Learn the words, feel the stories, taste the soul of Naxos
Step into the heart of Greek heritage at Katharsis Retreat Naxos — where the stone walls hold centuries of memory, and every corner invites deeper connection.
We welcome you to an unforgettable evening of learning, tasting, and cultural immersion with our Greek Language & History Class, hosted in the historic main hall of our 15th-century residence — and followed by a relaxed gathering on our breathtaking rooftop terrace.
In a warm, intimate setting beneath traditional arches and aged wood, you’ll be guided by a passionate local educator through a 90-minute session that blends:
Learn essential words, poetic expressions, and cultural phrases that reveal the soul of Greek life — all explained in a relaxed, interactive format.
Travel through time as you uncover the roots of Greek identity — from mythological echoes to historical truths and everyday cultural traditions still alive today.
This is not a class — it’s a cultural encounter, ideal for travelers who want to engage, understand, and connect more deeply to Greece.
Feel the history. Speak the language. Taste the island.
Join us at Katharsis for an evening where Greece comes alive — word by word, sip by sip, story by story.
After the class, the experience continues with a sunset gathering on our panoramic terrace, where you’ll enjoy:
A glass of fine local wine
A hand-prepared plateau of Cycladic delicacies, featuring:
Local cheeses & cured meats
Fresh fruits, nuts, olives, and vegetables
Seasonal bites and traditional flavors
All enjoyed as the sky melts into gold over Naxos Old Town and the distant sea.
It’s an evening that engages all your senses — learning, laughter, flavor, and the unforgettable beauty of a Greek sunset.
Get lost in the narrow lanes of Edinburgh – the Scottish capital with a mystical air that combines ancient heritage with the verve of a modern city. Spend your day at leisure delving into its rich history and embracing the warm culture of the Scots, before joining your travel companions and Travel Director for a Welcome Reception with a light meal and drinks.

From check-in to check-out, the experience was flawless. The beds are incredibly comfortable, and the rooftop is like a private cinema for the Aegean. It’s a place that speaks to the heart.

We were drawn to the architecture but stayed for the peace.Katharsis is a sanctuary of beauty and silence. It’s not for everyone —but it’s perfect for those who feel deeply
Hey Mirella,
Thank you for vising

σως το πιο ατμοσφαιρικό κατάλυμα που έχω επισκεφθεί. Η ενέργεια του χώρου είναι ήρεμη, γήινη και αληθινή. Το προσωπικό πολύ φιλόξενο και διακριτικό.

Felt like staying in a museum curated by a poet. Every corner is photo-worthy, yet
nothing feels forced. It’s simple, soulful, and very special. Wish we could’ve stayed longer

Αν θέλεις να μείνεις σε ένα μέρος με χαρακτήρα, Katharsis είναι η επιλογή. Ένιωσα ασφάλεια, ησυχία και άνεση. Ο συνδυασμός αρχιτεκτονικής και τοποθεσίας είναι μοναδικός.

I came to Naxos to disconnect and ended up reconnecting with myself. This hotel had a big part in that. It’s a place to breathe, think, and be surrounded by beauty. Highly recommended.

Καθαρό, ατμοσφαιρικό, ήσυχο —όλα όσα ζητάς για ναξεκουραστείς και να εμπνευστείς. Η αισθητική του χώρου είναι μοναδική. Δεν είναι πολυτέλεια, είναι αυθεντικότητα.

real gem in the heart of Naxos Old Town. The design is minimalist yet full of history, and the rooftop views are unforgettable. We spent every evening there with local wine. Pure magic

We woke up with sunbeams dancing across the old stone walls. It was poetic. Even the bathroom had style! If you’re looking for something intimate and soulful in Naxos, this is the place

Perfect for mindful travelers who appreciate details and design. The silence here is healing. I loved the contrast of ancient stone with contemporary artwork. You leave this place feeling calmer than when you arrived

Η ταράτσα ήταν σαν σκηνικό θεάτρου με το φως του ήλιου να βάφει το Αιγαίο. Η διαμονή μάς ανανέωσε πραγματικά. Δεν είναι ένα απλό ξενοδοχείο —είναι εμπειρία. Ευχαριστούμε την ομάδα του Katharsis.
