The Mediterranean Lifestyle

The Mediterranean Lifestyle is the only magazine focused on promoting the entire Mediterranean region and its celebrated lifestyle, an exemplary way of life that showcases an authentic, culturally rich and diverse approach to all aspects of life. Health, Happiness and Longevity are the strongest resulting benefits and therefore our main focus, besides the Mediterranean Diet, Travel, Culture and more. Every issue provides content that is both, helpful and entertaining. That's why every issue is packed with unique and interesting content written by journalists, book authors, scientists, medical professionals and authorities in their fields, but also passionate people who live this lifestyle every day. We not only want to encourage people to travel the region and learn more about it, but also to live this way of life.

The 7 Principles of the Mediterranean Lifestyle

DID YOU HAVE A GOOD HEARTY LAUGH TODAY? • They say laughter is the best medicine, and this is not just a figure of speech. Laughter, humor and joy are an extremely important part of life!

OYSTERS LES HUÎTRE • Fresh oysters from the sea are a culinary delight to tingle your senses and one of the finest products the sea has to offer. The French oysters, called huîtres, enjoy world fame and are considered to be the most expensive examples. They are an integral part of any gourmet menu around the world and wherever a lavish party is celebrated, you’re almost sure to find the coveted sea creatures, served on crushed ice. The oysters are eaten straight from their shell and washed down with a glass of sparkling champagne.
