Sunrise pilates or yoga and more fitness classes or take the rest of the day at leisure

Are you an early riser? If you like early mornings, you will love Day 4’s Sunrise pilates/yoga class… what an invigorating way to start the day! There are a selection of fitness classes to choose from throughout the day, delicious breakfast and evening meal together. There is also an opportunity to go and do some local exploring on your bike if you wish – Ask Gilly for some route recommendations.

 

 

 

Hike

Another early start if you wish – we want to start the hike before it gets too hot. So breakfast is highly recommended and then we will jump in the organised transport to begin our hike to one of the highest points on the island to experience the incredible views. The hike is a moderate level, and for those of you who enjoy a trail run, you can set off ahead, along the trail, don’t worry it’s reasonably well signposted. We will return to base in the afternoon  and during the evening there will be a selection of fitness classes available.

Free day for the activity day of your choice

We are not waking up too early today, there will be breakfast and a fitness class to start the day and then it’s time to get on the way if you have booked an optional activity for today.

Today is a free day, but on your arrival day Gilly will have given you lots of options in case you want to branch out, do something different  or try something new.

So you may have booked one of the optional activities at a small extra cost, with Gilly at the beginning of the week.

The options include horse riding at sunset which means the rest of the day is yours. Or you may have chosen to do some SUP Yoga, which means you will be taken to one of the beaches in the south of the island  at the incredible village of Kefalos. You may want to learn something new, such as  taking a  beginners windsurfing lesson, or if you are a seasoned windsurfer,  rental of the equipment can be arranged; Kos is famous of windsurfing. Or if you feel you have done enough exercise and a bit of pampering is in order, that’s where the traditional hammam comes in. There are several packages available to choose from at this traditional turkish bath, and you could decide to spend an hour or the whole day there. Or you may decide that you want to have total r&r, in which case we can recommend lovely local beaches for you to enjoy.

This is also a great opportunity to shop for those last minute gifts to take home.
