Crete FAQS

Do people come alone?

Over half of our guests are solo travellers. Joining a fitness retreat is a safe bet for solo travellers because you're guaranteed to meet people with similar interests.

Are flights & transfers included?

No, you will need to make your own travel arrangements. We recommend skyscanner.com to find the best deals. Hiring a car is by far the most cost-effective way to get around the island. Before the trip, we'll be setting up a team Whatsapp group so that you can chat. Guests usually club together on transfers or car hire after chatting in the Whatsapp group.

Do I need to be super fit to take part?

Not at all! Everybody's fitness levels are different. If you want to train hard, sure, we can help you with that. If you want to take it easier, you can do that too. Remember, all of our activities are optional. This is your holiday. Take it at your own pace and enjoy yourself!

Are meals included, and what about drinks? 

This retreat is half board so you'll get breakfast and dinner each day. On day four, we'll take you out to the Captain's House, one of our favourite local restaurants. As we're not eating at the resort that evening, we'll provide a bonus lunch that day too! Still and sparkling water is included, and you'll pay for your other drinks.
