Athenian Serendipity

The Happiness Retreat - Athenian Serendipity / Athens
An Urban Journey at the Ancient Pathways of Happiness.
7 days - 6 nights

A holistic body & soul experience, amongst ancient architectural wonders surrounded by perennial olive trees, where the eternal Greek Sunlight nourishes your eyes and the sea breeze caresses your skin. An “Athenian Serendipity” week, full of fortunate surprises. With it’s illustrious past, it is only natural for Athens to be one of the most important archaeological sites of the world. The unspeakable energy of the Athenian Land rejuvenates the physical body, elevates the spirit and reveals the stem of all human’s emotions: Happiness.

Re-charge with Yoga & Breathing, discover your self with Impulse Dance and become one with the sea in Floating Body. We will hear philosophers whispering, see myths unfolding, touch intangible heritage, taste glorious food, feel joyful as children, laugh with our hearts, love every single moment, surrounded by myths and miracles. As the ancient Greek philosopher Plato said, recognizing beauty starts from within.

Re-discover body & soul, open your senses and become creative researchers and defenders of our own way of happiness in Athens, the city that amazes the world for 2. 500 years now.

Stunning archaeological sites, unforgettable ruins, inspiring natural vistas, serene urban and rural sanctuaries devoted to ancient gods and goddesses, a beautiful stretch of beaches known as the Athenian Riviera, warm aquamarine blue waters, new secrets and cultural events, gourmet surprises and welcoming people. Yes, it is all about Athens, the capital city of Greece, the “Cradle of Civilization”. And yes, it is about Happiness embraced by the Athenian aura. 

We will share with you the secrets of our own Athenian pathways. Our daily practices of Yoga, Impulse Dance and Floating body, aim to embrace you and allow you to rejuvenate your life, regenerate vital energy, connect with history, enjoy blissful nature, recharge with culture. 

Our daily “serendipity” experiences, lead by attentive specialists, will open your senses to see beauty, to feel happiness. Our two full day excursions will carry you to magnificent monuments and abundant natural wonders. 

We will enjoy mindful walks at The Hill of Muses, sunrise meditations at The Sacred Rock, story telling at The foot of Pnyka, Thermal Healing spa at the Ancient city of hot springs, sunset rituals at The Poseidon Temple. We will smell the heady perfume of jasmine blossoms filling the air at open-air cinemas, discover secret alleys with hidden culinary gems, encounter the most innovative chefs of the town, dining in both upmarket restaurants and century-old taverns, sunbathe in emerald shores swim in unspoiled hidden blue bays. 

If you are looking for a truly meaningful and off the beaten track retreat that nourishes all aspects of your self, join us in this amazing journey to Athens tracing the ancient pathways of happiness!

InnAthens

Our Athenian home is a destination on its own! A new arrival in town, sophisticated, charming, and well hidden in a beautiful arcade, Inn-Athens opened its doors in 2015. Situated in the “heart” of Athens, just across the National Garden and  between Syntagma square and Plaka, the neighborhood of the gods, this neoclassical 100 years old building belonged to a renowned Greek noble family. Greek marble blended with steel give the hotel a “Greek chic” character which is also admired in each of the 20 rooms, each one unique with handpicked and tailor made elements.
