Come and join AdventureYogi on their sunshine yoga holiday Santorini. The wonderful heart-warming people of Greece, the food, and the stunning scenery make it a very special location to retreat to. There really is nothing else quite like Santorini for these sunshine yoga holidays.
The days are yours on our summer yoga retreat to do as you please. Our venue is a typical simple greek-style private villa with 180 degree views of the Aegean Sea and a 20-minute walk into Thira. There is an outdoor pool with wonderful views to relax and read a good book. Or you can walk into Thira where there are many cobbled little mews with shops, cafes and stunning views of the Caldera, relax by taking in the sights here. In Oia you can do the same, both are white-washed villages stacked on the volcanic hillside facing the Caldera that is infamous.
On your yoga holiday to Greece, we highly recommend a day sailing around the Caldera on a yacht (not included in the price) and this can be done privately or in a group booking with others to make things more affordable. For the more adventurous and to enjoy complete freedom, you can decide to hire a quad bike, scooter or car and take a drive around the Island and visit the volcanic black sandy beaches and historic sites. It’s your yoga holiday to Santorini, so be as active or relaxed as you like.
They bring their own chef and include all breakfasts, 5 evening meals, drinking water with meals, plus of course, twice daily yoga either indoors or outside to enjoy the views.
Santorini is an expensive Island, and the shops have some lovely things that might tempt you. For the two evening meals out there is a choice of expensive and more affordable options depending on your budget. This yoga holiday is perfect for someone looking to completely relax and we have left the schedule open so you can fill the time as you please.
About the yoga
Drawing from the energy of fire and water that surrounds you here in Santorini, with the volcano the Caldera and the Aegean sea, these elements will come into play during your yoga experience. From these elements be prepared for a powerful transformation. In the mornings there will be a more dynamic yoga class to wake the body and mind with meditation and pranayama whilst overlooking the views of the sea below.
The evening classes will be Yin and Restorative yoga and held either in the yoga studio or outside. With 3 hours of yoga over 6 days, start to unwind from your daily life and release into relaxation and feel your energy revitalize over your week with us. Any age, ability, or level can enjoy this yoga practice.

Retreat location
Santorini is one of the Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea. It has taken its shape, with the Caldera (crater) the body of sea that you can see from Oia and Thira from a volcanic eruption in the 16th Century BC, forever shaping its rugged landscape. The island is well known for its beautiful whitewashed towns and the white and blue churches of Thira and Oia that perch on the cliffs overlooking the Caldera.
Here you can sit in stylish cafes and enjoy a meal or drink and watch some of the most spellbinding sunsets you will ever see, a reflection of the colors of the volcanic island and the red, burnt orange, and black sandy beaches.
Food
All of the retreat chefs are highly experienced and passionate about their craft. There has always been a vegan/vegetarian company since 2006. The chef on this yoga holiday will create a menu that will reflect the local and seasonal produce available, with a Greek flare seeing as the holiday is in Greece. Expect delicious and creative brunch and a 2-course evening meal for 5 evenings. Each meal will be balanced to keep you energized all day.
