Some beautiful memories from a very special shoot in Crete… 🇬🇷✨
A few years ago, I had the pleasure of being filmed for the French travel documentary Échappées belles, sharing one of my favourite places in Crete: the spectacular Aradena Gorge.
Wild landscapes, long days of shooting, laughter, adventure — and that unmistakable feeling of being somewhere truly magical. 🏔️☀️
Looking back at these pictures, I’m reminded of how special those days were, and how wonderful it felt to share a little of my Crete — its landscapes, its paths, its stories and its energy — with the French audience.
🎬 The programme is “Échappées belles – Grèce : le miracle crétois” (2021), and you can find it on YouTube by searching the title. The Aradena sequence features me, Valérie Bader, and the hiking excursions I was organising there at the time. ❤️
And Aradena? It remains one of my absolute favourite places in Crete. There is something about its wildness, silence and extraordinary beauty that never fails to move me.
And the beautiful thing is that you can still discover this magical landscape with me today — through our mindful excursion Aradena - The path of Essence, and our 8-day Yoga & Walk retreat, where we combine walking, yoga, nature, wellbeing and the deep connection that Crete inspires. 🌿🧘♀️🥾
Some places stay with you long after you’ve left them… and some are worth returning to, again and again. 💙
