TRAVEL and DO in Greece - The activities of our recreational retreats & cultural vacation

Our services

We offer customized vacation plans and retreats to small or larger groups, which may include on demand one or more of the following activities:

Eastern Arts

Travel and Do's Eastern Art activities, all being practical with minimum theory, focus on breathing exercises, various energy-like postures and movements, natural sounds, massages and meditations, all in the Chinese and/or Indian tradition.

All we actually do is help your body's senses, mind and soul to remember how to deepen into and exploit movement, breathing and concentration in order to feel and channel the flow of energy, for the benefit of health and overall self development.

Each seminar's material - practiced regularly - provides an adequate self awareness tool to maintain, further enhance or even restore in some cases one's health and personal well being.

Our instructors' two main goals are: safe training AND awakening of motivation, so that the participants may feel willing and ready to continue their exercise schedule once they have returned back home, as this is the only way they will fully benefit from what they have learned next to us.

Instruction material such as notes, bibliography and/or video tapes are provided at a minimum extra cost for this purpose.

Expressive Arts

Tango Argentino

Free your emotions and let your body and soul dance to the magical rhythms of the passionate Tango Argentino. Our beginners and advanced workshops are designed to have you up on your feet and dancing social-style Tango Argentino as quickly as possible.

Feel confident to hear the beat and achieve mastery with the intricate steps.

We emphasize the fundamentals, as much as on improvisation, rhythm, music, heart and soul, and most importantly on the vital connection between the leader and follower.

Belly Dancing

Since you will be in Greece, so close to the Middle East and the roots of the Eastern music, experience our workshop on the seductive art of Belly Dance!

It is offered to women only, but men may accompany their female friends on this journey and occupy themselves during the workshop with some of the other activities we offer on site.

Nature activities

Walkabouts

The overall effect of our seminars is enhanced by mild hiking, that lead the group to an interaction with the surrounding natural environment and its energies.

Together we will explore many forgotten old trails that lead into deep gorges, climb up to mountains with breathtaking view or pass through magnificent secluded beaches.

On the walks we fully explain natural, cultural and historical aspects of each region we come across, visiting monuments and churches worth seeing.

We also might take the chance and stop on some field to practice a few breathing exercises.

At the end of the day we deeply feel the significance of us staying connected to earth as much as we can, in order to fully enhance whichever road we have chosen to walk on in our life.

Cycling

Greek islands are perfect for Cycling. The continuous alternation of the landscape makes it so interesting to explore the land by bicycle. The mountains provide a challenge for the experienced cyclists while the endless coastline provides a much easier, but equally wonderful alternative to the less advanced riders.

Horse-back riding

Riding on a horse in such beautiful and virgin environment connects you to the moving powers of life and nature. Your overall point of view and level of life appreciation changes completely by coming so close to the strength, beauty and elegance of a horse. The memory of the sunset you will experience on a horse on Naxos island will stay in your mind and heart for ever!

Sailing & Island Hopping

Snorkelling & Diving

Greek Culture

Greek folk dances and music

The Greek folk music and dances offer us the pleasure of expressing a broad range of feelings, since they have been emerged out of life's deepest emotions and dreams, like freedom, love and hope, but also sorrow, disappointment and loneliness.

The Greek dances are easy to learn and are usually danced in a circle as a group.

You will be introduced to the following types of dances:
1. Kalamatianos: The most popular circular dance
2. Balos: Amorous couple dance
