Summer Events

Bringing together somatic practices, meditation, and intuitive movement, this session reconnects guests with their internal landscapes. By understanding the emotional imprints held within different organs and body parts, participants learn to decode their body’s signals and release stored tension.

In a world dominated by overthinking, the art of embodiment is a radical act. Two workshops in July invite guests to reestablish a profound connection with their physical and emotional selves, guided by Alexandra Vranopoulou, a distinguished embodiment facilitator and healer.  Alexandra is a seasoned embodiment facilitator, healer, and founder of The Journeys of Remembering. With a profound understanding of the interconnectedness of the physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies, she guides individuals on transformative journeys of self-discovery and healing.

Led by Alexandra, this workshop fuses meditation with creative expression. Participants will channel their inner world through painting, music, poetry, dance, or photography—an invitation to externalize emotions through art.

We are excited to welcome our guest sound therapist, Manolis Zografakis, who will guide you through sacred sounds on an inner journey to reconnect and rediscover yourself, bringing you back to a natural state of balance and harmony.

Initially, Manolis will guide you into a short, gentle, guided meditation to come closer to your inner senses, before drifting off to the healing sounds of the various instruments.

We are excited to welcome our guest sound therapist, Manolis Zografakis. This experience is gentle yet powerful, deeply immersive, and meditative, offering a full-body listening session where you are “bathed” in therapeutic sound waves.

Manolis will start by guiding you through a short, gentle breathing exercise to help you connect with your inner senses. This will be followed by using your own voice to balance and energize your energy centers. Next, you’ll experience a deeply relaxing sound bath as you lie back and take in the soothing vibrations of various sound therapy instruments.

Our Bostani – the on-site vegetable and herb garden, tended to by an in-house team, produces seasonal crops that include eggplants, onions, tomatoes and peppers, amongst other vegetables, fruits, local greens and herbs, all destined for the intimate garden dinners that are hosted by our Chef Lefteris Iliadis. The menu is inspired by Crete’s local flavors and aromas, and pays tribute to all-time-classic family recipes.

Savor the native wines, influenced by the island’s richness and embody the lighthearted nature of this Cretan idyll. The native grape varietals of Crete are introduced and promoted through special wine appreciation events. Also, as part of the Futouris project for Sustainable Viticulture, we assist regional winemakers who engage in sustainable farming. Join us on one of these evenings to learn more about the Plyto, Dafni, Vilana, Mandilari, and Kotsifali kinds that are the most recognizable in Crete. Savor them with mouthwatering local cheeses like Tirozouli, Anthotiros, Xynomizithra, Mizithra, and Gruyere for a culinary experience that immerses you in the flavors and fragrances of Crete.

A premium quality olive oil can be appreciated just as much as a glass of fine wine due to its rising appeal among food enthusiasts. All you need is the ideal location to taste it. Have a distinguished Cretan Olive Oil Experience to fully appreciate the richness and complexity of olive oil made in Crete. Olive oil tasting events have been planned by Crete Malia Park in conjunction with Kritsa village’s Agricultural Cooperative’s olive oil producers.
