Good and nutritious food is one of the most important elements of a wellness retreat. Local and international cuisine on-site allows students to eat fresh and healthy meals every day. Coffee, tea, fruit, and snacks are available throughout the day.
Free time:
During our free time, we will experience the magic and charm of Turkey. Alaçatı is a town on Turkey’s Çeşme peninsula on the Aegean Sea. It is famous for its pleasant breeze on the beaches, blue skies, and old stone houses. It’s the perfect place to wander the charming cobblestone streets and visit the local stores. The area is also ideal for water sports enthusiasts, such as surfing, kite surfing, snorkeling, or visiting a nearby island on a day trip by boat. There will also be no shortage of activities for lovers of archaeological and historical sites.
