Looking for unforgettable things to do in Greece for couples? Consider attending Esther Perel’s relationship retreat on the romantic island of Paros.
When couples think of things to do in Greece, it’s easy to imagine the classics – 🌅 sunsets in Santorini, ⛵️ island-hopping in the Aegean, or 🍷 candlelit dinners by the sea.
But for partners looking to do more than relax, for those seeking reconnection, emotional renewal, and deeper intimacy, there’s an experience this October that goes far beyond the typical romantic getaway.
From October 8–12, 2025, the serene and sun-drenched island of Paros 🇬🇷 will host a unique 6-day Erotic Intelligence retreat led by world-renowned psychotherapist Esther Perel.
Known for her transformative MasterClass on Relational Intelligence, Esther is inviting couples to explore what it means to love with intention, communicate with clarity, and reignite desire in one of Greece’s most peaceful and soul-stirring destinations.
💘 Why Paros?
Tucked between Naxos and Mykonos, Paros is one of Greece’s hidden gems. With its whitewashed Cycladic villages 🏛️, turquoise beaches 🏖️, and olive groves rolling down to the sea 🌿, it offers the perfect blend of romance and tranquility.
Unlike its more tourist-heavy neighbors, Paros exudes a slower, more soulful rhythm, making it an ideal backdrop for meaningful reflection and intimate connection.
💫 A Retreat Designed for Renewal
Hosted at the Parīlio Hotel 🏨, a luxury boutique retreat known for its minimalist elegance and calming design, the experience is limited to fewer than 100 participants.
The retreat blends daily therapeutic sessions with Esther Perel, Paul Browde, and Benjamin Fry, along with guided workshops and thought-provoking conversations around relationships, desire, communication, and self-awareness.
Each day is designed to help couples:
💬 Communicate more authentically
💞 Rediscover emotional and physical intimacy
🧘♀️ Reflect both individually and as a couple
🍽️ Share nourishing meals in a communal, romantic setting
🌅 Enjoy quiet moments in nature and the gentle pace of island life
