ABOUT SKIATHOS
We've loved Greece for a long time (we were married in Zakynthos) and fell in love with Skiathos in 2019, we can't wait to show you around! It's one of the greenest Greek islands and sits in the Northern Sporades in the Aegean sea. Its green hills are lush with pine and eucalyptus and when we're there in Spring there will be an abundance of wildflowers.
There are 60 beaches on this small island, with golden sand and crystal blue waters. We won't get round all of them but we'll definitely make a bee line for our favourites when the sun is shining!
Speaking of sunshine - May can be quite changeable so we will likely have a variety of weather. During a two week trip in May 2023 we had both glorious blue skies and sunshine (shorts and t-shirt weather) and cosy, rainy days. The island is beautiful in any weather and we'll plan the activities accordingly. We've chosen this time of year because cooler days are perfect for exploring the many hiking trails and hilly parts of town that would be a no-go in the summer heat.
You can fly direct to Skiathos from Manchester and other major cities.
THE VILLA
We've hired a stunning private villa that you won't find on any booking websites - it was a chance meeting on our last trip to the island that helped us find this special place.
Each of the 4 available bedrooms has a kingsize bed and ensuite bathroom. As the rooms are shared beds you will need to come with someone you know... however, if you're a solo traveller you can have the room to yourself (see prices below).
The shared spaces are beautifully decorated and provide the perfect setting for rest and relaxation.
And yes, there is an infinity pool with incredible views. Anyone for a mindful swim?!
YOUR HOSTS
Rossiter's at your service!
Natalie is a counsellor, mindfulness teacher and nature connection guide.
Steve is a talented chef and cookery teacher with over 20 years experience in the catering trade..
We are here to support, guide and take care of you. The atmosphere will be relaxed and friendly; we want you to feel that you can be yourself and truly relax here.
ACTIVITIES
Did you know there are actually 7 types of rest? Well this is The Full Recharge Retreat so you will experience them all!
During our week together you will....
Find calm with guided mindfulness meditations
Connect with yourself through reflective journaling
Immerse yourself in nature on a Forest Bathing session
Explore scenic hiking trails
Stretch it out at rooftop yoga
Chill out during free time; read, wander, swim, nap or do whatever you please!
FOOD
This wouldn't be a Full Recharge Retreat without full bellies! We'll be serving delicious, homemade and fresh dishes that leave you feeling nourished and happy.
There will be a seasonal, local and veggie focus. Steve is an outdoor cooking enthusiast so expect BBQs as well as salads, soups and Greek specialities.
We'll also have the opportunity to visit local tavernas. And of course plenty of ice cream - I had a baklava flavour one on our last trip that was divine!
IMPORTANT DETAILS
What's included?
7 nights accommodation in a luxury villa, most meals (all breakfasts, 2 lunches, 5 dinners), activities mentioned above & airport pick up/drop off in Skiathos.
Not included: flights, additional optional activities (eg. boat trip/massage etc), some lunches and a couple of evening meals out.
Getting here & traveling on the island:
The easiest way to get here is to fly direct from Manchester, with EasyJet, their flight dates align with the retreat. Look out for deals on airline websites or use Skyscanner to compare prices. January sales can be a good time to book but don't leave it too late as it's only a small island and it can get booked up. Drop me an email if you want to chat more about this, we're happy to help!
We'll be at the airport to collect you and take you to the villa. During the retreat week we'll organise any transport needed for the activities planned and there is a great bus service on the island (there's basically one main road there from the town along the coast to the nature reserve at the other end). If you want more independence you can hire a quad bike or car to explore hidden beaches and mountain roads. It's best to organise this here, there's lots of options and we can help you. Alternatively you can simply explore on foot - please note the villa is on a hill but we'll be around most of the time if you want picking up from the nearest beach.
