At Retreats in Greece, we understand that everyone starts in a different place. If you're not quite ready to book a retreat, we've carefully selected trusted online wellbeing resources to help you reduce stress, build resilience and take your first steps towards a healthier, more balanced life.
Our Recommendation
Why We Recommend This Programme
At Retreats in Greece, we believe wellbeing is a journey, not a destination.
Some people are ready to book a retreat immediately, while others prefer to begin from home. That's why we've partnered with trusted wellbeing professionals to recommend carefully selected resources that support your personal growth before you're ready to travel.

About Dr. Beba Papakyriakou
Dr. Beba Papakyriakou is a researcher, educator and wellbeing specialist dedicated to helping people better understand stress and its impact on everyday life.
Through years of research and professional experience, she developed the PACO Straws™ Framework to help individuals recognise their own stress patterns and respond with greater awareness and resilience.
Her approach focuses on long-term understanding rather than quick fixes, giving people practical skills they can continue using long after completing the programme.
The Framework
Why This Programme Was Created
Stress affects everyone differently, yet many people only seek support when they reach a point of exhaustion.
The PACO Straws™ Framework was created to help people recognise stress earlier, understand their own responses, and develop practical strategies that encourage healthier habits and lasting wellbeing.
Rather than offering a quick fix, the programme empowers individuals to make meaningful, sustainable changes that can positively influence every aspect of their lives.
