The magic begins in the little details
A small wellness retreat center in Afrata, north-west Crete
Irit & Motty Davidson
We're a couple deeply passionate about a healthy lifestyle. We exercise daily, cook and eat nutritious food, and take pride in growing our own organic herbs and vegetables. Our commitment to wellness extends to meditation and to keeping a positive mindset, and we bring all of it into the experience we offer our guests.
Irit is a certified yoga teacher and NLP Master Trainer. Motty is a certified Pilates instructor and NLP Master Trainer. Together, we live what we teach.
Our aim is simple: a stay that feels energizing and relaxing at the same time, so you leave refreshed, revitalized, and nourished in body and soul.

Afrata, facing the sea
Afrata is a small, traditional village, surrounded by olive groves and facing the sea. The beach is about 1 km down a winding road. As the crow flies, it's less than 400 meters.
Honestly, photos don't do it justice. What you feel here is space. Wide open land all around you, the sea right in front, birds of prey circling high above. Just before sunrise the rooster starts, then the peacocks and the singing birds, and every now and then a fox calling somewhere in the hills.
Most of our guests tell us the same thing: they breathe differently here, it feels like paradise.
Quiet, and close to everything
The village of Kolymbari, with everything you need, is a 7-minute drive away. On the way, pause by one of the iconic blue benches and soak in the sea views.
For a scenic adventure, take the old road to Chania, about 35 minutes, through villages like Kamisiana, Tavronitis, Maleme, Gerani and Platanias, with tavernas, coffee houses and beaches all along the coast. Or head the other way, to Kissamos, Balos and Elafonissi, famous for their pink sands and crystal-clear water.
