Are you looking forward to your 2023 Retreat?

I know we are very excited to be welcoming you...

Here in Kos and most of Greece, we are currently in the midst of our olive harvest... 

Unquestionably, Greece produces the best olives in the world. In fact, Greece is the top producer of edible olives. Greek Olives are an important part of Greek cuisine and Greek culture. Olives are found in Greek salad and in countless other Greek dishes. And of course, Greece produces many litres of olive oil, which goes in pretty much every Greek dish.

Why are olives so good for us?

And why does this make Greece the perfect place for a Fitness & Wellness Retreat...

• Olive oil has a high content of monounsaturated fats; studies have shown that replacing saturated fats with monounsaturated fats, can lower the risk of coronary heart disease.
• It is proven that olive oil helps reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and increases good cholesterol (HDL).
• Olive oil is very high in oleic acid, which helps reduce blood pressure and contains several antioxidants such as vitamin E, carotenoids, and oleuropein.
• There are studies which prove, unlike other cooking oils, olive oil keeps its natural state when heated at high temperatures, making it healthy even when cooked with.
• The fresher the olive oil is, the better it tastes. After about a year, it's best to use the oil for cooking, while keeping the fresher oil for dressing salads and other cold uses. - therefore, being in Greece guarantees you are getting the best stuff there is.

Fun Fact: Each Greek person consumes an average of 26 litres of olive oil a year!
