with magnificent views of the majestic Mount Aenos and the Mediterranean Sea. Just a short stroll down the hill offers you the choice of the two nearest beaches, both with trademark Kefalonian crystal-clear shallow waters. The accommodations are stylish and comfortable with breathtaking views of the Ionian Sea. You will receive two meals daily cooked on property with a wood burning stove and outdoor dining. You can expect fresh, home-cooked food using organic and local produce, mostly from their vegetable gardens. The menu leans toward Greek and Mediterranean style, however the chef will incorporate modern twists on traditional recipes to create new and exciting dishes. All dietary restrictions can be accommodated.
The Yoga Experience
The yoga space is open air, spacious, and provides a wonderful place for creative movement. There will be two optional yoga classes daily taught by Kate; vinyasa flow, bikram method, yin/restorative yoga, partner stretching, and a class on mediation and breath work. You can pick and choose which classes you want to take or participate in all of them! All yoga mats and props will be provided which makes it easy for travel!
Tips from the owners
Around the estate are plenty of quiet spots for you to take time out to rest or explore, including the organic vegetable gardens and the fruit tree grove where olive oil and honey production take place. Vericoco Retreat is walking distance to the local town for you to experience the traditional Kefalonian life. We can help you organize an island sailing adventure, wine and vineyard tours, biking the island, hiking tours, and snorkeling the Drdogarati Cave and Melissani Lake. You can even head to the other side of the island for a night of Greek dancing!
This is your VACATION! Do what feels great for you! If practicing multiple yoga classes a day is what you want then I am here for you! However, some guests like to take days off of yoga and explore the island and rest. I fully support your choices and never make yoga classes mandatory. This is time for you to recharge and enjoy yourself.

Getting to Kefalonia/Travel Tips
If you are departing from the US, fly into Athens and then book a commuter flight to Kefalonia. Kefalonia is a 15 minute cab ride to Vericoco Retreat. UK travelers can fly direct to Kefalonia from London. I have found many flights arrive in Athens late at night therefore it is recommended to stay the night in Athens or your and “see the sights” before hopping over to the island. If you need assistance in booking flights let Kate know and she can help! The retreat starts on October 1st, so you may have to depart the States in late September! In the past when we have traveled far, it was common for guests to arrive to Europe earlier than the start date or stay later to explore parts of Europe!
