Amorgos of the Blue is the fairest of the Geek islands! Truly, one of the most beautiful Greek islands in the Aegean Sea, you'll discover its secret beaches and untouched timelessness. It is one of the most intriguing of all the Greek Islands, turning up surprises wherever you look. Located near Naxos and Ios, on the southern side of the Cyclades, this island amazes visitors with the natural beauty, the traditional architecture and the fabulous beaches. The most famous sight of Amorgos island is the impressive Monastery of Hozoviotissa, constructed on the slopes of a rock with breathtaking view to the sea. A walk in Chora and the other villages of Amorgos Greece will be unforgettable, while hikers will also have the possibility to hike many interesting paths.
According to mythology, Amorgos was the island where Ulysses, returning to Ithaki, was attracted like a magnet by Goddess Kirki, and stayed for many years. Every year since, the same magnetic attraction beguiles wellness and yoga enthusiasts, which flock to the island, attracted by its strong revitalizing energy and the abundance of therapeutic herbs, which makes Amorgos the perfect place for a spiritual and physical uplift.

Please read carefully, This is a hotel on a remote island. Thus, polices and usual practices you might find common in North America or other parts of Europe don't necessarily apply. Travel insurance purchased of your own accord is always strongly recommended for this worthwhile trip.
1. All deposits are required to reserve your spot on this small group retreat. This deposit is final and NON-refundable. The promo code is valid until the end of March 31, 2023.

Cancellation Policy
Please note that there will be no refunds or discounts for arriving late, leaving early, flight cancellations, travel delays or illness.
If you cancel your participation in the retreat for any reason, the cancellation policy will apply, with no exceptions.
I wish I could compensate you all for unforeseen circumstances, but I have incurred expenses that once paid I cannot get back. I strongly encourage you to purchase travel insurance if you have any concerns.
Your initial deposit to reserve your spot is NONREFUNDABLE however, it will go towards a portion of the retreat cost.
Cancellation ~ initiated by participant
Before September 8, 2023, you may cancel your trip and you will only lose the initial non refundable deposit.
Before December 8, 2023, you can request to receive a partial refund. This amount does not include the initial deposit. Your partial refund will depend on they room chosen. If you chose single occupancy, you will be refunded the first payment you made due November 2023.
Important, if you are cancelling and had a roommate- this puts the roommate in the position of finding another to maintain her double occupancy fees (single costs more). If another roommate can be found, then the above refund applies. If not substitute can be found, the difference will be calculated and removed from your partial refund in order that the roommate not incur the fees. (see more about participant substitution below)
After December 8, 2023 there will be no refunds.
*These dates are specified by the retreat center- . I have no control over the policies as per laws applied in Greece.
2. All payments made as per the payment plan are non-refundable going forward for any reason. The nature of the hotel on this island does not permit refunds once payments are made. They also only work with the organizer for payments and will not accept you calling to book directly.
Cancellation ~ Initiated by retreat leader
While I do not anticipate canceling this retreat, IF I must cancel a retreat for any reason, you may request to have your payment transferred to another retreat, or you may request a refund of your payment to me, constituting a full settlement. You will only be refunded what you have paid thus far.
Arlene Moshe is not responsible for your expenses incurred in preparation for any cancelled retreat, such as airline tickets, loss of work, and/or other costs associated with preparing your trip. Again, if you have any concerns, please purchase travel insurance.
Substitution of a participant
Should you wish to have someone replace your spot because you need to cancel:
1. You are solely responsible to continue to pay for the trip in We Travel,
2. provide Arlene, the organizer, with the person's name and contact whom is replacing you and Arlene will advise from there and see if the names may be changed in the We Travel platform.
3. However, you must make your own arrangements to be re-imbursed by the person replacing you and you must honour the payments owed for the trip directly. Should payments be late by you, the original purchaser, this booking (for your replacement) will be forfeited and offered up to someone on the wait list.
4. Given the above, it is strongly recommended to obtain travel insurance. Past participants said they were able to access this easily with a phone call to the insurance company of their choice. Also, given the current atmosphere of airports everywhere, it would be prudent to consider this expense.
Other fees
The fees on this trip listing does NOT include the cost that will be added once the itinerary with activities is set for your trip. For past attendees, this fee was already included in your registration price as Arlene had access to the rates. Again, as soon as 2024 rates for excursions are released, there will be an add on fee for your trip in this listing. To give a rough estimate of what our trips cost in 2019 when booking, it was approximately 190 US per person for 3 incredible excursions. Some trips may be optional and some are included with this package.

There are at 2 main options to explore for travel:
1. Fly to Athens and stay one night or more , catching the ferry the next day. Check the bus schedules or taxi fares from airport to Piraeus port if you are choosing this option. Ferries are 5-7 hours in length so it may be too much to arrive at the airport and immediately board a ferry. There are several sites that provide ferry schedules.
2. Fly to Santorini and take a much shorter ferry ride (approximately 90 minutes to arrive at the Katapola port on Amorgos)
Visit these Ferry Schedules to search different options for ferry travel to the island.
