Come and join us on our yoga holiday in Corfu, Greece.
Corfu is a beautiful Island with lush green hills and calm turquoise waters, with hot summers spent relaxing at the beach and cool spring and autumn seasons ideal for hiking and exploring the Island. At any time of year, there is something to do for everyone.
At this time of year, it is around 20 – 26 degrees Celsius and so its nice to spend time doing a ixture of relaxing and being active.
For the active yogi, enjoy a walk along a trail that is quite challenging followed by an afternoon by the pool. Take a boat to Timoni bay and walk up the pass to Afionas for dinner at sunset. There are bikes for use for free at the venue to go to and from the beach or further if desired.
When you arrive, enjoy an orientation walk of the local area and explore the grounds that are also an organic farm, growing specifically Kumquat – as well as seasonal vegetables and olives. The week will follow with beach days, pool days, a cooking class, a trip to explore Corfu town and an afternoon exploring an old village called Afiona that takes you to the iconic bay of Porto Timoni. Your week’s yoga holiday in Corfu can be as active or as relaxed as you like and if you prefer to relax by the pool with a good book then do what your body and mind need.
Our venue for 2024 is brand new and has been designed and built in an eco-conscious way, following the guidelines of Green Key whose criteria ensure the highest standards of sustainability within tourism. This is important to us here at AdventureYogi as we search to find more venues like this. It is also an organic farm and the food that you will eat will be straight from the garden.
Enjoy yoga twice a day in the yoga shala and the day is yours to do as you please.

Beautiful Corfu
Corfu, also known as the Kerkyra in Greek, is a beautiful and lush island located in the Ionian Sea. Renowned for its stunning beaches, clear waters, and picturesque villages, it is the perfect destination for those seeking a rejuvenating and adventurous experience.
The island’s rich heritage is an experience in and of itself, having been ruled by various civilizations over the centuries, including the Byzantines, Venetians, French and British. This has left an unforgettable mark on the island, with a fascinating blend of architectural style and cultural traditions.
In addition to practicing yoga in Corfu, explore the vast beaches, from the sandy shores of Glyfada to the pebbled coves of Agios Stefanos. Stroll through the dark green olive groves in the valleys or the rugged pine and cypress forested mountainsides.
