When a Greek retreat promised fitness, fun and rediscovering your sense of adventure, Hattie Parish jumped at the chance
Idon’t know about you, but I’ve been feeling pretty disempowered the last couple of years. With pandemic anxiety rumbling on, limited freedoms and the death of spontaneity, life was all feeling a bit ‘meh’. So when I was invited to ‘unleash my Spartan spirit of adventure’, I leapt at the chance. Fitness, culture, and beautiful Greek countryside? Yes please.
You’ll find this invigorating blend at Euphoria Retreat in the Peloponnese region of southern Greece – an area renowned for ancient religious sites, mountain views and the birth of the Olympic games. Euphoria consists of a scattering of terracotta-roofed buildings at the foot of the Taygetus mountains, overlooking the town of Mystras.
