Alternative Holistic Holiday In Greece

Posted on by

Holistic Greek seaside holidays in the beautiful unspoilt foothills of verdant Mt Pelion with delicious vegetarian food.

I discovered Kalikalos at the back of a book on Burn Out – it was a time in my life where I wasn’t sure about anything any more and I was looking for a place where I could renew my energy and get inspired again.

Kalikalos Horefto Beach

There was a picture of a wonderful beach on the Kalikalos website, and what’s more, they were offering a variety of workshops, including one that seemed just made for me: “Living your truth” and “Overcoming Fear”.

 

It was the best workshop I ever took (including Landmark and Anthony Robbins). An extra bonus was the raw food workshop, on at the same time. The food was always mouthwatering, made with the freshest ingredients, often from our own garden, by us.

Yes, everybody who comes to Kalikalos gets involved in cooking, gardening, washing up and other tasks that need to be done. There is a team of staff volunteers, who work a couple of hours every morning and every evening, and all the guests, workshop participants and leaders help with 5 shifts (cooking, washing up, gardening) during their stay. This is mostly great fun – the motto being: if it’s not fun, it can’t be done!

The days are quite structured and go like this:

8:30 breakfast
9:30 (for staff volunteers) staff meeting and then work or (for participants) workshop begins
1:30pm lunch, or take a lunch box to the beach
Beach time till 6pm
6pm -8:15pm work shifts (kitchen, garden) and free time for who is not on a shift
8:30 dinner
11pm silence at Kalikalos

Who is not in that mood yet can enjoy the rest of the evening with a glass of wine, some cake and new friends under the huge platanas in one of the lovely café/bars in the village of Kissos.

Kalikalos is a great place to go on your own and meet new friends.
It’s also a great place for single parents during family fortnight in August.
It’s a great place if you want a holiday with a difference, where you can learn new skills, especially community building skills.

It’s not ideal if you just want peace and quiet. Being in community 24/7 can be intense. It’s mostly fun, but people go through a lot of processes, especially if they are participating in a workshop.

Workshop

But not all workshops are deep and transformative, there is also walking, singing and dancing (this is not to say that those cannot be transformative, but in a lighter way).

And having said it’s not ideal if you just want peace, here’s a disclaimer: you can find peace, as I and many others have, by using the spare time to walk off into nature, and get refreshed and nourished by the crystal clear Aegean sea.

The Pelion is a very special mountain. Chiron the healer has resided here. The healing energy of this place is instantly tangible. One thing is for sure: this place will steal your heart. But not before it will have healed your heart.

The Photo Gallery showing the workshops and activities is on the Kalikalos website.

The Seychelles isn’t expensive any longer

Seychelles

 

 

 

 

 

Bed & Breakfasts and self caterings have been springing up in the past few years so it’s no longer just a millionaire’s playground of private beaches.

The beautiful resorts are becoming more accessible as airlines from the Gulf have launched frequent, well priced services out of Dubai and Qater.

How long will it be before budget airlines fly from Europe to the Seychelles?

Hi there … this is Cliff and I’d like to tell you how we can help promote your travel, tourism or activities business.

In traveljunkies, we have around 20,000 visitors and more than 50,000 page views every month and we count when someone clicks on a link to take them to a client’s website.

These visitors aren’t casual browsers but are specifically searching for holidays, activities, accommodation and other travel & tourism information. They have gone beyond casual browsing and are hot prospects for our clients.

Many of our clients have a free listing which entitles them to a 15 word description containing keywords to help visitors find their advert.

Oh yes!  traveljunkies is a search engine that works very much like Google, so the more relevant keywords an advert contains, the more likely it is to be found.

But how far do people go to find what they are looking for?
Like a Google search, if an advert is not near the top of the page the chances of it being found reduces considerably.

Q:  Why has this advert had 4214 referrals?

A: No, it’s not because it links to our website, it’s because it appears at the top of the page, above all the free listings, and as it contains the words people search for, it’s found every time any word in it is searched.

And having a picture in the advert definitely helps. (“a picture says a thousand words”).

Q:  What does your advert like this cost?

A:  We will create it for free and charge just US$97 to run the advert for a year in traveljunkies.

We have more than 10 years experience creating adverts and a keyword rich advert for your business that will appear at the top of the page and produce a huge increase in visitors to your website.

So, if you want to grow the traffic to your website you can get started here.

With very best wishes
