Founders

The Mediterranean Lifestyle is a signature collection of Live Longer & Better and was founded by Melisa and Elena Koyunseven. Based on the stunning island of Mallorca, Spain, their mission is to share the timeless principles of Mediterranean wellness with the world.

Elena, a native Greek, was born and raised in Germany, and in 2013, she returned to her Mediterranean roots, reconnecting with the rich culture and lifestyle her parents had left behind more than 50 years ago. Melisa, with Greek and Turkish heritage, grew up immersed in the flavors, traditions, and values of both cultures. In 2015, she joined Elena on the island of Mallorca, where they both embraced the relaxed, nourishing, and healthy way of life that defines the Mediterranean.

Inspired by the tranquility, vitality, and cultural richness they experienced, they were determined to share this lifestyle with others. They asked themselves: how could they bring the Mediterranean spirit to people around the globe and inspire them to live healthier, more vibrant lives by making simple yet impactful changes to their daily routines?

The answer came in the form of The Mediterranean Lifestyle—a visually captivating, informative, and timeless digital magazine that not only reflects the current trends but also embodies the core values of the Mediterranean way of life.

“Since our first edition, we’ve cultivated a unique style and an independent vision. Our readers and partners value us for our authenticity, creativity, and sincerity. As a result, we’ve built a vibrant, ever-growing community of like-minded individuals around the world.”
