Today, people are a generation of rushers. Your normal daily routines often revolve around going through the motions of what needs to get done, and you've been programmed to think that the faster you can get somewhere or do something, the better. Busy being busy. But what happened to just doing things at your own pace?

The Slow Living movement encourages you to be more present, to find joy in the small things in everyday life, and to prioritize what's important to you. It's not about doing everything as slowly as possible; it's about doing everything at the right speed and enjoying the experience of doing it. "Living better rather than faster."
And this last sentence was Konstantinos' inspiration for returning to his beloved island of origins, with the intention to share with the world such a beautiful way of living...
This program is ideal for those who want to have an escape from their routine and be inspired by different life perspectives and new healthy habits. Take time to read your favorite book, laugh, play, and meditate in the garden; practice daily yoga and breathing exercises; walk and admire nature; rest; and spend more quality time with yourself.
Home-cooked food made with love will be waiting for you every day on the common table and your lovely, cozy room will provide you with the necessary private space when you need it. The caring environment of Anandamaya, alongside the highly personalized guidance by the instructors / therapists will allow you to deepen your practice and work on your weaknesses in a unique family environment.
Choose the dates (4,5 or 6 days of stay) and the room that suits you the most and join Anandamaya Retreats in their everyday journey.
See you at the island!
Anandamaya pays special attention to nutrition, as it is an essential part of optimal health, and in addition, eating tasty makes you happy! You will have the chance to enjoy a Greek, Mediterranean, vegetarian, and homemade full-board menu.
Start the day with herbal tea or a coffee accompanied by local, organic nuts to give a boost before your morning practice.
A delicious brunch with a mix of colorful, sweet and salty preparations will wait for you at our peaceful veranda right after our morning yoga session, which will definitely satisfy everyone's appetite.
For lunch, you will go with the option of a light meal where you will enjoy a fresh salad from our very own vegetable garden or delicious, healthy snacks and fruits in case lunchtime finds you in the forest or at the beach!
Dinner time is one of the favorite moments of the day, as everyone gathers all together after a fully satisfying day to relax and enjoy Vasiliki's special creations. The love she puts into those dishes is noticed immediately when they land on the dining table! Combined with the veranda's stunning view and the nature sounds that surround Anandamaya, creates a truly unique dining experience.
The majority of Anandamaya's raw material comes from its vegetable garden or from local farmers and producers that grow biologically, supporting its ethical approach to food emissions.
