The energy of Agios Georgios
Many guests say they feel a special energy in this unassuming, quiet settlement of Agios Georgios on the southern tip of Antiparos. This feeling is shared by people of all ages, nationalities, cultural backgrounds and spiritual beliefs.
Even if this sounds a bit ‘metaphysical’ it is quite real, and is actually not a new discovery at all; this little bay has been a safe haven from the elements since antiquity, owing to its extremely privileged location and landscape.
Nestled between Antiparos and Despotiko, the shallow bay of Agios Georgios was the last safe port before the long crossing south towards Crete - another great cultural and trade powerhouse of those time.
Ancient seafarers found refuge here, to repair their boats and sails, to rest and to pay tribute to their gods for safe passage.
Fast forward to today, Agios Georgios remains an ideal place to find refuge, to restore and repair the body and the soul alike.
An ideal place to retreat
Our unique location on the top of the hill, with the nearest neighbouring buildings hundreds of meters away, offers our guests even greater privacy and serenity than the surrounding area, and allows them to connect with the space outside as well as the space within
For this reason, we have been lucky to have hosted retreats since our very first year of operation and are continuously adapting and evolving our offering, driven by our guests and their feedback.
We are committed to developing this type of activity even more. Rather than just providing accommodation, we wish to partner with organizers and help with all aspects of a retreat - from logistics, catering, activities and experiences planning.
