Euphoria Retreat

At the heart of Euphorias philosophy is a specific focus on re-building strength and immunity - so that you can leave the resort better able to face daily challenges, both mentally and physically. This sets the tone for everything from bespoke programmes to group classes (dont miss yoga with Liz, or the extraordinary hikes with Elias through the unbelievably picturesque surrounding mountainside) to the food, which is fresh, nutritious and gloriously abundant. You most certainly wont be hungry: the Euphoria nutritionist works with each guest to craft a culinary programme that suits their specific needs and goals, but typically each day starts with a delectable and perfectly apportioned Greek breakfast (be it thick, creamy yogurt dressed with nuts and fruit, buckwheat pancakes, or Euphorias unforgettably good homemade granola with nut milk) and a tall, iced glass of water infused with local mountain herbs. Then, fresh smoothies and snacks are made for you and delivered to you. For lunch and dinner, some delectable variation on the theme of fresh fish, grilled or steamed, with wilted greens and Greek salads, served up in the restaurant.
