OTHER ACTIVITIES
Included free if you register by November 1, 2023
Dance holds a special place in the traditions of Amorgos island. All year long, there are many opportunities for local people -men and women- to wear their traditional costumes and dance until dawn, to the sound of the lute and violin. A convivial dinner is often the occasion of spontaneous dances, such as Kitsos or syrtos… Learn the steps, take part in the festivities and discover the art of living. Life Fit retreat attendees will enjoy Greek dancing as a dinnertime experience on the last evening of our stay!
Greek cooking
The Aegean islands produce an exceptional variety of products noted for their combination of flavor, quality, and uniqueness. The core of Amorgian cuisine lies mainly in the wide variety of seasonal vegetables, fruits and dairy products. Its Mediterranean character adds the feature of health and balance to its dishes, making them delicious yet simple. Most products used at Ambrosia Gallery Restaurant recipes, such as tomatoes, aubergines, peppers etc, come from organic gardens on the property. Life Fit retreat attendees will enjoy choosing a menu to cook and enjoy from start to finish.
