- The location of Lindos is very warm and dry with a sea breeze that disguises the heat of the sun.
Whatever exercise clothing you feel comfortable in is appropriate choosing a light ‘dry fit fabric is best and of course using a high sun factor.
Sun hats, for the hikes with walking boots and training shoes.
For the rest of the time cool linen casual garments are best for comfort. A checklist of recommended items will be sent to each guest on confirmation of booking. - Q. Travelling alone?
- Our Sospa groups will be small up to 24 persons per week. Our team will have plenty of time to spend with guests ensuring all feel relaxed during the holiday. Sospa holidays attract like-minded people who wish to go on holiday and have a fun, positive and relaxing break and leave refreshed and revitalised. It is a great way to be involved with a group and there will be plenty of opportunity to take solitude where one requires.
- Q. What about a drink of wine?
- During the induction consultation each guest will tell the trainer what he or she require from the holiday.
If a weight loss or detox were the goal then it would be advisable not to drink alcohol during the holiday for maximum benefit. However for those wishing to relax their regime in the evenings a half bottle of wine per guest with the evening meal will be optional. - Q. Do I have to join in everything?
- Once again it will be up to yourself what you wish to achieve from your Sospa holiday and it is up to you as to what advice you follow as it is your holiday and you do not have to take part in everything if you do not wish. There will be plenty of opportunity to simply relax.
- Q. Will I lose weight?
- During the health consultation we will discuss with you your goals, which you want to achieve during your holiday. We will be providing healthy and nutritious meals and combined with the activities and personal advice on offer it will be your choice how you wish the holiday to go. As always weight loss takes discipline and effort but we hope to make that effort fun.
