Wellbeing Retreat: 18th - 22nd May

Location

Plaka Beach, Naxos
Nestled on the serene southwest coast of Naxos, Plaka Beach is a haven of tranquility. Golden sands stretch endlessly beside the crystal-clear Aegean Sea, far from the bustle of tourist crowds. This peaceful paradise flows at a slower pace, inviting deep relaxation and reflection.

Plaka’s natural beauty and quiet charm make it an ideal destination for a reading retreat. Picture yourself beneath the shade of a tamarisk tree, toes in warm sand, book in hand, with the gentle lull of the sea as your soundtrack. With stunning sunsets, cozy beachfront cafés, and a laid-back rhythm, Plaka Beach invites you to slow down, unwind, and lose yourself in the pages of a great story
