RETREAT OVERVIEW
Each day will begin with a morning yoga class of meditation and a flowing asana practice on the wonderful yoga platform overlooking the endless blue ocean, opening the body and attuning the mind to the breath.
Morning practice will be followed by a hearty breakfast.
Then you will be free to head off down to the beach, relax by the pool or explore the stunning beauty of the surroundings.
​
The group will meet again in the late afternoon for a second more restorative class to delve deeper into the postures.
The classes will be suitable for all levels and yoga experience.
There will be one yoga free day during the week and no yoga on travel days.

FOOD & ACTIVITIES
Things to do
One could quite easily while away a week of deep rest and rejuvenation here, enjoying the wonderful quiet beach and swimming pool. There's also plenty of space at Vigla Village to find a quiet spot in the shade of the trees enjoying the colours and fragrance of the beautiful flowers.
There's another pretty beach just a 10 minute walk away and the small centre of the village of Spartia, with a couple of shops and a restaurant, is a 30 minute walk away.
For those with an adventurous spirit you can hire a car to explore the outstanding beauty of this island. Caves, boat trips, snorkelling, fishing, trips to stunning local villages and a visit to Myrtos, known to be one of the world's most beautiful beaches, are amongst some of the many things on offer in Kefalonia.
Food
As this week is later in the season, 5 dinners have been included at the local Isalos taverna, just a few minutes walk from Vigla. A traditional 2 course dinner with local wine. For lunch and dinner on 2 evenings people have the option to self cater or eat out at other local tavernas. Each apartment has a small kitchen and the local supermarket will deliver.

LOCATION & ACCOMMODATION
About Vigla
The first thing to strike you about Vigla Village is its sublime location on the Ionian Coast of the Greek island of Kefalonia. It's a feast for the senses as you take in the intoxicating smell of the pine and eucalyptus trees and the crystal clear, deep blue of the Ionian sea. Coupled with the welcoming and open-hearted Greek hospitality of Anna, Angelos and Yannis, you cannot help but begin to relax as soon as you arrive.
Perched high on a clifftop, the clean and comfortable apartments with private balconies, overlook the inspiring panorama. Just a short stroll away you can take the picturesque cliff path down from Vigla to a small, quiet beach and the inviting sea.
Vigla Village simply blows you away; it's the sort of place that you want to come back to time after time.​
