"Anyone looking for a yoga holiday in Greece, look no further! This place is so much better than you imagine when you see it on the website. The house is absolutely beautiful, owned by architects and reflects style, good living, and warmth. Lovely courtyard where we have our meals. Beautiful view. 5 mins walk to the lovely village. Go to Despina for coffee and cakes, they are phenomenal! The food here was amazing, not only good but also very good looking. I did yoga with Eugenia, I'm not normally a fan of Iyengar yoga but have come to love it through Eugenia's teaching. There are some breathtaking beaches around here too!"

"How can I begin to express the tranformation and revelation that this week has been? Soul-food indeed. Indeed. Such wonderful, open, warm people, exquisite surroundings, and days and nights full of sunshine and laughter... I feel blessed :-) I have found muscles I never knew existed, swam in clear, healing waters, gazed upon unbelievably beautiful sunsets, eaten truly amazing feasts, given myself permission to just do nothing, shared laughter and genuine warmth and love all around - and slept more than I knew possible! Do keep this precious place just as it is - so when I next come back, the journey may continue... Bless you all - and thank you. Thank you."

"The whole week has been a truly amazing experience – the yoga, the village, the surroundings, but most especially, the people and the wondrous spirit imparted. It has been a true awakening and the recognition of inner self and stillness. Everybody has been a true inspiration."

“Words can’t really explain the magical experience I have had here with you, so I’m not going to be able to get it across on this page, but thank you so much for one of the most wonderful, peaceful experiences of my life. It truly has been magical, from the company, to the yoga, to the landscape and house, oh, and the food! And tea!!! AND THE SEA! My room was fit for a princess, truly beautiful. The house is entirely peaceful. I’ll go back having learnt enough to prompt myself to change my life for the better.”

"It all happens for a reason. I’m so grateful to have found Eugenia’s little paradise place and to have enjoyed nature, yoga, people, delicious vegetarian dinners and most of all the wonderful seaview that really brings me back to my breath. Namaste"

“Although I could only stay here for only 5 days, I feel completely refreshed. Not that I am excited about going back to the city and office, but I do feel ready to go back to work and face new challenges. I also recovered from my chronic fatigue.”

"Ψωμί για σώμα και ψυχή εφάγαμε στη βίλα που δεν θα ξεχαστεί ποτέ ούτε σε χρόνια χίλια." (An ingenious "mantinada" – Cretan rhyming poem put together and recited spontaneously in various social occasions – which freely translates: "Our bodies and souls were fed in the villa, which will never be forgotten even in a thousand years.")
E., Birmingham, UK
“YogaOnCrete is an ideal holiday for begginers or intermediate yoga students who want small classes, one-to-one attention, and a private house party atmosphere”
