Equine Theraphy

The first record of equine therapy dates to Hippocrates, an ancient Greek physician considered to be the “father of medicine.” He documented riding horses as a means to treat people with incurable diseases. In more recent times, the practice has evolved.

Let the food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food

Taking inspiration from the ancient Greek word for ‘Earth’ (Γαία), our Chef serves pure, authentic food aligned with the energy of the mineral-packed soil of Mount Olympus. Offering a blend of regionally inspired contemporary Greek or plant-based dishes, the emphasis here is on simplicity, healthy living, and full flavor.

We’ve nurtured a relationship with local farmers, producers, and winemakers, who we know by name, to create a menu that uses the best of local, seasonal, and organic produce. Some are also grown in our vegetable and herb garden.

Inspiration Derived From Greek Tradition

For breakfast enjoy the likes of homemade granola with thyme honey and Greek yoghurt, or maybe you’d like to try our sweet potato and apple fritters, served with tahini and molasses.

Lunches and dinners include the likes of fresh soups and salads, as well as super light and mediterranean dishes. Fragrant herbs, antioxidant-packed spices, and essential nutrients all help to aid digestion and boost your metabolism. Extra-virgin olive oil, like salt, is added to finish a dish so that its nutritional properties are fully retained.

With panoramic views of the valley, and the Aegean Sea, tables are arranged to encourage our students to share their day’s experience, although privacy is entirely possible, too. you’re here to enjoy yourself.

Snacks, drinks, and refreshments are available throughout the day.
