What guests say about this trip
Fitness Unboxed | Outdoor Training & Fitness Holiday Greece | Create Your Own Fitness Escape
I was in Greece with Reiseathleten and everything was great 🥰 the location is a dream. The program was very varied and the Reiseathleten team was always available. Even late in the evening and on weekends WhatsApp messages were answered quickly. I’m looking forward to the next trip 🤸♀️
My fitness holiday at Melitsina in Greece was simply really good. The organization was top and the support before, during and after the trip by phone and Whatsapp was always quick and reliable. The Crossfit training and the PT sessions were very professional. The on-site coach is simply really good and likes to pass his knowledge on to the athletes. The yoga classes and massages were also very good as a balance to the training. As special activities on site, the kayak and Sunset Bike Tour are highly recommended.
My boyfriend and I recently returned from our 10-day trip to Greece and loved every part of it. The hotel was perfect, the staff extremely friendly and the owner, Dimitri, not only showed us a great time at his hotel but also taught us more than we had hoped for in his extensive outdoor CrossFit training sessions. Julian from Reiseathleten not only responded immediately to all questions but also made great recommendations regarding the trip. It was the easiest process of vacation planning I've ever experienced. Needless to say: HIGHLY recommend and we will be back next year!
This August I booked my summer vacation in Greece through Reiseathleten. The organization of the trip and the communication with Reiseathleten worked really well from the beginning to the end of the vacation. The Crossfit training in Kardamili was great fun in every session. That was due in particular to the Unboxed training area that offers everything that makes a Crossfitter's heart beat faster, as well as to the super warm and professional trainer! Many thanks for the really lovely time at the Greek Mediterranean!

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the practical questions guests usually ask before booking.
What is the minimum stay?
The recommended minimum of your fitness holiday in Greece is 3 nights. 7 nights is usually the easiest rhythm for training, yoga, functional fitness, CrossTraining, recovery and enough time on site.
Who is this fitness trip best for?
This trip is a strong fit if you want yoga and functional fitness inside a real fitness holiday in Greece. Depending on the setup, it can work for solo travellers, couples, friends or small groups who want an active holiday.
How flexible is the schedule? Can I join for just a few days?
Yes! The retreat is designed for flexible durations. You can book from as little as 3 nights — just select your preferred dates during the booking process.
What room types are available, and can I book a room with a sea view?
You’ll stay at the Melitsina Village Hotel, where all rooms are bright, spacious, and feature either a sea or garden view. If you’d like to secure a room with a sea view or have specific preferences, let us know when booking—these rooms are especially popular and limited. Every room has a balcony or terrace for relaxing after a day of training.
When should I lock in my preferred dates?
As early as possible. Flexible tours offer more freedom, but the most convenient date windows and room options usually go first.
Do I need a certain fitness level to join the workouts?
All fitness levels are welcome. Whether you’re just starting out or already training at an advanced level, sessions are adapted to your experience. Coaches are on hand to guide you, and you can always choose the pace and intensity that fits you best.
Is airport transfer included, and how do I get to the hotel?
Airport transfers are available as an optional add-on and can be booked during your reservation. The nearest airport is Kalamata (KLX). If you prefer to arrive on your own, we’ll send you detailed directions and are always here to help if you have questions. Many guests enjoy the scenic ride along the coast to Kardamili.
Can I also fly into Athens?
Yes. While the nearest airport is Kalamata (KLX), you can also fly into Athens. In that case, we recommend renting a car, as the drive to Kardamili takes approximately 3 hours and is straightforward. Alternatively, there are direct buses from Athens to Kardamili. We can also arrange a pickup from Kardamili bus station for the same price as an airport transfer from Kalamata (KLX). Many guests use the journey to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Peloponnese along the way. ☀️🇬🇷🚗
What is the group atmosphere usually like?
Expect a social but easygoing atmosphere. Guests often train together, share recommendations, and connect naturally, while still having enough space for their own routine.
Is this trip better for friends or small groups?
This tour can feel more like a hotel plus program stay, so it often works especially well for friends, couples, or small groups who want to travel together while still joining the experience.
