Retreat location
The retreat will take place in Neapoli Voion, Greece.
Neapolis, formerly the capital of the Vatika municipality, lies nestled in the bay between Elafonisos and the Kavomaleas peninsula, right in front of the beach. It’s truly a unique spot, being the southeastern most continental city not just of Greece, but of all Europe.
The unique aura of Neapolis truly invites you to discover it! Wander through its small, secret alleys, and admire the impressive 19th-century street plan. Take in the architecture and the picturesque charm of its old town. Make sure to visit the Church of Agia Triada, standing proudly on the highest point of the hill, and soak in the vibrant colors of the sunset from the pier. Indulge in local delights like ouzo and octopus, alongside various meze, right by the sea. Stroll along the coastline and enjoy swimming in its two-kilometer, organized beach, which has proudly flown the “Blue Flag” for many years.
In Neapolis, you can also explore the Archaeological Museum of Neapolis, the Maritime Museum, and the Achilleas Varvaresos Art Gallery.
