ATHENS | CRETE
Curious Nomad Travel, in collaboration with Kodawari Studios, invites you to Athens, Greece and the Greek island of Crete for an immersive wellness journey where you will rejuvenate mind, body, and spirit.
Your journey begins in Athens, where you will enjoy sweeping sunset views, stimulating city walks, a private small group tour of the legendary Acropolis, and a famous Greek souvlaki lunch overlooking the historic center. The rest of your time is free for shopping, museums, and perhaps a relaxing treatment at the Athens Hammam!
From Athens, you fly to Crete, where your home for the next seven days is a five-star, adults-only, all-inclusive resort with stunning amenities and sea views. With its rich history, delicious cuisine, and warm hospitality, Crete is a popular choice for travelers, yet still off the beaten path for most Americans… making it the perfect place to truly get away. As a wellness destination, Crete is unparalleled. The body, mind, and spirit benefit from all that Crete has to offer starting with the heralded “Cretan Diet.” There is also no better place to connect to the outdoors, whether you want to explore rugged gorges and flower-laded plateaus or the tranquil beaches and crystal-clear blue seas. The island’s rich and varied history, connection to mythology, and unique culture tantalize the curious.
This Wellness Journey includes opportunities for active exploration as well as rest and inward discovery. Daily offerings include yoga, guided meditation, sauna, guided hikes, village walks, cooking and dance classes, wine and olive oil tasting, and guided excursions to important historical sites. There is always the option for self-guided exploration, resort spa services, and relaxation. You’ll also get to experience a beautiful private dinner hosted by a Cretan family at their lovingly-restored family farmhouse.
