Unspoilt West Crete with its beautiful countryside, olive trees, mountain peaks and quiet beaches

Situated at Mithimna,  close to the sea which is shallow and perfect for swimming.

 

Location: We are situated at the western end of Crete, which is much less developed for the holiday-maker than the areas towards the other end of the island.

  

Our holiday prices include tuition, accommodation in comfortable en-suite rooms and taxi transfer from Chania Airport.

For food there's breakfast each day and a dinner one evening. Inner Discovery holidays (holidays without yoga) also have lunch at the Mill, after the all morning class. Scroll through the list of holidays below and click on the links to find out more about each holiday

On most of our holidays optional guided walks in the unspoilt countryside of this side of the island are also offered.

These cover a wide variety of terrain from rocky mountainsides rich with herbs and other plant life to beautiful sandy or stony beaches and also take in local places of interest.  

Walks are generally two to three hours in length, not strenuous, and give you a real flavour of the area. They usually end in one of the many hospitable tavernas.

If you intend to walk please bring shoes with a good tread and heel support.

About our yoga venues and accommodation:

• Mithimna is a small seaside village. The area is rural and the setting quite intimate, with activities by the beach. Accommodation at Mithimna is based around Mousses Apartments and Studios.  These have cooking facilities and are in well kept gardens and views of the sea and mountains just two minutes walk from the beach

Food and Special Diets

We include breakfast each day and lunch after each morning session on non-yoga holidays, so you can retain an atmosphere conducive to further discussion. As yoga  classes are done on an empty stomach we instead include a late morning brunch style breakfast after the morning yoga class on weeks that include yoga.

There's also one evening meal in the week and we help you choose from the excellent tavernas in the area for other meals.

All food is vegetarian, either home made or local specialities. Juliet is often asked for recipes!
Special diets are provided for at the same standard of quality and variety. If you want, we'll give you Greek words to help you make choices in tavernas.

Bring Non-Participating Friends and Family
We welcome friends and family wanting to holiday with you. You may wish to stay at the venue but at accommodation of your choice maybe a family room. We can help you make a suitable choice.
