Wonderful holiday, so, so glad I went. Great yoga teacher, lovely group, great weather, variety of beaches to visit on the island, with lots of time for independent exploration - really enjoyed heading off on a bike to the different beaches and going for a swim in beautiful sea when we got there
(more)Excellent - I would say the experience that we had was unique in giving us an insight into the local people and customs/history becuase of our host. It has made us want to return to get to know the island more. (more)
It was amazing to wake up in the morning and walk out onto the balcony with its
beautiful view - spent a lot of time just sitting out there! The surrounding area is really lovely. Just down the road is a pretty area with benches overlooking the harbour - nice place to sit at night. (more)
I loved walking out of the house and straight onto a hillside looking down on the turquoise seas from the terraced fields and after a day of wandering return to the welcoming home of Tanja and Vince, with its traditional furnishings alongside Tanja's gorgeous paintings. And the breakfast...to die for!
