Description

Looking for nature, adventure and cultural immersion? Interested in sustainable living? Explore the rural Greek lifestyle in the small and sublime Island location of Lipsi - virtually undiscovered by tourists and with only 700 inhabitants - an idyllic setting and a rare opportunity for those who appreciate authenticity and want to experience a unique and traditional way of life. The variety of accommodation options offered by this program includes a farm with a vineyard, home-stays with welcoming Greek families and beautiful studio apartments. Wherever you choose to stay, you will be mere minutes away from the island's many picturesque beaches; enjoyment of sea and sun is not mandatory, but advisable! In the next few years the island will produce zero carbon emissions, becoming the first green island in the Mediterranean region - the perfect place to learn to be a positive impact on the environment. With a wide range of courses available, you can tailor your trip to suit your specific interests, be they hiking and rock-climbing; snorkeling and watersports; organic farming, wine-making and gardening; Greek language, cooking, music, even dancing - you'll find professional instruction in all these fields among our friendly and knowledgeable certified teachers.
