Hotel George epitomizes the Greek village experience, located peacefully on the sea in the port of the quaint fishing village of Ancient Epidavros. The ambience of George's is not to be underestimated. Unspoiled and away from mass tourism, George's sits next to a bay of morning sunrises, afternoon sail boats lazily making their way to shore and evening magenta colored sunsets which can be viewed against the backdrop of the sleeping volcano of Methana. Here you can lose yourself on a nearby beach, excavate your way through ancient ruins or explore the quaint village and its colorful inhabitants. Hotel George provides a peaceful setting for yoga and meditation with culture and activities only a stone's throw away.

The Mangelis Family has owned and operated George's for generations, and they have an acclaimed reputation for the finest seaside and Greek vegetarian cuisine in the village. Each meal is made with fresh ingredients and is born from the Mediterranean traditions, which balance the body, mind and soul. If you happen to be interested in culture and history then monuments of world heritage are steps away.

Hotel George is a beautiful blend of serenity, retreat and Greek culture that is sure to inspire and rejuvenate. With its unique blend of resources, it is the perfect location for introspective retreats or explorative and adventurous retreats.

The yoga shala located on the rooftop of the hotel, offers gorgeous views of the sea below. The space can be open to the warm breezes off the ocean, or protected from the elements with transparent closures as to not obstruct the extraordinary views. Buoys bobbing quietly below and the chime of the church bells lure in a meditative connection between local elements and spirituality. The newly constructed shala easily accommodates up to 40 yogis making George's this location the perfect place for week-long retreats or month long teacher trainings or workshops.

Accessibility to the sea, to Athens and to many of Greece's most important ancient sites including the Theatres and Asclepion of Epidaurus, Mycenae, Tyrinth, Corinth, Argos, Nemea and the Palamidi of Nafplion, make Hotel George a very special place to hold a retreat.
