Our Story
"Embracing Slow Living Since 1998"
The Slow Gaia is a family-owned slow living lifestyle brand rooted in intentional, and grounded living.
It began in 1998, from the restoration of the owner's grandmother village home, transformed into a carefully curated cottage where life moved at a gentler pace. A place to breathe, to rest, and to remember that living well doesn’t have to be complicated.
The owners, Elena and Costas, wanted to offer travelers an alternative, more mindful way of connecting with the island and its natural rhythms. What started as a single cottage has grown into a way of hosting, living, and welcoming others into a slower, more intentional experience, without asking them to give up modern comfort or ease.
The Slow Gaia Cyprus Agrotourism Stays are an invitation to slow down, feel at home, and live in tune with what matters.
What we offer
The Slow Gaia offers Cyprus Agrotourism accommodations designed for slow, mindful, and nature-connected experiences.
Our spaces are rooted in simplicity, comfort, and respect for the land. We offer stays that encourage guests to move at a gentler pace, enjoy seasonal living, and reconnect with everyday rituals, from shared meals and quiet mornings to time spent outdoors. Everything we offer is shaped by intention rather than excess. Our focus is on creating calm, welcoming environments that support rest, reflection, and an authentic experience of being.
Our Mission
Our mission at The Slow Gaia is to offer you a sanctuary away from the rush of daily life, where you can reconnect with yourself and the essence of slow living.
We exist to create authentic spaces where people can step out of the urgency and reconnect with nature, with simple rhythms, and with themselves without abandoning the comforts of modern life. Our mission is to support slow living in a practical, grounded way by providing places that invite rest, presence, efortless luxury, and and a deeper connection to the land.
We believe that meaningful experiences don’t come from doing more, but from being more present. Through mindful hospitality and respect for natural cycles, we aim to make slowing down feel natural, accessible, and restorative.
