The Adventure Club

The Adventure Club offers the young guests at the Elix, Mar-Bella Collection an unforgettable programme of activities during their stay.  

There are a number of activities held throughout the summer for children to enjoy. These specially designed programmes will give ages 8-15 a fun array of treasure hunts, star gazing, water fights and other games wrapped up around Greek Mythology.  

The Poseidon Adventure 
Young explorers will take to the water to recover Poseidon's trident, stolen by the mischievous water nymphs and scattered to the four winds. First, will be learning how to paddle kayaks before heading along the coast with instructors, searching the caves and rocks for pieces of the trident. Once all the pieces are recovered and reassembled, the trident can be returned to Poseidon's Shrine hidden in a secret place only accessible by water. 

The Zeus Mystery 
Zeus was the Emperor of the Olympian Gods and well known for his temper. Perched on the hill along the coast from the hotel is the remains of a 2500yr old Citadel called Elina. The inhabitants displeased Zeus by worshipping a different God and so he sent thunder and lightning to destroy the city and drive the inhabitants to flee into the sea. As they escaped, they buried their treasures on a secluded beach and left clues so their descendants might return and recover them. 

The Artemis Academy 
Artemis was the Goddess of the Hunt and the Wilderness. During this Adventure, the group will ride on mountain bikes along quiet roads and tracks to a beautiful woodland with a stream running through it. Here the explorers will learn a range of outdoor skills such as trapping, archery, bow, and arrow making, wood carving and shelter building as well as play games and paddling in the stream. 

The Athena Day (July/Aug only) 
Athena was both the Goddess of Warfare as well as Arts and Crafts. This day will be run from the hotel's own Woodland site where the group will try their hand at all sorts of Handicrafts including pottery, knot tying, and weaving interspersed with target archery and some exciting games of dodgeball and beach games. 

The Hades Quest (July/Aug only) 
The Acheron River was one of the rivers of the underworld which bordered Hades. Despite the sombre stories, the Acheron is a beautiful shallow and clear river which originates from springs deep in the countryside. This Quest will see the group travel to the springs by road to play in the river, building model boats and racing them in the current. 

The Hestia Experience (July/Aug only) 
Hestia was the Goddess of the Hearth and so this Adventure Day will all be about food and cooking. The day will start with a fishing lesson, learning how to make hooks, fish spears, nets, and lures. After a session on fire-lighting, the group will learn to prepare and cook with fresh bread and Olives over the fire in the hotel's Woodland Adventure site. 

Please note that some of the activities above will only run during specific dates. Please speak to our Trusted Advisors for more information.
