Yoga Retreat with Anna Ashby
Urania Villas, Lefkada, Greece
17 – 24 June, 2023
Urania Villas hold spectacular views of the Ionian Sea nestled high up on a hill amongst the olive trees. The view of the mythical island of Ithaca in the distance inspires reflection and the peaceful environment and stunning panorama of the sea invites rest and relaxation. The stone villas are beautifully designed with a modern and luxurious feel each one having their own kitchen and living area.
Located 3km away up on the hill overlooking Ponti-Vassiliki village, a popular wind-surfing destination, makes the Villas one of the most peaceful spots on the island of Lefkada. Here, you will hear rustling leaves and birdsong and experience the joy of stillness and space. There is also access to a beautiful private beach from the villas, it's a steep hike about 20-30 minutes' walk each way, but worth the exercise!
