Where You'll Be

Plaka, on the north-east coast of Crete.

Location

Two houses in the bay. This is where you'll be.

Everything we do is within a few minutes' walk: the two houses, the gym, the beach, brunch on the water. Whichever house you sleep in, you are never far from the rest of the group.

  1. 1. Fig Tree Villa Home for the week: the gym, the group, the daily rhythm. Four small villas around the open-air gym, opposite the beach; every bedroom has its own bathroom and a sea-view terrace.
  2. 2. The open-air gym Where we train each full-day morning. An Eleiko rig, barbells, kettlebells and rowers on grass, under the pergola.
  3. 3. Spinalonga Villa Five minutes' walk along the bay. The most spacious rooms, each with its own bathroom, sea views and the pool. Our two chef dinners are here.
  4. 4. Epico Brunch on the water, every day: a specialty coffee, a smoothie and a proper meal.
  5. 5. The windmills The guided walk up the hill behind the house, with Plaka and the bay below.
  6. 6. Spinalonga island The island just across the water from Plaka, and the view from the bay.

The houses and the bay

Fig Tree Villa is the hub: the gym, the group, the daily rhythm. Spinalonga Villa is the quieter house above the bay, where our chef dinners are.

Fig Tree VillaOur home for the weekFour small villas around the open-air gym, opposite Plaka beach. Each has two bedrooms, one on each floor, every one with its own bathroom and a terrace looking out to sea, and a lounge and kitchen the two rooms share. It was the family home of Stella, who founded More Life Adventures, and it still feels like one.
