68. Yoga Retreat in Elafonisos with the Turquoise Waters, June 2023

Yoga Retreat Elafonisos

For the 2nd year, the Yoga Retreat in Elafonisos enchanted us with its emerald waters and stunning sunsets. It is a place so simple yet so famous, rightfully showcasing one of the most beautiful beaches in the world: Simos. A beach of extraordinary beauty, which you approach by walking through cedar trees and sand dunes, leaving you speechless as you behold its unique character that splits into two and all the various shades of blue.

Our program included morning and afternoon yoga sessions in the lovely spaces of Capari Suites, held in two differently designed halls. In our afternoon practice, after meditation, as soon as we opened our eyes, we would see the sun sinking into the sea, once again enjoying all the vibrant shades of red. In the evenings, we enjoyed fresh fish at the wonderful tavernas of the picturesque village, right on the water’s edge.

Elafonisos gives true meaning to what “Greek summer” really stands for.


Highlights of the Retreat:

  • The Location: Simos beach, one of the world’s top-rated coastlines.

  • The Practice: Sunset meditation at Capari Suites overlooking the Laconian Gulf.

  • The Vibe: Authentic island life, fresh seafood, and turquoise horizons.

The image of opening your eyes from meditation to a red sunset is beautiful.
