Yoga Holiday - Samos, Greece, 11th - 18th Sept 2008

You are invited to enjoy a relaxing and rejuvenating week of yoga & meditation on the island of Samos, Greece.

Set on a stunning seashore peninsula, Marnei Mare is a complex of 3 villas, an infinity pool and an open air space for daily yoga practice with a fantastic view to Aegean Sea. From here you can also enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets you have ever seen.

14 acres of biodynamic olive groves surround the villas, along with organically grown fruit and vegetables, spectacular gardens and secluded beaches only 5 mins walk away.

Marnei Mare is a complete cleansing experience from the urban lifestyle and therefore a perfect place for practicing yoga and meditation daily.

 

Accommodation

We will be staying in 3 luxury villas with a beautiful swimming pool overlooking the sea with steps down to the beach. Villa Nicholas and Villa Stelios have 2 twin rooms & one double bedroom and Villa Catherina has 3 twins & one double bedroom. All villas offer an atmosphere of pure relaxation and tranquility.

All bedrooms in Marnei Mare are twins apart from 3 (one in every villa located on the first floor) which are doubles. So, if you are a couple or friends coming together you can request a double or twin room. If you are coming alone, you will need to share with one other student.
