Our third YS Retreat took us to our furthest destination yet- Paros, Greece! Like Costa Rica and Belize, our trip to Paros required international and domestic flights! This time, we stayed overnight in Athens in order to take in some sights and gather our amazing group! Nothing could have prepared us for the crystal blue beauty of the Aegean Sea, or the whitewashed simplicity of the Paros architecture. This retreat was both relaxing AND very adventurous, as many of our retreat-goers jetted around the island on scooters and 4-wheelers, exploring every last inch of the amazing, mountainous terrain. We experienced both intense winds and fiery heat, and the beauty of the sea and the mountains. We practiced twice daily, indulged in healthy vegetarian fare at the retreat center, and also explored the towns for local cuisine. Greece was absolutely STUNNING!
