PILATES WITHIN – Turkey


Come for a breath of fresh air!

Turkey’s turquoise Aegean cost has some of the best (air that is)! Spring is acoming in March and frankly, it’s one of my favorite seasons to see Alacati, the picturesque village where Anja Kursawe and Mareile Paley will host you for a very special retreat week. Every day we will dive together into the beauty of movement and experience the connections between Pilates, Yoga and what lies within. We will also taste Turkey’s fresh produce (lots of cheeses, fruit and seasonal vegetables) and have time to explore cobblestoned alleys and narrow streets lined with cafes and art galleries. Come for a feel-good week full of laughter and holistic healthy living. Yoga on the beach? Let’s do it!

 

Included in the price:

  • 6 nights accommodation
  • daily healthy and sumtuous Turkish breakfast
  • one-on-one assessment / private session with Mareile or Anja
  • daily Pilates & Yoga classes and workshops
  • Shiatsu workshop
  • selected authentic, healthy dinners in our favorite restaurants throughout Alacati

One location – so much inspiration!

Alacati was a sleepy backwater until the gusty bays nearby were discovered by windsurfers in the 1990s. Today, Alacati’s old Greek houses and cobblestone streets are well preserved and attract romantics, eccentrics as well as Turkey’s high society. In the high season (July/August) artsy boutiques and Turkish cafes line the alleys and the many nearby beaches invite to linger for a summer cocktail. Come in the off-season and you will discover an authentic village full of charm, enjoy the nature and unspoiled coastline.

 

For this retreat we have teamed up with the charming Zeytin Konak Otel bringing the true charm and lifestyle of the Aegean to you. For the details, see the pricing section.

 

Alacati is located on the Cesme peninsula and just a stone-throw away from the Greek island of Chios – a possible day-trip excursion during your stay. The closest airport is Izmir.

 

 

Central, cosy and personal.

Managed by Turkey’s windsurf champion Ertugrul Icingir and his wife, an Alacati favourite of ours is the Zeytin Konak Otel with it’s friendly staff, clean and cosy rooms spread over several, artfully restored traditional stone houses and its two swimming pools in a grassy lawn. They have a range of accommodation options ranging from cosy single rooms to apartments great for sharing with friends. Each room has it’s own style and charm.
