Crete - Seaside Full Immersion (All inclusive)

Fly into and out of Heraklion International Airport (HER) in Crete.

At 4 pm, the retreat officially begins.

You will meet your Helios Team and the other guests for a quick shake-out workout before our welcome dinner at 7 pm.

We recommend arriving no later than 4 pm.

On your final day, you’ll have an early session and breakfast before saying goodbye (more like a see you later!) to your fellow travellers and the Helios team.

The transfer departs at 11 am to the airport. If you have transfers included in your package, you must be ready to leave at 11 am and sort out any extras on your room, etc. If you plan to stay a little longer, or your flight is booked for later in the day, you're welcome to stay and enjoy the pool until it's time to leave, but be mindful that the rooms might need to be vacant for changeover.

The journey to the airport takes approximately 40 minutes, depending on traffic conditions, and you should arrive at the airport at least two hours before your flight departs.

If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure, your airport arrival transfer will be included. 

Arrival transfers are private to Helios, and the driver will wait for you and the other participants arriving at a similar time with a HELIOS sign at the airport arrivals. Depending on flight times or delays, you may have to wait for the other retreaters at the airport for a short while.

Please also note that to secure your place on the private transfer, you’ll need to provide your flight details to our Customer Experience team no later than 10 days before your adventure’s departure date.

You’ll get automated email reminders about this, but the team won’t be chasing you. That’s why it’s crucial to receive this information in good time. If the details are provided later than 10 days before departure, you may need to arrange your transportation from the airport.

This retreat includes a scheduled departure transfer from Villa Joy to Mykonos International Airport. To use this service, please book a flight that departs after 2 pm on your last day.

If your flight departs earlier than 2 pm, you will need to arrange and pay for a private transfer (approximately 50 euros). Your Helios Host can arrange this for you, and you may be able to share the cost if others are in the same situation. Similarly, if you extend your stay in Mykonos, a departure transfer will not be included.

If you extend your stay in Mykonos, you can take the shared transfers to the airport on the last day of the tour and continue independently to your hotel from there.

We recommend reading through the itinerary above and getting in touch if you have specific questions about fitness.

This is a fairly active trip with hilly terrain and a Hybrid type of training, but fully scalable to everyone's skill level.

Our coaches will asses the fitness levels of each guests on the first day and adapt the training accordingly.

These changes can occur with little notice due to factors beyond our control, such as coach availability, poor weather, seasonal changes, or other unforeseen circumstances. However, we’ll always do our best to minimise their impact on your experience. From time to time, we may also make adjustments to your itinerary to explore new ideas and keep things fresh and exciting.
