Yoga Retreat in Edipsos, Evia
Edipsos
A shelter of peace and well-being with natural healing qualities
This winter retreat is taking place in cute little town of Edipsos, situated in Northern Evia. Edipsos is famous for its thermal springs that heal and rejuvenate ever since Antiquity. Hippocrates and Aristotle visited the springs and wrote about their benefits and the rare microclimate they create. The sea is always warm and the sun shines 300 days a year, tempting visitors for a dive even in winter. According to mythology, the precious water flowed for the very first time when Hephaestus beat the land with his hammer. It was a favor to goddess Athena, who believed that the thermal springs would keep Hercules healthy and powerful.
Edipsos is a place blessed by nature, a natural treasure, a shelter of peace and well-being with unique healing qualities, thanks to his natural thermal springs with high temperature (from 28 to 86 degrees Celsius) which are one of the richest mineral waters invaluable ingredients throughout the world for centuries. They are laden with a range of different metals, minerals and elements that work wonders due to their high concentration, including Radon which is incredibly beneficial in stimulating the immune system. Other high quality elements are calcium, potassium, iron, lithium, magnesium, and sodium. What is particularly salient to mention is the magnesium to calcium ratio at 1:4 which constitutes the ideal combination for body absorption.
Nature has also chipped in for a rare combined experience where the warm water gushes from the sea bed, a rare phenomenon that is difficult to find anywhere else in the world. Relaxing and rejuvenating bathing in hot waters of thermal springs combined with swimming in the winter sea with beneficial effects of the contrast temperatures gives an amazing revitalizing effect to the body and general well-being.
You are welcome to join us in Edipsos from November till April, when the weather is ideal for hiking in the lush mountain forests and waterfalls, nurturing yourself in the hot thermal waters, and enjoying the tranquility of the place offseason and a splendid scenery of rich vegetation that meets the blue-green sea. The amazing combination of mountain and sea gives unlimited possibilities for walks overlooking the endless blue and discover areas with lush vegetation, intoxicating aromas, and beautiful landscapes.
