Dr Anna Kandaraki

How to overcome difficulties

Dr Anna Kandaraki, Clinical Psychologist, Psychotherapist and Doctor of the Medical School of the University of Athens, will take part in an open discussion with Maria Bakodimou on psychological resilience and vulnerability.

The discussion will focus on how we understand difficulties, how we respond to them and how we can restore our balance in times of crisis. Because resilience does not mean never bending, but recognising what we feel, asking for support and adapting.

Karoline Pelendritou

The power of perseverance, resilience and self-belief

Karoline Pelendritou, triple Golden Paralympian in swimming and Ambassador of Lidl Cyprus, is coming to the Lidl Wellness Camp 2026 for a discussion that goes beyond the boundaries of sport.

Drawing on her own journey, she will speak about the power of psychological resilience, perseverance, self-discipline and caring for both body and mind.

A discussion on how difficulties can become a starting point for growth and how the principles of sporting excellence can be applied to personal and professional life.

Dr Kalliopi Kalaitzi, MD, MSc

The 6 steps to healthy longevity

Dr Kalliopi Kalaitzi, Physician in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, specialist in Lifestyle Medicine and founder of The Longevity & Wellbeing Clinic, will speak about healthy longevity.

The theme presents the key pillars of health: nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, healthy social relationships and avoiding harmful habits.

The goal is not simply to add more years to life, but more health, functionality and quality to our years.

Dr Myrtani Pieri

"You are what your microbes eat"

Dr Myrtani Pieri, Associate Professor of Human Physiology at the University of Nicosia, brings to the forefront the fascinating world of the microbiome.

With the theme "You are what your microbes eat", she will explain how nutrition, exercise and lifestyle affect the microbiome, and how this connects to metabolism, the immune system, the brain and our overall health.

Dr Eleni G. Andreou & Nicoleta Michailidou

Body ReShape: the body and the habits built with knowledge

Dr Eleni G. Andreou, Clinical Dietitian-Nutritionist and President of the Association of Dietitians and Nutritionists of Cyprus, together with Nicoleta Michailidou, Clinical Dietitian and Sports Nutritionist, present the interactive workshop Body ReShape.

Their theme combines clinical dietetics, sports nutrition and the principles of Lifestyle Medicine.

It does not focus on quick fixes, but on small, consistent and scientifically supported choices that can support energy, body composition and long-term health.

Dr Chara A. Dimitriou

Mindfulness for everyday life

Dr Chara A. Dimitriou, School/Clinical Psychologist, Assistant Professor of Psychology and President of the Association of Psychologists of Cyprus, will introduce mindfulness as a practical skill for everyday life.

Through short experiential exercises, she will show how we can recognise where our attention is and consciously choose where we want to direct it. A theme that touches on psychological wellbeing, emotional regulation and making more mindful decisions.

A two-day event with experts worth getting to know

From psychological resilience and mindfulness to nutrition, the microbiome, longevity, culture and the power of human connection, the Lidl Wellness Camp 2026 brings together people who have something meaningful to share.

And this is its greatest value: it does not simply invite us to attend a programme. It invites us to get to know the people behind the knowledge and to take away from each one something that can become part of our everyday lives.

With the Lidl Wellness Camp, Lidl Cyprus once again creates a space where knowledge meets experience and wellbeing translates into small, practical choices for a better life.
