During the retreat, we will visit the famous Monastery of Hozoviotissa, tucked into the mountainside, and take a moment of silence on the steps leading up to it. This retreat is all about simple island living. You will take a hike from our hotel to the nearby villages of Tholaria and Langada and soak in the peaceful pace of everyday life.
