8 Day Luxury Villa Fitness and Wellness Retreat in Greece

Biking

A bike ride to the island's natural spa / springs. Therma beach is an approximately 17 km ride from the retreat. The route takes you on an incredible journey giving you some incredible photo opportunities eventually reaching your destination. the hot springs are a real treasure containing elements such as potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, and chlorine ideal treatments for rheumatism, arthritis, and any gynaecological related issues. The route is a bit challenging in places but definitely not unachievable for those that like to keep fit. There are some uphill moments, but remember, for every uphill, you have to come down at some point, giving you some time to recuperate. In total, the route is approximately 35 kilometer there and back, but halfway you get to have a well-deserved break, where you get to soak up the benefits the natural spring has to offer.

Hiking

A hike to the highest point of the island, Dikeos mountain. Heading off from the picturesque mountain village of Zia, you begin your ascent up Dikeos mountain to reach the highest peak of 846 m. To some this may not seem very high, however, the views at the top of Dikeos are incredible. On a perfectly clear day there is the prospect of seeing all the way to Samos Island which is around 90 km away, so even on a less clear day to views of the neighbouring islands and Turkey are out of this world. The route itself will take approximately 2 hours up and 2 hours down, take as long as you want at the top. You will venture through nature, taking in all that the hiking spots have to offer. On the return to Zia, you will have the opportunity to explore the village, look around the shops and relax in one of the village's amazing cafes or restaurants.
