The Retreater

Crete Training Holiday June

About The Retreat

Every year we open our summerhouse to friends old and new for a chance to train, explore the island together and make new friends. Over the years our weeks in Crete have created friendships, memories and good habits for us to take into the winter season. With plenty of activity, recovery and awesome people to share it, you’ll come away feeling refreshed, reconnected and full of life. Train under the sun in a premium outdoor gym, fitted with Eleiko equipment. Relax in your villa set against the beautiful Cretan mountains with your fellow guests and enjoy delicious local Greek food. Adventure on a guided hike and frolic on a boat as you explore coves and navigate the Mediterranean. Most importantly, come home with lasting friendships. Our hosts are there to help you feel perfectly at home and soak in everything this beautiful corner of the world has to offer. This summer we have a wider range of dates and opportunities for you to get involved. We can’t wait to see you.
