FAQ
-
Don’t worry! This isn't a bootcamp with a sea view. Every Starlike class is designed to meet your current skills and how you feel on a given day. Plus the small group size allows me to give you individual attention.
-
Yes, almost everyone who has attended my retreats before has come solo — it’s the perfect space to meet new inspiring women and make friendships for life!
-
Of course, our private chef will adapt the menu to your needs. Please let me know beforehand what you need.
-
This girls’ trip is a perfect, soft introduction to solo travel! It’s all organised without me micromanaging you. Many women who joined my past retreats solo travelled there for the first time and absolutely loved it.
-
To secure your spot you only need the £600 deposit.
The rest is due next year, 15th of January 2027.
-
Our meeting spot in Lavrio port in Athens on April 25th around 1pm. I recommend you fly to Athens airport ATH and take a taxi from there.
Once I have everyone’s details, I will connect you with fellow attendees in case you want to meet earlier to share the taxi.
-
Each farmhouse comes with two twin beds and is shared between 2 women. I get to know each one of you a bit before the retreat to pair you up well.
In the farmhouse you have a private veranda/terrace space, ensuite bathroom as well as an indoor and outdoor shower. You get locally designed robes, beach towels, hairdryer, full bathroom amenities and air-con.
-
I understand plans change, so I highly recommend getting a travel insurance that includes cancellation coverage due to unforeseen circumstances.
Your £600 deposit is non-refundable.
After 15/01/27 the full retreat fee is non-refundable as the entire experience including meals, activities and stay are paid for in advance. However, if you can’t come I will try my hardest to fill your spot. If it gets booked, I will refund you the retreat fee (minus the deposit). The more time you give me to try fill your spot, the more likely I will be able to do it.
