Description of the Retreat

Are you feeling tired and sluggish, in need of a reset? Do you want to feel invigorated and revitalized?

Join us at Nefeli Nine Luxury Fitness Retreats in Dikastika, Greece for a 6-day, 7-night escape. Stay in a beautiful villa with sea views just 45 minutes from Athens airport. Wake up to the sound of the waves lapping the shore.

Switch off and fully immerse yourself for a week of mind and body relaxation, which will include, among other, hiking through historical paths with amazing views and flora to dazzle, sunset yoga sessions, and nourishing and delicious meals eaten while overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

Regardless of whether your goals are weight loss or improved physical performance, our retreats are tailored for your needs. First and foremost, we focus on your wellbeing through fun outdoor fitness and fresh restoring nutrition.

During your week with us you will eat delicious largely plant based food. Indulge in hikes and lots of other fun exercises in amazing surroundings leaving you pleasingly exhausted at the end of the day. You will sleep well, in rooms with lovely views of the Aegean Sea. And of course, there will be some pampering massages to soothe away painful muscles.

Our ethos is to keep it simple, return to the basics, and to achieve a simpler, less complicated way to live better that you can maintain long after you leave us at Nefeli Nine.

    Overall Experience

    This is one of the few special places described as being a blue zone. A global health spot. For me it was
    pure gold. Days full of both purpose and exercise but also time to rest, reflect and restore.

    Steph and Emilio radiate energy, enthusiasm and commitment to deliver both a message and mission of
    health to result in a feeling of well-being.

    The totally diverse group bonded. (I am twice their age) Through humour and endeavour an uplifting
    common ground was quickly found.

    Each meal a delight both visual and taste.

    Overall Experience

    I have just returned from a short Nefeli Nine break. I was promised home cooked food, 3 hour hikes daily,
    and alternating yoga/fitness training by my hosts.

    What I actually got was the most delicious vegan/veggie food I have ever tasted. Breakfast lunch and
    dinner was something I really looked forward to. One day lunch was served at an old working farm and
    our final day we had lunch at a traditional beach side taverna so close to the shore we actually swam as
    lunch was being prepared.

    I had never been on a hike before and was totally blown away by the variety of hikes, the knowledge of
    the guide and the fact that you didn’t have to be super fit to enjoy the best 3 hours of the day.
    And now the final part!! Yes. the work outs !! and the yoga!!

    I wasn’t looking forward to this part, but I have to say the instruction on the body movements and
    particularly for the muscles that we were about to use for the hikes was amazing and very inspiring. So
    much so that since I have been back, I have stretched every single day. The yoga was fun and very
    lighthearted, and I wish I was there and would continue with this teacher.

    All round very enjoyable, It was ME time and so glad I went, it was totally stress free and self-indulgent!

    Overall Experience

    Each morning when I woke up in the big stone villa overlooking the sea, I would sort of giggle to myself
    and think, ‘This is really happening! I actually get to spend the day hiking and doing yoga in beautiful
    Greece!’ Then I would remind myself that I also didn’t have to plan my meals for the day. Healthy food
    would just appear! I would then float down the stairs to morning mobility, truly on cloud nine.

    Overall Experience

    A week I won’t forget for a long time – We laughed most of the day, we look and feel a lot healthier, and
    I have become a hiking fan. And I lost 4 kgs.

    Overall Experience

    Before coming to you I had put together a checklist of all the things I was hoping to achieve during my week, both health and weight related. The combination of the hikes, wonderful food and relaxing in your lovely house resulted in my ticking off every single item on the list. Truly a surprise which I had not expected. Thank you for an amazing week, see you again next June.

    Overall Experience

    …I was initially apprehensive about going to a country I didn’t know to spend a week with people I didn’t know. But right from the very start I was made to feel as if we were old friends. I really enjoyed the incredible scenery on the hikes, the food was just amazing and it all passed so fast. I just wish I had the time to do this every month! Thank you, thank you.

    Steph, I was so happy after my week with you all at Nefeli. A newbie to hiking is now obsessed with it.

    Overall Experience

    After waiting a year and a half, I finally got to attend a yoga retreat with Nefeli Nine (“Nefeli” means “cloud” in Greek), which had been cancelled just before Covid started. It certainly lived up to expectations.

    I have been to several yoga retreats, some in Greece, and I’ve loved them all. What made this one extra special was the love and care lavished on us by our host, Steph. As promised, we ate three beautiful, healthy and delicious vegetarian meals each day, and enjoyed Greek wines in the evening. The one vegan in our group was thoughtfully accommodated at each meal. We also enjoyed excellent, soulful yoga classes taught by the amazing and hilarious Eirini, a Greek product designer who became a yoga instructor several years ago. And then were hikes, each beautiful and very different from one another, delivered by creative botanist Archaelos. Steph herself cooked and baked for us each day, including her delicious homemade granola, helped by Anafei, who cared for the house, cleaned tirelessly, and helped with the cooking, always with good cheer. And we were each treated to a massage by Emily, who was so warm and excellent at her craft. I told Steph it was like visiting a good friend in a beautiful house and being relieved of guilt for not helping out.

    Steph’s enjoyment in the hosting process is palpable, and she has surrounded herself with excellent practitioners who are also her caring friends. She provided all kinds of extras like yoga mats, blocks, and Greek beach towels, thoughtfully brand new during Covid, and kept the group’s numbers low to make everyone feel extra comfortable during this time.

    I can’t wait to attend another retreat, and in the meantime look forward to returning Steph’s hospitality in New York!

Why do you want to start a Fitness Retreat?
This is twofold for me, and stems from two equally important things:

Love for Fitness & Sport: this was something I developed later in life. As a child I was extremely ‘unsporty’ (I loved ballet and all things girly!) but with time this changed, and sport became the reason I woke up in the morning. During my adult life sport has always been important as it makes me feel better. It is through sport that I have met most of my friends. It has taught me how to work with people, how to achieve my goals, even how to set goals that are attainable. This is something I want to share with people, to inspire people to use sport and fitness to make changes in their life. Physical change stimulates mental change!!

​

Love for Greece: I grew up in the UK, lived briefly in France and in the US. As my grandparents got older and we started spending more time with them in Athens, I started discovering Greece more and it’s an outstanding place. Travelling around the mainland and falling in love with everything I saw! Greece has beautiful sea, mountains, rivers, it has huge amounts of culture, fantastic food and great weather. People will undoubtedly feel inspired here.
