8-Day Yoga and Wellness Escape in Crete, Greece

Light Love and Yoga Crete sits in the village of Plaka, in the Apokoronas region of Chania, a short walk from the sea and a few minutes' drive from the long sandy beach at Almyrida. The villa is set in a garden with three terraces, sunbeds, hammocks, and a small library of books on yoga and healing. There's no traffic noise and no mass tourism — just greenery, mountain views, and the sounds of nature. The daily rhythm is simple: six mornings a week of asana practice, five afternoons of meditation, and two days a week of longer workshops. Saturdays are completely free, with no scheduled activities, so you can sleep in, take a trip to Balos beach, or just sit with a book. Patricia, who trained in Ashtanga Vinyasa Flow, Yin Yoga, and trauma-informed yoga, leads most of the teaching, while Angelo brings his background in traditional Mysore Ashtanga. They're both deeply invested in creating a space where guests feel looked after, whether that means adjusting a pose, recommending a taverna, or just being good company at dinner. The retreat runs from April to November, and you can stay for a week or longer if you want to go deeper.
