Kissamos, or Kastelli, is a quaint town known for its local farming community and a charming network of cobbled streets lined with shops and cafés. It leads to a picturesque area by the sea, boasting traditional Cretan fish restaurants.

Our yoga venue is on the very outskirts of the small town. Here the sea is clean, warm and shallow making for easy swimming with a long quiet strand of golden sandy beach with occasional shingle. Our beach is called Mavros Molos and the yoga space is above it looking out to sea.

Kastelli is a seaside resort which attracts Greek tourists. Behind this coastal plain the backdrop is mountainous, the area being broken into gorges and craggy peaks. Providing for many easy grade walks, bird of prey spotting, wild flowers and old rural ways like treading grapes.

Apart from sunbathing, swimming, snorkelling and yoga you can visit ancient ruins, take a boat cruise, explore the Venetian town of Chania, walk gorges or be still and enjoy the ocean.

Our hosts Michalis and Maria own the beachside taverna. They will be feeding us after the morning yoga class and on selected evenings during the week - we are keeping some evenings spare so we can visit the restaurants mentioned above. 

Maria is a fantastic cook and during the week there will be the option of attending a cookery class where you will be taught how to prepare traditional Greek vegetarian meals. - yum!

There will also be an optional excursion to the organic olive oil mill at Astrikas, this is world famous olive oil which you can purchase on site if you wish. Including both organic lemon and orange olive oil. To find out more go to www.biolea.gr
