The Mythos Retreat takes place at the Urania Villas in Lefkada, exclusive and private just to retreat guests.

A tranquil setting for yoga overlooking the Ionian Sea, their retreat guests will experience a destination exclusive to them with a personal hike down to the beach where you will discover your own private beach of Ammoudi bordered by iconic white cliffs.

Experience a place of absolute harmony and relaxation. Built following a dream to enjoy nature’s silence – Urania villas sit softly within the green mountains; viewing the end of heaven.

The story of this place goes back to 1920 when their grandfather farmed these lands with grapes, olive trees, and few animals. Despite the harsh conditions of that age, locals never lost hope and passion to make it a better place. Since 2007, they share this beloved space with the same passion and dedication.

The tranquil setting of the place has made Urania Villas a distinguished destination for yoga retreats
Villas feature 3 en-suite bedrooms, private cliffside swimming pools, fully equipped private kitchens, fireplaces, AC, fast Wi-Fi, and either jacuzzi bathtub or shower
Private access to the Ammoudi exclusive beach, a habitat for dolphins and seals
Enclosed, fully-equipped shala for daily yoga

1 Certificate Show Hide

Having studied in the Kripalu yoga lineage, I embrace Swami Kripalu’s guiding statement, “the highest form of spiritual practice is self observation without judgement.” I carried that statement in my mind as I explored temples in India, learned from healers in Thailand, met earth medicine in Peru and more. My mission became stewarding self-observation for others; inviting compassionate discovery and mindful connection to our inner authority, and in turn to our ability to positively affect our community and our world.

Retreat location

Lefkada Island once was known as Ithaca, fabled home of Odysseus. Today, it is a sparkling gem in the Ionian Sea full of history and unique culture. It boasts some of the world’s most beautiful blue beaches as well as ancient villages and dreamy waterfalls.

Sanctuary to Apollo

Lefkada gets its name - which in Greek means “whiteness”- from the white rocks of the Lefkata cape in the southern end of the island
It's here where Apollo advised Aphrodite to jump off the cliff into the sea, in order to abolish her love for Adonis
Legend also has it that the white rocks of the cape were a favorite resting place for the king of the Gods of Olympus, Zeus
Also known as the Caribbean of Greece, the Ionian island of Lefkada is the nearest one to the western side of the Greek mainland!

It is one of the most popular Ionian destinations, full of amazing beaches with turquoise waters, monasteries, museums, and seafront or mountainous villages with a unique charm.

Ammoudi beach

The Ammoudi exclusive beach belongs to the environmental protection network Nature 2000, because it is a habitat for dolphins and seals. It is a completely private, low-to-zero people location and can be accessed only through our property or via a boat.

The beach is covered with small white pebbles and bits of sand. The crystal blue and turquoise waters will blow your mind.
