Things to Do to Stay Fit on Holidays

By Steve Alexander


When the mood takes you, Mediterranean resorts offer a variety of fun activities to enjoy. So get out there and keep active, rather than spending your whole holiday sat on the sun lounger!

The party scene is one reason why many Mediterranean holidaymakers are in the area. A host of vibrant bars and restaurants can be found in Protaras, many of which stay open into the small hours. If it's serious clubbing you're looking for though, why not take a taxi to the nearby resort of Ayia Napa? It may not be clean living but it's great exercise! You'll find a host of clubs and bars where 24-hour party people congregate to dance the night away.

The glittering Aegean playground of Kusadasi is an obvious choice for sun-worshippers, but there are numerous sights to explore while you stretch your legs and work up an appetite for the next meal. The most famous, of course, is the historic city of Ephesus, one of the most beautiful and best preserves sites of the ancient world. Dating back to 3000 BC, the Romans, Greeks, Lydians and even the legendary Amazons have left traces of their civilization and mythology here.

You can treat your body as a temple by booking a traditional Turkish bath, or hamam, if exploring ancient monuments sounds a bit too much like hard work. The time-honoured rituals will leave you looking as glowing as you feel with hot and cold pools, massage, treatments for face and body all being available.

Not all Mediterranean resorts offer scuba diving, but Mykonos is one where it is available. If you have never dived before, there are introductory courses available that will allow you to explore beneath those sapphire waters safely during the course of your holiday. Experienced divers can get to grips with underwater photography, night diving, deep diving and other advanced skills. If you prefer staying close to the surface, snorkelling is an easy way to get to know the world beneath the surface of the sea.
