Mykonos Retreat

Athina Mpouri, born & raised in Thessaloniki, a Greek city known for its rich history and famous food scene. There, she also completed her initial studies in Aristotle University, and it was not before 2007 where she met Athanasios, her husband and moved to Mykonos, his home island. In 2013, they founded Aether, and in a very short time it became a home away from home for many guests and friends from around the world. Her vision was born from a deep love for Mykonos, meaningful hospitality, and the culture of food as a way of connection. At Aether, food is not simply nourishment; it is ritual, memory, and storytelling. Each retreat is designed around shared tables, local ingredients, and thoughtfully curated culinary experiences. Fourteen years now, she invites guests to slow down, reconnect, and experience Mykonos through flavors, people, and traditions. Aether is a place where comfort, privacy, and mindful living coexist effortlessly.

Evi Santoriniou was born and raised in Mykonos and works on creating handmade products through her brand handmakemehappy, combining traditional skills with contemporary aesthetics. She is also the founder of the Hiking Mykonos group, which organizes hikes and exploratory routes on the island, giving participants the opportunity to discover the natural beauty, trails, and heritage of Mykonos through outdoor walks.
