1. Unwind in the land of gods and goddesses

Yoga workshops combined with ancient Greek history? It works

Thanks to its dramatic coastlines and picture-perfect sunsets, Greece’s Epidaurus is primed for rejuvenating wellness breaks. The ancient seaside village, which is said to have been the birthplace of Asklepios – the Greek god of healing, has been a place of sanctuary for the last 4,000 years, a tradition that is being kept alive by Magic Epidavros and its team of wellness experts. Together, they lead a variety of retreats that combine yoga, meditation and other revitalising activities. In their downtime, participants can choose to relax on the beach, explore the village’s ancient ruins or get active with biking, kayaking and much more.
