Adventure - Education - Play 

Greek Mythology 

We will learn about the 12 Gods of Olympus and their adventures! 

Adventures

We will enjoy daily adventures and visits to archeological sites. 

Explore the coast 

We will explore the stunning coast of the Peloponnese and visit the homeland of Jason and the Argonaughts.

 Democracy: The Voice of the People

Democracy was born in ancient Athens over 2,500 years ago. It was the first time in history that citizens were given a voice in how they were governed. Though only free male citizens could participate, the foundational ideas of equality, civic duty, and the power of collective decision-making set the stage for modern democratic systems. During our retreat, we’ll walk the Agora where debates once shaped history and hold our own democratic forum.


Medicine: Healing from the Wisdom of Asclepius

The roots of Western medicine trace back to Greece, where healing was both a science and a sacred art. Hippocrates, known as the father of medicine, emphasized observation, diet, and balance. Meanwhile, the temples of Asclepius served as sanctuaries where dream incubation and rituals were used for deep healing. Participants will explore ancient healing practices and learn how holistic wisdom continues to influence modern medicine.

The Olympian Gods

Meet the 12 powerful deities of Mount Olympus, each representing unique aspects of human nature and the cosmos. Through storytelling, art, and ritual, we’ll discover how their myths still live in us today.

Nafplio, the first capital of modern Greece, charms with its Venetian fortresses and neoclassical elegance. Cobblestone alleys wind through old town, lined with bougainvillea and vibrant cafes.

Staying home to play

Crystal-clear, pebbly shores fringed by pine and tamarisk trees make Epidavros beach perfect for peaceful swimming and gentle snorkelling near submerged ruins. Gialasi is the go‑to family-friendly stretch with sunbeds, beach bars, and shallow waters, while Vagionia and Kalamaki offer secluded spots embraced by greenery. Don’t miss a dip above the “sunken city” — ancient foundations and amphorae lie just two meters below the surface, offering a uniquely historic swim.
