Find your Fitness & Wellness
Mykonos
A destination with a world-renowned reputation, Mykonos needs no introduction. In amongst it's notorious nightlife, winding roads and whitewashed architecture lies the misconception that there is little time for health & fitness. The private beach at Santa Marina Resort makes a myriad of watersports possible, complimented by eating clean & soaking up the sun.

Crete
As the largest island of Greece, Crete’s natural beauty is vast & unique. Inviting exploration, Crete offers a plethora of opportunities to stay active. Swim, hike & bike against the backdrop of Elounda's cerulean seas. The purity of its nature is a rarity in the modern world of travel. Refuel from the gastronomy of Cretan cuisine & relax with the Elounda Spa experience at Blue Palace Resort.

Costa Navarino
On the coast of Messinia lies Costa Navarino. Scenic beaches of Ionian waters lie at the foot of mountainous mainland. A native food culture has been molded by olive groves & vineyards sweeping it's rolling hills. Accompanied by golf courses & award-winning spa, this region of the Peloponnese promises holistic wellness.
Take me to Costa Navarino
Santorini
Constructed by the signature of nature, Santorini lures an international crowd every year. Yet, it's a disservice to limit your perception of the island to the obvious appeal of the Caldera. Go beyond the iconic blue and white architecture, for yoga on black sand beaches or horseback riding through the streets of Megalochori. After, lounge by the pool & revitalize at the spa of Vedema Resort or Mystique hotel - a healthy holiday calls.
12 Days, 4 Destinations
Beginnings in Mykonos
The sun rises on our journey in the hot-spot of Greece
Being Zac & Tara’s first time in Greece, it was mandatory to commence their journey on the illustrious island of Mykonos. The key to any healthy lifestyle is consistency, @leaguetravels stay at Santa Marina made this easy. The resort offers all the affordances to keep up that dedication to fitness, relaxation and clean eating.
Healthy Holidays are not a Myth
As legend says, Mykonos was the birthplace of Apollo, God of the sun and his sister Artemis, Goddess of the moon. Honor mythology in taking the time to soak up the sun and going on to savor fresh, delicious dinning under a moonlit sky. Who better to pass on some tips on self-TLC from The League Collective themselves.

Dive into the Cerulean Sea
Crete’s title as the largest island in Greece saw this leg of the trip as action packed. The Blue Palace Resort makes balance between staying active & restful leisure effortless.

Crete’s gastronomy simultaneously served up wellness and deliciousness to first-timers Zach & Tara.

Our journey comes to a close in the Caldera
Santorini has become an obligatory destination to visit when in Greece, for Zach and Tara it was appreciated for all its evident beauty and all the underrated affordances the island has to offer. In the southern region of Santorini @leaguetravels made the most of their stay at Vedema Resort, in the traditional village of Megalochori. Covering fitness, wellness and nutrition with horseback riding through the village, hydrating with fresh juices at the open-air Jacuzzi and private in Villa spa sessions.
Yoga sessions on the black sand of Perivolos Beach, ancient volcanic eruptions leaving behind a modern day marvel.
...and the Sun Sets in Santorini
In the northern part of Santorini lies Mystique, nestled into the famed Oia cliff face. Savoring healthy breakfasts overlooking the natural architecture of the Caldera, the couple started each day ‘well’. Workouts were taken to another level with the Hotel’s gym maximizing on the same glorious views. Revitalization was easily attainable at the Elios Spa, bringing it all back to center.
It would be remiss to neglect the sunset in this specific corner of the world, so Zach and Tara took on a hike through Oia. You would be hard pressed to find anything like living in the moment during Santorini’s gold hour.
