If you sign up for "Boutique Week" at the Blue Palace resort located in beautiful Elounda, Crete; be sure to ready yourself for anything but a relaxing week. This spa "camp" is a rigorous seven day program that tests your cardiovasular, endurance and flexibility. Every day begins with a 7 AM work out , which is followed by two more sessions throughout the day and ends with a hike up a hill. (Sorry no spas or therma treatment here.)
The program designed by Joe Fournier, a former England basketball captain and now personal trainer, has become fairly popular, and has drawn an added and very targeted number of 'tourists' to the hotel.
DF: The program also includes a high protein, low sugar diet, and lots and lots of swimming and walking. Doesn't sound like a vacation to us but if you want to come back from Greece feeling more fit than ever...give it a try.
