This was my THIRD retreat with DDY and it was MAGICAL. The venue was amazing, the excursions were fun and paced out well, there was also plenty of time to relax and do things independently, and it was the most beautiful setting I'd ever done yoga in. I'll remember the friends I made forever and definitely feel like I left a piece of my heart there <3 Also, Shelley is a phenomenal host and is a wealth of knowledge in yoga and international travel- she makes you feel confident and supported for sure.

The trip was very well curated with good balance of activity and leisure. The only thing that was missing was a visit to a goat farm…Maybe next time🤷🏽‍♀️? Amorgos is lovely island, that is only mildly tricky to get to, but serene once you’re there. I highly recommend taking to opportunity to join Shelley on her next Gretian adventure. When you’re there…definitely indulge in some extra Amorgian cheese on the Greek salads.

How did I forget the goat farm? Noted-- and adding to the next Greece itinerary! We are excited to see you in DR on your next adventure, Jovi!

Where do I begin?! This trip was a trip of a lifetime. The hotel was fabulous. The tours where we did were unforgettable. The Greek people everywhere were so kind and helpful. DDY did a fantastic job setting everything up. And when booking the travel to get there Shelly was right there to help anyone with questions on what to do and where to stay. Numerous people even stayed longer on different islands and Athens and Shelly offered suggestions for where to stay and things to do at other places. Traveling with DDY has given me the confidence to travel all other the world. Thanks DDY!

Amorgos was lovely. I would go back to the Greek Islands with a different company and leader.
By Kristin R for My Big Fat Greek Yoga Retreat on Oct 21, 2024
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed the beauty of Amorgos. We understand that travel can come with its challenges, and we always encourage our guests to plan ahead to avoid any disruptions. Unfortunately, missing the ferry meant you arrived a day late, which can be tough on any trip. We always strive to create a supportive environment, and it’s essential for everyone to engage fully in the experience. We appreciate your past participation and wish you the best in your future endeavors. Safe travels!

Another stellar trip with DDY Travels! Shelly is always tracking down the ultimate in local & cool. We loved being "off the beating path" at this fabulous Villa outside Aquapendente. The owners' passion for their property and the Italian way of life was intoxicating. As per usual, the mix of people on the retreat was wonderful. Everything was easy and taken care of as far as transport, planning of excursions and meals. If you want a trip to just kick back and let the wonderful come your way...DDY Retreats is for you!

I was fortunate enough to complete my YTT at the Dominican Tree House Village in El Valle, Samana. I am so thankful for Shelley and being able to share my yoga story. Shelley is a woman of many virtues but my favorite is her being able to hold space for diverse populations in yoga (BIPOC/LGBTQIA+). I was supported during my learning journey, and encouraged throughout my training to continue to create space for other individuals like myself. Our training was well organized, detail oriented, knowledgeable, and a healthy balance between learning, resting, and adventure! I was paired with the best roommate and suite mates ever! I am terrified of being in the jungle but knowing I was there with three other women, made it so worth while. Finally, Emma made the most amazing Dominican cuisine for us daily and the Tree House Staff were so hospitable. I would absolutely go on another training/retreat with Shelley and the crew!

What an amazing trip! This was my second DDY retreat and I will be back for more! The resort was beautiful, with a yoga Shala that looked out over the ocean and has a jungle backdrop! And on top of that, the food was amazing! The variety of both included and optional activities where amazing, in addition to the twice daily yoga. My personal favs were the sound healing, and the Mayan clay ceremony. The fellow retreaters where also amazing and really made it a trip to remember! Can’t wait for the next retreat!
