Two weeks – One seriously fabulous ADVENTURE
25 September – 9 October 2027.
This one is going to be pretty special!
We’re taking yoga off the mat (and very definitely out of the lounge room!) for an incredible two-week jenbarronyoga ADVENTURE through Greece and Turkey – sailing the Greek Islands, swimming in ridiculously blue water, exploring tiny island villages, eating amazing food, practising yoga in some unforgettable places and finishing amongst the extraordinary landscapes of Cappadocia for a hot air balloon ride at sunrise.
And, as always, this isn’t a yoga retreat where you spend your days quietly contemplating life. This is an ADVENTURE!
Corfu & the Greek Islands
We begin on the beautiful island of Corfu, where we’ll board our yacht(s)* and settle into life at sea.
For the next six days, our home is the boat, with our days shaped by the wind, the weather and those gorgeous places that simply look too good to sail past. I’ve deliberately chosen the calmer waters of the Ionian Sea in northern Greece for this ADVENTURE – perfect for relaxed sailing, spectacular swimming, snorkelling and discovering beautiful little islands and hidden bays along the way.
Dinner is an ADVENTURE too! Each evening we’ll head ashore and find somewhere local to eat – think little Greek tavernas, waterfront restaurants, fabulous food and local wine. Where we eat depends on where we drop anchor that day, and that’s half the fun.
We’ll let the conditions guide us, but if you’d like a sneak peek at where we might be heading, you can check out the proposed sailing route here: Othonoi, Erikoussa & Corfu suggested sailing route
There will be opportunities to move, stretch and practise yoga each day – sometimes on the boat, sometimes on a beach, sometimes somewhere completely unexpected.
We return to Corfu and spend our final night aboard before saying goodbye to our floating home.
From Corfu, we’ll fly to Athens for a short overnight stay. Athens is really our stepping stone to the next part of the ADVENTURE rather than a destination in itself, so there won’t be loads of time for sightseeing. Depending on our flight times, though, we might just manage to squeeze in a little taste of this incredible city before we’re off again the next morning!
Kalymnos
Next we’re island hopping again.
We’ll fly from Athens to Kos and jump aboard the ferry to Kalymnos – a rugged little Greek island known for its dramatic mountains, gorgeous water and traditional villages.
We’ve got a couple of days here to explore, swim, eat, wander and see what we discover. No rushing. No ticking off tourist attractions. Just time to be there.
And then things get interesting…
We’re going from a tiny Greek island to one of the most extraordinary landscapes on earth. And getting there is an ADVENTURE in itself!
Kalymnos → ferry to Kos → ferry across the border to Bodrum, Turkey → airport → Istanbul → Cappadocia.
Yes. All in one day.
Cappadocia
Then we wake up in Cappadocia.
We’ll stay amongst its famous cave hotels, fairy chimneys and other-worldly landscapes, with the opportunity to experience one of those absolute bucket-list moments – floating above Cappadocia in a hot-air balloon at sunrise.
Yoga somewhere amongst all of THAT? Absolutely.
Istanbul
Our final stop is Istanbul, where Europe meets Asia. With a hot minute to soak up the colour, food, history, markets, mosques and beautiful chaos of this incredible city before going your own way – home or otherwise.

Investment
$12,500(ish)
What’s with the ‘ish’?
I’ve included an allowance for all of our internal flights and travel within the ADVENTURE. Of course, flight prices have a habit of doing their own thing! If the actual fares are higher than I’ve budgeted when it comes time to book, there may be a small additional amount to pay.
Securing Your Place
A $2,500 deposit is required to secure your place.
Here’s how the yacht bookings will work:
- The first 6 people to book are guaranteed a place on the first yacht.
- We then need 8 additional bookings to secure a second yacht. If you are in this group, your place will be confirmed once we reach those 8 bookings. If we don’t reach 8 bookings then your deposit will be fully refunded.
- I recommend getting your deposit in early if you really want to be part of this one!
A Very Important Note About Accommodation!
All places are based on double accommodation throughout the ADVENTURE. That means you’ll be sharing a room/cabin and a bed with another person – I just want to be VERY clear about that before you sign up!
You might like to bring a friend or someone you already know you’d be happy sharing a bed with – otherwise, we’ll work out the room sharing amongst the group. If you’d prefer your own accommodation, you’re very welcome to purchase two places.
What’s Included
Your investment includes:
- All accommodation throughout the ADVENTURE
- All activities mentioned in the itinerary
- Internal flights, ferries, transfers and other travel mentioned in the itinerary (subject to the –ish explained above!)
- Tips for our sailing crew
What’s Not Included
You’ll need to budget separately for:
- Your travel to Corfu at the beginning of the ADVENTURE
- Your travel post Istanbul
- Dinner each evening during the sailing portion
- All meals outside of the sailing ADVENTURE
- Tips outside of the sailing ADVENTURE
- Personal expenses, drinks, shopping and anything else you decide you simply can’t leave Greece or Turkey without!
Basically – get yourself to Corfu, and I’ll take it from there. At the other end, I’ll leave you in Istanbul to find your way home! 🇬🇷⛵🧘♀️🎈🇹🇷
This ADVENTURE is for you if…
- You love yoga – but you also love actually doing stuff.
- You don’t mind that every day won’t go exactly according to plan.
- You can live happily on a yacht for a week.
- You’ll try local food.
- You’ll get on ferries, planes and probably the occasional questionable transfer.
- You’ll practise yoga somewhere breathtaking.
- You’ll laugh when plans change.
- And you’ll come home with stories.

Before we go a quick PS:
Not able to join for the whole adventure? No problem! If you’re most excited about Week 1 (sailing) or Week 2 (Kalymnos + Cappadocia), you’re welcome to join us for just one part of the trip. Get in touch if you’re interested and we can chat through what that could look like! ⛵🏝️🎈
