THE VENUE

The workshop will take place on the picturesque Greek island of Hydra. One of the most distinctive features of Hydra is that there are no cars or motorbikes permitted on the island, and the harbour boasts a selection of sailing yachts from around the world. The Hydroussa Hotel is an elegant, traditional hotel overlooking a courtyard with lemon trees. Each room has been refurbished recently to a high standard with a new en-suite bathroom, state of the art double glazing and net screens, telephone, air conditioning and TV. This fine example of traditional Island architecture boasts a magnificent drawing room (considered as a museum), and this is where the yoga classes will take place. The rooms have hot drink making facilities. There are superior rooms only available.

CANCELLATION CONDITIONS AND TRAVEL INFORMATION

Full balance is due on or before 8 July when the hotel requires full payment; after that date no refund is payable. Places are not transferable. Please note the accommodation component is priced in Euros to reflect fluctuating exchange rates.

Flights depart from a variety of UK airports to Athens. Hydra is then 90 minutes on the hydrofoil; the hotel is less than 5 minutes’ walk from the port of Hydra.

The last ferry can leave Piraeus as early as 5pm, so ensure check ferry timetable and book your ferry, and that your flight arrives in Athens in good time to catch it. Ferry timetables are on line and I can advise you in detail if it’s your first time travelling to Hydra. From Athens airport it is possible to get a coach, tube (one change), or taxi to the port to catch the ferry. I suggest you allow a minimum of a two hour window from landing time before ferry departure. The taxi ride takes approx 45 minutes, allow double that if taking the bus or tube.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
