Sun-drenched Silver Island is a place where you can unwind and become one with nature and your own inner self. Covered in fragrant pine and olive trees, the private islet that is just off the coast of Evia is a yoga retreat that is largely the result of work by the goodwill of strangers and an army of volunteers.

The island consists of 60 acres of gently rolling hills, small idyllic coves, ancient old olive groves, cypress trees and wild flowers and there are glorious views everywhere you turn. The retreat accommodates up to 10 guests in five rooms.

Owned by Greek-South African sisters Lissa and Claire Christie, the island is a dream of a lifetime creation that was the result of toil and belief. Situated just a few miles from the mainland, the private island has been owned by the Christie family for 50 years.

The island has no water or electricity and uses a generator and solar power. Being off the grid, the island offers guests the chance to have a digital detox.
