Hello April.  Exciting month.  Between the 20th and 23rd we celebrate spring and welcome our guests to our wonderful lemon retreat.  There’s no better way to connect to nature, the sea, revitalize both mind and body than in the company of friends.  Get ready to go on hikes and meditations, head to the beach, savor delicious lemon-inspired recipes, whirl through towns and museums, and meet the beating heart of local life.  We’ll show you the secret, offbeat sides of this majestic Greek island and its thriving community.  In the meantime, let’s all sweeten the season with a recipe for lemon cake!
