Can you tell us about you and the philosophy behind your wellness retreat?
At Breathe the Blue, our philosophy is deeply rooted in the belief that true wellness comes from reconnecting with nature, nourishing the body and mind, and providing a space for personal growth and relaxation. We offer retreats designed to provide an escape from daily stress, enabling guests to reconnect with their inner selves while surrounded by the beautiful landscapes of Greece. Our goal is to create a holistic experience where wellness is a practice and a way of life.
What inspired you to start this retreat?
Our inspiration came from a love for nature, a passion for wellness, and a desire to help people achieve peace and well-being. After years of working in various industries, including tourism, psychology, and education, we saw the need for a space where individuals could find balance, healing, and rejuvenation. The beauty of Greece, especially the tranquil environments of Pelion and Kefalonia, as well as Mykonos and Santorini, provided the perfect backdrop for creating a retreat that harmonizes natural beauty with wellness practices.

What sets Breathe the Blue apart is the variety and depth of our offerings. In addition to yoga and meditation classes, we provide energy healing sessions, cooking classes with local organic ingredients, and boat excursions that explore the stunning Greek coast. Our focus on healthy, locally sourced food is another distinguishing feature, as every meal is crafted to support well-being. We also offer personalized wellness plans that cater to the specific needs of each guest, ensuring a bespoke retreat experience.
