  • Getting to Corfu

    Corfu International Airport "Ioannis Kapodistrias" (CFU) is about 2–3 km from Corfu Town, so most guests fly in directly — either from Athens (roughly 1 hour) or via a direct international flight, both common in season.

    From the airport into Corfu Town / your accommodation:

    • Taxi (metered, daytime): roughly €35–45.

    • Taxi (night, midnight–5am): €55–60, under the legal night surcharge

    • Blue City Bus
      — Duration: Approximately 15–20 minutes
      — Cost: Around €1.10–1.70 per person

    If coming from Italy, direct ferries also run to Corfu from Brindisi, Bari, and Ancona, with crossing times from about 6 hours (Brindisi) up to 15+ hours (Ancona), mainly in the summer season.

    Retreat check-in begins after 15:00 PM on the arrival day, and check-out is before 10:00 PM on the departure day.

  • If you are spending some time in Athens before or after your Chios visit, we wanted to give you our Athenian Guide. We would be more than happy to help you if you need any other recommendations about Athens.

  • Our home offers a range of amenities to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Stay connected with Wi-Fi and prepare your favourite meals in our fully equipped kitchen. Relax in the cosy living area with a projector and streaming services, or unwind on the outdoor patio. We provide fresh linens, toiletries, towels, and beach towels for your convenience.

  • This journey is a wonderful group experience, bringing together diverse individuals for a memorable time. While we strive to engage with each guest personally, it’s important to embrace the unique dynamics of our group, which means we may not always cater to every individual preference. We encourage you to be open-minded and welcoming, to meet new friends, enjoy a little time alone if you wish, and explore new foods and practices. Let’s navigate this adventure with emotional maturity, being aware of our feelings and those of others. Remember, there’s no one-size-fits-all in experiences like these; life may not always unfold as we hope, but these moments can lead to positive growth and valuable lessons rather than disappointment.


  • Corfu has a warm Mediterranean climate during the retreat season, with sunny days, dry weather, and cooler evenings. Daytime temperatures are usually between 24–32°C (75–90°F), while evenings can feel breezy, especially near the sea.
