Savour grown-up elegance on Crete’s golden shore
Atlantica Kalliston Resort stretches out along the golden crescent of Agioi Apostoloi Beach like a love letter to the Mediterranean lifestyle.
This adults-only haven blends cool coastal minimalism with just the right measure of grown-up indulgence, brilliantly backdropped by the exquisite blue of the Cretan Sea. Days here tend to drift between poolside lounging, soul-soothing spa rituals and long, languid lunches that segue into seaview sundowners.
If you can tear yourself away, the postcard-perfect harbour of Chania is just up the coast, with its irresistible maze of Venetian laneways, candlelit tavernas and chatty wine bars. Romantic, refined, and made for just you and that special someone.
Move farther, faster with the latest in wearable tech
For those who love to roam, hike or explore off-grid, the Hypershell X is a game-changer.
The world’s first outdoor exoskeleton, this sleek, AI-powered exoskeleton supports your natural stride, boosting leg strength by up to 40% while reducing exertion. Whether you’re trail-walking, mountaineering or cycling, it adapts in real time to your movements, making steep climbs feel smooth and carrying packs less fatiguing.
The Hypershell X folds for easy transport and runs up to 17.5km per battery. It’s rugged, dust- and water-resistant, and thoughtfully designed for everyday adventurers, not just elite athletes. Whether you’re chasing views in the Dolomites or getting back to movement after a long break, this is wearable tech that puts a spring in your step. From $999 (£730).
