A slow-paced recovery retreat. It starts with a work day in Athens, stops in Nafplio on the way, and settles on Elafonisos, an island off the southern Peloponnese known for its turquoise water, dune beaches and picturesque port. Guests stay in private villas with local fresh food, wellness and light work sessions, and leave recharged.
Focus: Disconnect & Recharge
Key point: the Lock Box, where all phones and digital equipment are kept safe so the team can truly detach! (optional)
