Travel & locations

Everything you need to plan the journey · 2–6 December 2026

You book your own flight to Athens. Everything on the ground — the transfer in, the excursion, the transfer back — is arranged for the group and included in the retreat price.

Arrival airport

Athens International Airport “Eleftherios Venizelos” (ATH)
Attiki Odos, Spata 190 04
Greece

Participants arrive individually. From the airport the group travels together in a 16-seat private minibus to the retreat house. Pickup times are set once everyone’s flights are known.

The retreat house

25is Martiou
Antikyra 320 12
Greece

Antikyra is a small harbour town on the Gulf of Corinth, about two hours from Athens airport and half an hour below Delphi. It is the base for all four nights, from 2 to 6 December 2026.

The pilgrimage walk

On the third retreat day the group walks the ancient pilgrimage route from the port of Kirra up to Delphi — the way the sanctuary was approached for centuries, from below.

Starting point

Kirra / Κίρρα — Old Harbour, Medieval Lighthouse
Kirra 332 00, Phocis
Greece

The route

Kirra → olive landscape → Delphi. Approximately 11 to 13 kilometres on foot, climbing gently. It takes most of the morning, with stops.

Destination

Archaeological Site of Delphi
Delfi 330 54
Greece

The sanctuary of Apollo and the Oracle. The minibus collects the group in Delphi after the visit and drives back to Antikyra.

What to bring for the walk

Proper walking shoes that are already broken in, a light rain layer, a water bottle and a hat. December in Phocis is mild in the sun and cool in the shade; the ground can be stony underfoot.

Please wait for the official retreat confirmation before booking non-refundable flights.
