Astypalaia: The Mermaid of the Castle
There, where time stopped passing and the earth ceased to turn; there, where the essence makes you feel that you truly exist.
Astypalaia—no matter how many times I encounter it, the same thought remains: what a beautiful island, straight out of a fairy tale. The years pass, and although this island evolves, it retains its character—a character that is quiet, harmonious, and balanced. Its clear, cool waters and the beautiful atmosphere at all hours of the day make you want to renew your appointment for next year.
Our thematic practices accompanied us every day, morning and evening, as we surrendered our bodies and souls to a flow with a single intention: our well-being, inside and out.

This journey was my first attempt at something like this. Astypalaia, for me, was more than just a destination. It was an embrace of calm, a reconnection with myself, and deep gratitude. Thank you for the breaths, the smiles, and the silence that spoke volumes—and for everything I felt without words. I leave lighter, more grounded, and more “me,” until next time!!! With love!! — D.X.
The Sun that stroked the “Star-Gate” of the Aegean every day; the Breeze that passes through the alleys and cools the Chora; both together caressing the people who live there, making them serene and hospitable, but also the visitors who become better people—carefree and healthy. Grateful to you, Fotini, for taking care of our bodies and spirits. Grateful to you, Petros, for taking care of our material and emotional world with incredible passion. Always together—Fotini and Petros, Petros and Fotini—healthy, strong, and loving!!! — D.A.
The aura of the island, the positive energy of the people, and the yoga practice. With a view of the Aegean blue, the scents of nature, and the warm touch of the sun—these were the highlights of this retreat for us! Fotini, I thank you for the peace, serenity, and sweetness I feel in my heart, but also for unblocking my body! Petros, thank you for the flawless organization of the trip! We are grateful for this experience! We wish you every good thing! Until we meet again! P.S. By the next retreat, we will have “earned” one more member [referring to a pregnancy]. — K.Z. & G.M.
