One of the best weeks of my life was spent at a NIA Exercise Retreat held at Rosy's Little Village. ROSY and her family's tender loving care, adorable rooms with water views, looking forward each night to dining with friends on THE BEST FOOD ON THE ISLAND, and especially Rosy's handholding during times of perceived trauma will never be forgotten. For instance: (1) During my stay I permanently damaged my international cell phone which had kept me in touch with my husband each day - a disaster! Within minutes Rosy's son had pronounced my phone dead, my SIM chip alive, and Rosy had loaned me an extra handset she had - VOILA, I had a working cell phone again! (2) I bought too much to carry home: no problem, Rosy helped me pack up all my purchases and had them delivered to my hotel in Athens for transfer to the airport. Dining is an art at Rosy's. If you have the good fortune of traveling with a group of friends as I did simply order one of every dish offered at dinner each night and then pass the plates around - and then you will order seconds of everything as we did each night! There are bikes available for riding (free), boats can be arranged to take you around the island (nominal fee), Rosy's family can teach you how to sail on their small sailboat (not sure of the fee), Rosy will help you arrange any and all activities available in the area, and when you are done dining and shopping and exercising and lounging and if they have time, Rosy and Nondas will sit down with you and share some of their expansive knowledge about . . . well, they know a little bit about everything and an awful lot about an awful lot. We talked literature, politics, history, traveling, etc., and our conversations got more raucous and hysterical each night of my stay. Our group had not yet left before we were planning to return again next year. Returning seems to be a recurring theme at Rosy's Little Village, and there is an excellent reason for it: ROSY offers a perfect environment to relax, restore, and to remember what live is about: THE ART OF LIVING!
