Kalimera! I’m Anthony, your host for this unforgettable co-working experience in Crete, Greece. I’m hosting this CoWorking Retreat to combine productivity with the richness of Cretan culture. With a passion for freedom, personal growth, and connection, I’ve crafted this experience to create first & foremost a psychologically safe environment where work, play and joy blend seamlessly -all while exploring the beauties of Crete. Imagine… Waking up to panoramic views, diving into productive work sessions in sunlit spaces, and unwinding with evenings filled with laughter, local delicacies and stunning sunsets.
A Greek in nationality, free spirit at heart and passionate advocate for authentic living, personal growth and meaningful connections. My experiences have inspired me to create a retreat which is more than coworking—it’s about exploring yourself, connecting with others and finding freedom through self empowerment at stunning spaces, where we can work, live and connect authentically. As I’ve learned that laughing at life’s twists is far more liberating than taking them too seriously, I also realised It’s a window to the soul that invites lightness and connection. Through gamified workshops on communication skills and emotional intelligence, woven seamlessly into our daily experience, we’ll create moments of joy, shared laughter, and unexpected discoveries. Every exercise we’ll do is grounded in science, designed by experts in the fields of positive psychology and neuroscience, shaped by my own coaching and training experience. Through these gamified activities, carefully curated by… yours truly, we’ll have fun learning how we perceive and communicate.
We'll be staying at a villa, featuring stone and wooden elements combined with modern touches. A charming 5-bedroom retreat with a strong and typical Greek character. With a 50mb/s download speed internet connection & good coverage in all rooms, a private pool, garden views, and expansive shared spaces, this villa offers the perfect environment for work and relaxation. Choose between the two spacious tables outdoors to set your workstation or take it indoors. There’s no doubt that you will find your happy spot! The villa is located 11km close to the beautiful city of Rethymno. Key Features: - Spacious & Comfortable: 5 bedrooms (3 with double bed & 2 with 2 single beds) - Strong Wi-Fi: Reliable connection - Multiple Workspaces: Indoor and outdoor areas to work from - Private Pool & Garden - Fully Equipped open Kitchen - Peaceful setting with minimal distractions. Location Highlights - 11km from Rethymno, a vibrant town with cafes and restaurants. - Scenic surroundings for walks and exploration. Any questions about the trip?

Preveli beach
Day 15
Preveli Beach is a place of unique natural beauty and serenity. It is a protected area under the Natura 2000 network, preserving its pristine environment. The beach, located at the mouth of the Kourtaliotis River, is also known for its thriving palm forest, one of Crete’s natural treasures. Preveli is not organized, offering a more raw and tranquil experience. Access involves a bit of walking, but the effort is rewarded with crystal-clear waters and a peaceful atmosphere. It’s an ideal spot for moments of reflection, connecting with nature, and escaping distractions.

Elafonisi lagoon
Day 15
Elafonisi is a breathtaking location renowned for its pink sand and shallow turquoise waters. Declared a protected area under the EU Natura program, it is home to a thriving ecosystem, including the Caretta Caretta turtles. Its untouched beauty offers an opportunity to unwind and connect with the rhythms of nature. Although quite popular, its expansive layout ensures space for quieter moments.
4
Old Venetian Port of Chania
Day 15
Chania’s Old Venetian Harbour is a feast for the senses and soul where I’ve spent hours wandering, intentionally getting lost (if such a thing is possible) in the narrow streets and strolling along the waterfront. From the iconic lighthouse to its vibrant street life, Chania is a city to lose yourself in its charm and people. Having lived there for a while brings up lovely memories, emotions of happiness and warmth to my heart which I would love to share with you and experience firsthand how special this place is.
5
Knossos Palace
Day 15
Dive into Crete’s ancient past at Knossos Palace, the legendary heart of Minoan civilization. Then, shift gears and explore rugged trails on an off-road buggy safari (optional), combining history and adventure for an unforgettable day. If you like go-karts, you will adore this! Buckle up and I’ll race you to the top!...cautiously, safely and joyfully…of course! ;)
6
Rethimno
Day 15
Rethymno, just 11km from our stay, is a great vibrant place to explore. We’ll wander through the Old Town, visit the Venetian Fortezza, and stop by the Rimondi Fountain and the Neratze Mosque. Ideally, a local wine-tasting tour would most certainly add to the experience, with time to relax by the sea and enjoy local food.
7
Bali Beach
Day 15
Set sail from the serene village of Bali and journey along Crete’s stunning coastline. We’ll start our day from Bali, a small seaside village framed by green hills and calm bays. Once upon a time being a humble fishing port, Bali has grown into a hub for exploring Crete’s coastline. We’ll pause to explore hidden caves, swim in the sparkling turquoise waters, and tune in the gentle rhythm of the sea. It’s a day to indulge in pure relaxation and connection with the natural beauty of Crete.
