Step away from the noise and step into nature. This isn’t just a retreat—it’s a return to the essentials. Rooted in the rhythms of the olive tree, this 5-day experience blends hands-on harvest rituals, deep cultural immersion, and authentic Greek hospitality. You’ll learn, taste, create, and feel—mindfully, joyfully, and memorably.
