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.
