IMAGO IN GREECE

A Healing Place, A Healing Time for your relationship

A one-week vacation for couples on the Greek Island of Aegina integrating the “Getting the Love You Want”® Workshop led by Sophie Slade, Ph.D., & David Howarth

Aegina, Greece: The Healing Island

An island of exceptional beauty, picturesque houses, winding alleys, terraced hillsides, wide white sandy beaches, crystal clear aquamarine waters, an ancient temple of the Goddess Aphaia, and modern day luxuries, unspoiled by mass tourism.

The family run "Magda Hotel" has 30 recently renovated rooms, set around its own swimming pool and pool bar. It is situated in one of the best locations in Aghia Marina on a hill overlooking the Saronic Gulf, just 5 minutes away from the village centre (full of restaurants, coffee bars and shops selling traditional arts and craft ware) and a few minutes further to the beach. www.magdahotelaegina.com
