Taste authentic rural Greek hospitality and village life in one of Greece’s most unseen regions—Thrace. Experience the quiet, simple life in a Greek mountain village untouched by mass tourism. Breathe in crisp mountain air, greet locals with a warm “kalimera,” and sip your morning coffee gazing at blue skies and peaks surrounded by lush natural beauty. During the guided walks included in the retreat, you’ll explore Ano Karyofyto and Kato Karyofyto, the enchanting river that connects the settlements and flowing from Leivaditis waterfall, the stunning stone bridge, and the small chapel of Saint George and the Church of the Dormition church—beautifully painted by Savvas himself. On pleasant days, we’ll enjoy our meals outdoors and practice sketching exercises in nature, making the experience even more special.
