Sappho Women’s Festival 2022 – We’re going to Greece!

We’re beyond excited to announce our partnership with Diva Destinations from the UK to promote and attend the International Sappho Women’s Festival on the Greek Island of Lesvos on September 10-24, 2022. We would love for you attend as well and can promise two weeks of gorgeous beaches, workshops, performances, excellent community, and delicious Greek food!

This International Women’s Festival has been held for over 20 years and is located in the welcoming seaside fishing village of Skala Eressos. Plans are on for a full program of music, evening beach parties, cooking workshops, wellness features, nature walks, yoga, community involvement (I can’t wait to join the Dog Splash from the local animal rescue!), and so much more! The complete program is still being put together, but here is a taste of the 2019 listing and as soon as we have a finalized version for 2022, we will share it here.

Women from around the world come to Skala Eressos, drawn to Lesbos the birthplace of Sappho, the Greek poet who wrote about her love for women. It will be our first time attending and we’re very excited about experiencing all of excitement firsthand as well. 

Diva Destinations is returning for its 5th year to celebrate the festival’s 20th anniversary, but 1 year later. 

Here are the trip details:

Where you’ll stay: On the island of Lesvos, the hosted group will be staying at the gorgeous four-star Aeolian Village Beach Resort. I’m already envisioning myself at the swim-up bar! Or walking down that delicious beach…

During the day there are plenty of festival workshops or walks, plus the daily morning swim to the rock which is always a great social event in the village. Diva Destinations will also be organizing their own group activities during the day including pool games, beach volleyball, local walks and group swims. Once night falls, the village comes alive as the festival showcases one of its fantastic evening performances.
