What makes you… YOU?

What is guiding your YOU?

And what you do when your YOU is a bit lost?

We gathered all our experience and souls into launching a very special series of Wellbeing Mindfulness Retreats in Greece. To create a healing time and place. To help lost souls be found. To help self guidance for inner peace.

In the most beautiful islands of all. In the most wonderful countries of all. 

Lefkada Island, Ionian Islands, Greece.

It all takes place in a hidden, green environment that we created especially for healing practices. Welcome to our second home, welcome to Apanema Mindfulness Resort.

Tai Chi, Qigong, Tibetan Taoist Yoga Guided Sessions

 

7 nights and 8 days in the so-so-beautiful Lefkada Island, Ionian Islands, Greece. 

Guided mindfulness practice – 2 sessions per day. 

Free time for just relaxing or activities.

All in the privacy of our intimate complex of 4 villas. Hidden in the arms of the abundant nature, in between the hills and mountains of our island.

The retreats we propose will accommodate boutique small groups up to 10 people. 

Except the hot summer months, one-week mindfulness retreats are organised every 5-6 weeks. 

Upon request, we can also organise retreats for ready formed private groups from 8 to 16 people. We need to know of such requests at least a month prior.

This is where you Stay

  • Accommodation in one of our 4 villas from our private resort, Apanema Mindfulness Resort in Lefkada, especially created and designed for wellbeing retreats in Greece.

  • There are 3 identical one-floor villas. Peaceful Villa, Wellness Villa and Wellbeing Villa. Each has one bedroom with a double bed that sleeps 2, and a living room with a sofa bed that sleeps 2. One bathroom with access via the bedroom.

  • And then there is a 4th villa, with three-floors. This is Villa Zen. With a private bedroom with a double bed and ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom sleeps 2-4 people, also with ensuite bathroom. The living-dining-kitchen is shared by the two bedrooms.

Single or shared accommodation in villa?

We know many times people come alone to retreats. It is mostly a very personal experience.

We are trying to keep costs  at a minimum. But we are also flexible and know people have different needs, especially when it comes to privacy.

And so… depending on your budget and needs, you can have a villa all for yourself, or you can share it, and so, reduce the costs.

If you would like to share a villa, you can bring a friend, or a loved one, and even your family. They may or may not participate in the retreat. Even if they don’t want to be in the retreat, they still get to be in our relaxed environment and see and feel our magical island of Lefkada. It will still be quite a revelational trip for them.

The costs of the villas are fixed. The accommodation would split accordingly to the number of people, respecting the maximum capacity.

All villas and exteriors come with free Starlink WiFi with ultra-fast speed and excellent coverage.

These are the people guiding You

The retreats at Apanema Mindfulness Resort are being organised and guided by the ones that imagined this place. 

Anat and Zvika are the founders and owners of Apanema Mindfulness Resort, and they will be your mindfulness spiritual guides. 

They are flying every 5-6 weeks to Lefkada for their own practice and to feel close to the kindly abundant nature here. As long as there are other people interested in reconnecting with themselves, they are happy to share this experience in the form of the retreats.

Here is a little bit about the guides.

Anat

I’m practicing yoga for about 15 years.

When people hear that I’m doing yoga, they often ask me… “What is Yoga for YOU?”

For me… Yoga is… the unity of everything. Tao, God, cosmos, universe, but more than all – the yoga in me is the freedom that …

Zvika

“In Autumn of 2013, I returned from China, three months in a Taoist monastery in WUDANG Mountains, a school for Tai Chi Qi Gong – 12 hours of training a day, 3 months on air, water, rice and vegetables…”

This is Our Proposal for Meals

Breakfast

Breakfast can be anything you want, as it not included in the retreat package. We tried that but there were too many preferences and we thought it’s better for everyone to have freedom of choice.

The bakery close by is a nice option with many homemade products for breakfast. 

The large supermarkets provide a vast variety for all preferences. All villas are equipped with everything you need in the kitchen for self catering.

Breakfast is NOT included with your retreat package.

Lunch

We will go together at the local supermarkets to see everything available that you can buy and serve at home.

Our kitchens are completely equipped for cooking at the villas.

Lunch is NOT included with the retreat package.

Dinner

We would like to propose that we all go out at least 3 of the evenings and enjoy locally made food at the tavernas nearby. This way, you can enjoy something of your choosing from the menu.

In the other nights, it is up to each of you how to arrange dinner. Some might want to stay in the villas and cook, as this is also a meditative process for many. 

Some might want to go out and try more local tavernas.

Dinner is NOT included with the retreat package.

The facilities of Apanema Mindfulness Resort Lefkada

The facilities of the resort are for the guests of our 4 villas only. Free Swimming pool, sauna. Practice studio, free to use for our guests. Massage sessions in the massage hut (for a fee). Zen garden for practicing yoga or other mindfulness techniques.

All our place has Starlink WiFi internet, with excellent coverage inside-out. It is the fastest internet we could get to solve the problem of slow internet in Lefkada. We are very happy to share the download speeds of up to 300 Mbps and upload speed of 30 Mbps.

Netflix and new TVs are coming real soon.

For a complete image of our resort’s facilities please visit the gallery page.

SWIMMING POOL

Large 70 sqm pool, 1.8 m largest depth.

The baby pool has a height of 65 cm (the rounded side in the images).

The swimming pool is heated up to 21 degrees between October and May.

Free to use for our guests.

SWEDISH SAUNA

Our outdoors sauna by the pool is free to use for our guests. It is an excellent way to relax in colder days in autumn, winter and spring.

MASSAGE HUT

Guests can ask for a massage in the Massage Hut, Zen Garden or at the Villa. There is a fee paid directly to the therapist for each type of massage.

PRACTICE STUDIO

Glass pavilion with yoga mats for mindfulness practices. Free to use for Apanema Mindfulness Villas guests.

Yoga sessions can be booked in advance for a fee with our Yoga Instructor.

ZEN GARDEN

In the ZEN garden there is a deck for practicing Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Pilates – any mindfulness training you choose to perform – either in complete solitude, or with assistance of an Apanema Mindfulness instructor.

Free to use for our guests.

PRIVACY

Our 4 villas resort is surrounded by abundant nature, green trees, olive grove and vine yards. There are no other buildings around. This is nature's merit, but still, a great facility for our place.

Activities proposed

There will be enough free time for the participants to choose what they want to do with it. We have a few suggestions, but everyone is free to choose. Some are included with the retreat package and some are optional and paid extra, directly to the provider.

Time by the Swimming pool

Our swimming pool is open 365 days per year. During colder days in Lefkada, the swimming pool is heated up to 21 degrees celsius via eco-friendly heat pumps and a pool cover that needs to be taken aside when the pool is in use.

Our goal is to get the pool closer to the desired temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, but we will take this new venture on for 2026. If all we are doing this year proves not to be sufficient, we will add solar panels in 2026.

There is a small pool for children and a large one for adults and they are next to each other, together with sunbeds and umbrellas. Beach towels are provided.

The pool is private for the guests of our 4 villas in our gated and fenced location.

Sauna

The sauna is next to the swimming pool and it is FREE to use for Apanema Mindfulness Villas guests. 

It has been brought here to be used especially during colder days. Enjoy, it’s very relaxing for the body and mind.

Massage

Massages need to be scheduled with one of our trusted therapists. We have Chris from Lefkada Wellbeing and his wonderful relaxing techniques.

We have Elli, a very nice lady, who offers thai massage, focusing mostly on body stretching.

Free practice Studio

Everyone staying at our villas is welcome to use our Practice Studio in between sessions, when there is free time for activities. 

It has been designed especially for colder days, with glass walls, harnessing the power of the Sun and creating a warm cosy effect.

Hiking

Walking is good for you. Walking in a 100% natural and safe place, evergreen, all year round… is even better. There are many hiking paths you can choose from our accommodation.

Antonio, our friend from Karia organises small hiking trips, so let us know and we can arrange something like this if there are at least 4 of you.

Biking & Island Tours

You can either rent an e-bike, go on a guided or self-guided biking tour with our friends from Lefkada e-Bike Adventures, or you can go on a biking or other type of tour with our friends from Lefkada Tours.

Our island has a ridiculous amount of roads that connect all the small villages. It is truly a marvellous place for biking, with a scenery that is so unusual to the eyes, that it is anything else than boring.

Also 100% safe. But you should know… it is not flat 🙂 Lefkada is a mountain & hills island. That is why it is so-so-beautiful.

Sea Fun: Paddle boarding Kayak & even Floating Docks

Take them to the beach and enjoy your time while playing around with these simple water sports.

When you’re finished Aqua Sups will come and collect it, Hassle free!

They also organise guided tours to the church island, Agios Nikolaos / Angelos Sikelianos Island.

You’re in for some serious fun.

Other activities

GOING TO THE BEACH

Lefkada's beaches are so beautiful it is almost even impossible to describe in words. You just need to be there and feel...

COOKING WORKSHOP

We may arrange a cooking workshop with a local chef if that is something interesting for at leat 4 people in the group.

This is NOT included with your retreat booking.

Lefkada Island. What makes it So Special?

Spoiler alert! You'll want to move here.

Lefkada is (luckily) still the lesser known gem of the Ionian Islands. 

No ferry. None of all that fuss. Lefkada skips the drama of ports schedules and ticket lines. This “island” is connected by the mainland with a floating bridge straight to paradise. 

Old Venetian charm in Lefkada Town, where tiny streets meet waterfront cafes with hundred of boats… just laying around. 

Everywhere in town, locals sip coffee like a national sport, and the vibe is inviting: “Why rush?”. 

Beaches so unreal, they almost feel fake

Porto Katsiki Beach, with its massive cliffs, seems like Zeus himself had a hand in it. Egremni stretches so far, you’ll wonder if it has an end. If you get curageous to climb down the many stairs… 

And Kathisma? It’s not just a beach; it’s a party, complete with cocktails and paragliders. The sand here doesn’t just stick—it stays in your heart..  for ever. The crystal clear waters will try to hypnotise you. Let it. It’s just nature showing off. To your own benefit.

Sailing, mountain, villages, paragliding, paddle boarding, kayak-ing, wind surfing, kyte surfing, day boat trips. And many more really… come and see.

Lefkada in Autumn, Winter and Spring

Something completely different.

So quiet you won’t believe it. 

It all seems like your own private island. 

Tourists only herd here from late June to beginning of September.

Outside of these dates… everything around is… pure magic.

Empty beaches, silent taverns, people not running from one place to another, just doing regular out-of-season jobs, like picking olives and taking care about their families.

Come. If you are living in a big city, coming here will feel like a big-big breath of fresh air.

Our location on the Island

Asprogerakata Village

Our 4 villas stand unwinded in a little village called Asprogerakata.

In the North side of the island and 15 minutes drive away from Lefkada Town, the capital of Lefkada.

Asprogerakata whispers tranquility. A mountain village is wrapped in olive groves and cypress trees. The bakery? A dream, with bread fresh from the oven and pastries kissed by tradition.

Just 10 minutes away, Karya, the most traditional village of all, hums with life. Sip coffee under the very old plane trees. Or try out the local tavernas in Karya. They are among the best on the island. Go madly shopping through the tiny shops filled with Lefkada’s famous traditional embroidery. The Folklore Museum tells stories you’ll want to hear.

Beaches are pretty close too. Agios Nikitas sparkles just 15 minutes away, with not only a cute beach, but also lovely tavernas and bars. Kathisma Beach, with its wild-wild waves and golden sands, is just 20 minutes down the road (by car). Pefkoulia Beach, even closer. Much more wild.

Our Guests Reviews

Reviews from older retreats

Kate Poole
Kate Poole
I spent a wonderful and transformative week with Zvika and Anat, the owners of Apanema Mindfulness , on one of their Mindfulness Qi Gong & Tai Chi Retreats . We practised a combination of QiGong, TaiChi and other bodywork each morning at the resort as the sun rose, and each evening at sunset, sometimes at the beach, which was a magical experience . The rest of the day was free to explore, rest and relax . I returned to England feeling relaxed recharged and more flexible Anat and Zvika are completely authentic and passionate in their vision for Apanema … a place of deep healing, spirituality joy and transformation . As well as offering a very high quality holiday experience for families couples and individuals, the Apanema resort in its entirety would make a great base for small groups looking to run a retreat … work colleagues looking for a team retreat, existing Tai Chi or yoga classes, teachers looking to offer a perfect getaway for their clients …writing, art or drama groups … it makes a perfect base and the whole place can be booked . Groups of 8-12 would work perfectly !

When myself and my daughter Francesca booked for a week at Apanema Mindfulness, we had no idea what to expect. What we didn’t expect was magic. This is a place where time holds its breath — where light pours like honey across the hills, and the landscape speaks in a quiet language you didn’t realise you’d forgotten how to hear. Here, energy doesn’t come from caffeine or chaos, but from the hush between cicada songs, from the swoop of swifts above from the pool, from the sun rising through the olive groves. But what truly transformed our staywas Zvika — not just the owner, but the quiet conductor of something deeper. Through his guidance and presence, I stepped into the stillness of Tai Chi beneath open skies, where movement became meditation and silence sang. He didn’t simply host us. He allowed space — space to feel, space to rest, space to awaken. At Apanema, I didn’t just recharge. I returned to myself.
Linda Sommer
A wonderful retreat with warm hosts, close to nature and the sea. We had a wonderful stay at Apanema Mindfulness & Spa and were able to relax wonderfully. The atmosphere on the lovingly designed property is calm, mindful, and perfect for recharging your batteries. A very special highlight are the hosts: Zvika and Anat – both incredibly warm, competent, and passionate about their work. Zvika, an expert in Tai Chi and Qi Gong, and Anat, an experienced art therapist, create a trusting and loving atmosphere. We really enjoyed the morning meditations and the introduction to the art of Tai Chi and Qi Gong. The sessions in the Zen garden or under the pergola were simply magical and deeply grounded us. The surroundings also invite you to linger: you can observe birds, horses, and cats, take in the flora, and marvel at the rich natural surroundings on the beautiful property. And the beach is just a short drive away – ideal for a relaxing day trip. A massage with Chris, the experienced therapist who comes to the resort upon request, rounds out the stay. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the wonderful time and will definitely be back!

I had the luck to spend 8 days at this beautiful place . It is a real jam located at the best side of the Lefkada Island -only 7 minutes from the center of Agios Nikitas and still feels isolated from the summer’s crowd . I’ve stayed at a beautiful Vila that’s got all the amenities including very fast WiFi and internet for the ones who need to work during their stay . It is an ideal place for retreats since it is surrounded with a beautiful gardens and a zen garden full with butterflies and birds and a also got a swimming pool , sauna and a place for a practice if needed . It is a win win both in winter time and summer time . I will definitely come back 👌🦋🌺

Travelling one month through Greece, I was wondering if I maybe should include a place with some meditation. In the end I decided not to, at least not in an organised way, but the search had led me to find Apanema. And what a find that was. I rented a bungalow for three nights, and as it worked out I had the whole property to myself. The very friendly caretaker popped in every morning for a chat and to answer any questions, for the rest it was just me. I would just sit at my terrace with a coffee or a glass of wine and enjoy the beautiful green hills around, or I would jump into the sauna and cool off in the heated pool. This really was a wonderful place to have a rest stop halfway my travelling. Also practical: the kitchen has all you need to make some meals, I love that if I travel a bit longer. Not to mention the washing machine, even soap was there. Finally, next doors lives Chris (search for Lefkada wellbeing) who comes to Apenema to give excellent massages, definitely recommended.

The island of Greece is usually visited in the summer, I came in the winter and although... and maybe because... I really enjoyed the silence, the peace that the place provides, the stone houses in the surrounding greenery, the pastoral people. Tzvika and Anat, the owners of the place, explained that the name Apanema means a small bay and that's how I felt that it is also Apanema - the place that allows you to go inside, the complex has a pleasant and inviting Zen garden for meditation ♀️ 🧘🏻 and a transparent room for practicing meditation, qigong yoga and the like. Every morning we practiced qigong under Zvika's guidance, there is also a pool and some went into its water even though it was winter and cold, and could go out and warm up in the hot sauna. The room is cozy and in the winter the fireplace was heated and it was very cozy and the bed was especially comfortable. In the town there is a recommended chocolate that Anat introduced me to and local cookies seasoned with spices, every day we cooked fresh food, there is everything you need in the room, an oven and a stove and a refrigerator and olive oil 🫒excellent local, and there is also an excellent restaurant When you arrive, ask Mozbek for her name. I highly recommend the magical place of Tzvika and Anat and next time I will examine its virtues in the summer too 😉☀️😎 Go and enjoy

Staying at Apanema was an extraordinary experience from what is usual in Greece, it is a magical place immersed in wild nature, surrounded by olive trees, fig trees, vines, and a natural forest that exists in Greece, the place blends so well with nature that you can hardly notice it at first glance. We got a 3-story house, fully equipped, very clean, with balconies on all sides, with everything you can think of that you need in an apartment. The place has a pool and a ZEN garden, and you can't explain the peace that the hosts made sure you feel from the first moment. We were a couple with 3 children who just didn't want to go... The place has a pool that is adjacent to a ZEN garden with a waterfall, you can do yoga there in the morning or just soak up the peace and nature. There is a sauna (which we did not use) and a yoga practice room and additional cabins. We had the opportunity to meet the hosts, Tzvika and Anat, who live the place and create the special atmosphere in the place, Tzvika is a yoga and tai chi teacher and Anat is an emotional therapist so you can feel the special atmosphere they bring with them and that prevails in the place. The place is a total of 15 minutes from the center of the old town of Lefkada so you can be in the heart of things easily if you have a car (in my opinion a must in Lefkada). We will definitely be back, I highly recommend it .

What an amazing place!!! So glad I came to this paradise! A lovely, quiet and pastoral place... everything has been thought of here. I was able to recharge my batteries and connect to a silence that I have never experienced anywhere else. To start the morning in the special Zen garden, to practice Qigong with Zvika, the owner of the place, whom I really recommend you get to know... a very special person. Swim in the amazing pool, which is surrounded by amazing expanses of magical nature, and everything is so close to everywhere... to the amazing beaches, the main cities, and taverns with wonderful food. The place is amazingly managed, clean, cozy and tidy. One of the most wonderful places I have visited. Thank you for an outstanding experience. ‎

Transport to Lefkada

Three ways of getting to Lefkada

Lefkada is the only big island that is not isolated from the mainland. This means you don’t need a ferry to arrive to Lefkada. As you drive on the mainland, there is a floating bridge that connects the island. It is free of cost and it is crossable all the time except 10 minutes each hour, when boats need to cross.

You can drive to Lefkada, or fly to Preveza, Ioannina or Athens. 

If you need to fly to Preveza,  Ioannina or Athens, you will then need to rent a car and drive to Lefkada. If you are travelling solo, please let us know and we will do our best to connect you with other participants that may have similar arrival hours, this way perhaps you could share the costs for renting a car.

We wish keeping costs down, but we know car rental for solo travellers can raise costs.

The way we see it, ideally you would find a friend or two, or a family member to join you in Lefkada. Even if they don’t participate in the retreat, they will also have a nice experience here and you will be together in between the sessions.

The prices for renting a car from Athens or Preveza Airports are around 60-70 euros/day in the summer and 30-50 euros/day during the rest of the year.

DRIVING TO LEFKADA

If you are from Europe, especially Eastern Europe you can drive your own car to Lefkada. The trip length varies on where you are coming from.

You can check this Google Maps link to estimate how long this trip could take. You might need a sleep over somewhere on the road if the entire trip is longer than 12 hours.

FLYING TO ATHENS

This option of finding flights to Athens is useful all year long and prices are usually fair, especially if you book in time.

From Athens International Airport "Eleftherios Venizelos" (ATH) there are 389 km until Apanema Mindfulness. Here are the driving directions on Google Maps.

This trip is mostly on highway toll roads. Some kilometres close to Lefkada are in the last phase of construction, as the road is being enlarged.

The total duration of this road trip is 3.5 - 4 hours at the moment (without stops, depending on your driving speed).

The total cost of the trip from Athens Airport to Apanema Mindfulness in Lefkada is 37.2 euros (one way). This amount includes the highway tolls and the Rio Antirio bridge of Patras. It does not include gas or other expenses.

FLYING TO PREVEZA

The closest Airport to Lefkada is in Preveza and it is called Preveza International Airport (PVK).

It is a smaller airport and usually stays open between May and late October.

If you can find flights here for your trip to Lefkada, it would be the easier and fastest option, as Apanema Mindfulness is just 32 km away, a 40-minutes car trip.

Here are the driving instructions from PVK International Airport to our Resort.

There are many car-hire companies there at the airport so, ideally you would rent a car from there and keep it during your stay.

FLYING TO IOANNINA

Another option is to fly to Ioannina and rent a car from there. It is a drive of around 2 hours until Lefkada.

Here are the driving instructions from IOA to our Resort.

There are car-hire companies there at the airport so, ideally you would rent a car from there and keep it during your stay.

Pricing

We are trying to make these retreats as affordable and as flexible as possible. This is a very important thing for us.

Some like travelling solo for retreats in Greece. Some in couples. And some bring a friend, or someone they know. Some have children, others don’t.

Due to the nature of our resort, we believe we can accommodate most type of travellers. 

The pricing is related to the accommodation you choose and the privacy you need. This is why the shared packages cost less.

When we refer to the Small Villas, these are the three small villas in our resort Peaceful, Wellness and Wellbeing

The Large Villa is our Villa Zen.

External accommodation in the nearby villas are also option just in case our 4 villas are already fully booked. This villa is a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom villa, very close to our resort, just a few minutes walking.

Pricing includes accommodation, retreat classes, sauna and pool. 

It does not include transportation, meals or activities.

What are the costs for being in a retreat in Lefkada Islands, Greece?

Each retreat at Apanema Mindfulness is priced according to the season.

Thus, the winter months retreats have the lowest prices, then they gradually increase (but not a lot) with spring and autumn. We also have a June retreat proposal if there are requests for this.

Even so, the prices we made are very affordable. Please check the desired month by tapping on its name:
