The suites, one of which is accessible to people with disabilities, and the traditional basement rooms are named after 5 women and one man who have been an inspiration to the owners of Santa Irini Retreat: Margarita, Avgi , Theodossia, Efterpi, Sophia and Nikos. The location of each of them as well as the experience of their inside space reflect important aspects of these persons' lives.
