The first hike is a beautiful route on narrow paved lanes through lemon groves and vineyards.

In the distance you will be able to see the spire of the small Ano Gerakari church, proudly built on top of a hill. This summit is our goal. We take a shaded path which meanders uphill and with every step the views become more spectacular.

Our Yoga sessions will help us meditate, relax and find our inner calm. We then bring our morning to a close with our Capoeira session,  a gracious Afro -Brazilian martial art combined with aerobics, music and dance. The afternoon is at your leisure but make sure you build up an appetite for the included evening dinner at a nearby Taverna.

DAY 5

Cycling - Village,Views & Cooking with the locals

After breakfast, we will receive our bicycles, each has 21 gears, which will help us conquer every hill on our path. This wonderful route over the fertile plain of the island is specially designed, running over narrow paved roads with the only congestion being the odd sheep or goat that may cross our path. We then enter the quaint village of Pigadakia where we’ll visit the local museum of Vertzagio. The owner and collector Spiros has gathered a barn full of Zakynthian items of past generations. Next break is at the organic farm of TherianosDimitri and his family will explain how they produce their olive oil.

Sailing - Swimming & Snorkelling

This morning we transfer from the Angela studios to the small harbor of Limni Keri where we board our private  ‘kaiki’ style motorboat to start our day on the water.  Near the Keri Caves we’ll anchor in a secluded cove and take the opportunity to swim and cool off in the crystal clear waters ideal for snorkeling.

Around lunch time we’ll moor in the small port of Limni Keri where the best fresh fish of the islands is served and if we so wish we can take lunch (at own cost).
