Our days at SkyHut were idyllic; simply just what we needed - an inspired, magical experience that gently revitalized and nourished us. It was a homey yet luxurious escape that truly unloaded my mind and gave me space to relax, connect and also treat and exercise my body.
We went for our 5-year wedding anniversary thinking to try something different, sick of heavy meals and wine for celebrations, thinking we rather needed rest, connection and some nature! Parents of 2 young kids, the offerings created a perfect “storm” of things we desired to recharge us. It was our first ever and 3 days and not too far from Athens was ideal for us. The house is exquisitely designed and well maintained and full of lovely details that inspire harmony curated by Aliki, the owner. Amidst green nature and fruit trees, with options for close-by excursions of immense beauty like waterfalls, plush hiking trails, beaches and thermal baths, what more do you want? I know… a HUGE sky above and around you and sea view. One reason I was drawn to skyhut is the immense sky.. I live in the city and don’t see too much open sky but this gave me the opportunity to live under the sky in all its majestic glory – we saw rich sunrises, feeling the sun rays spread across us and the land and sea during morning yoga, and vibrant sunsets coupled with sound baths and meditation. The stars and full moon were extra gifts. The program was laid out so well, from sunrise to sunset we embraced the best of the day. The morning thermal bath trip, watching the sun emerge from the mountain and bathing before the customary crowds might arrive, was perfect. The meals were surprising, beautiful, vibrant and delicious; we loved each meal and cherished the care taken to make it. We anticipated each meal savoring the tastes and diversity of flavor. Our teachers were inspiring and part of our team. The people we met each revealed such beauty throughout the retreat, we felt happy to be sharing the experience with them, each one adding their unique essence and reminding us about real connection. The feelings and teachings will stay with me and enrich my life for sure. Thank you Aliki for creating SkyHut for us to nourish and empower ourselves and also feel well taken care of!! Im still buzzing and a in a happy mellow daze from my 3 beautiful days well spent. I have also seen some great physical changes like a more toned waist, a flat tummy, more calm and peace, and finally a feeling that I don’t need to rush. I doubt I will resume drinking coffee soon and also I noticed already the mindfulness that has entered my interactions with my children, where I can be more patient and present with them. I will have to come back again soon.
