πŸ’™πŸ€ I'm planning a trip to the Cyclades πŸ–οΈ in early summer 2024 for a week of editing my latest documentary. πŸ’» Instead of sitting in an office in Athens, I am relocating to a sweet country house near Naxos's most amazing beaches (among them one of the world's best beaches for kite surfing). It's going to be a great combination of getting deep focus work done and lots of Vitamin Sea.🌊 Wanna join me? πŸ€— Included in the trip price is the accommodation and all related costs like tourism taxes, service fee (which includes cleaning) and utility bills, as well as all travel on the island.πŸš—πŸšŒ Whereas TRAVEL TO NAXOS βœˆοΈβ›΄οΈ is NOT INCLUDED, neither are the costs of πŸ₯— food (calculate about 15-50€/day for food, depending on how many restaurant meals are involved). Let’s decide together how often we want to dine out or cook at home and budget accordingly. I am also not including activities in the costs, because we will also decide on these together, but here are some things to do on Naxos with approximate prices (NOT included in the trip cost): - Portara visit (FREE) πŸ›οΈ - hiking the many mountain paths between villages and ancient sites (FREE) β›°οΈπŸ˜οΈβ›°οΈπŸ—» - beach trips to Alyko nature reserve (FREE) 🏝️ - visit the street art galley at Alyko beach (FREE)πŸŽ‘ - Naxos Castro, Archaeological Museum, Temple of Demeter, Towers (entrance fees vary but should be no more than about 20€ each)πŸ•πŸ›οΈπŸŒ… - 2 hour windsurf gear rental beginners (40€ + 10€ insurance) - 2 hour private windsurfing lesson (1 hour supervised, 1 free practice) (75€) - 1 hour private kiteboarding class including gear rental (80€)πŸͺ‚ - cooking class and dining (around 90€) - private olive tour with oil tasting (197€) πŸ«’ - private wine tour with local winemaker on two family vineyards (243€) πŸ‡πŸ· Did I mention I plan for us to stay near a string of beaches which are among the top in Greece and the world? πŸ–οΈπŸοΈπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠβ›±οΈ With something for every taste of sea lover.🀿 When the weather is cooler, we can go hiking and explore the beautiful island villages and mountains or take culture trips to discover the antiquities and museums around the island. Naxos has delicious food and πŸ₯”πŸ«‘πŸ₯’πŸ†πŸ…πŸ‰πŸ‹πŸ‡local produce, and one of its best restaurants is just around the corner from our accommodation.

About me: I am a filmmaker 🎬, an Art of Money Mentor Guide πŸ’ΆπŸ’΅πŸ’° and training to be a certified Big Leap coach with the Hendricks Institute. 🀸 I also used to work as a location scout and fixer in film productionπŸ“±πŸ“žπŸ§Ύ, so I know how to find places to see and things to do that you don't usually discover as a tourist. I am a ProTrip Leader on JoinMyTrip for the first time, but I've been organising everything from transport πŸ›«πŸš…πŸšŒπŸ›ΊπŸ›΄β›΅οΈπŸš and accommodation πŸ›Œ to work spaceπŸ’», teams, locations and film crews πŸ“½οΈ for international productions for over a decade. I know how to get the wifi to work in the most remote mountain village πŸ“― and where a bunch of hungry people can find authentic food after a long day at work. I love my morning smoothies, practice yoga πŸ§˜πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ and meditation daily, love going on hikes and immerse myself in nature as much as dining out and discovering shops with local products or cute photo motifs. The sea is my medicine. 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 I have visited Naxos in the past and know a fair amount and there is still so much to discover. I am happy to apply my local knowledge and take us on excursions in a rental car πŸš™ or by bus 🚌 around the island, and I am looking for Travel Mates who would love to join in these activities. I also enjoy a night out 🍹 and dancing until the morningπŸ’ƒπŸ»πŸ•ΊπŸ½πŸ‘―β€β™‚οΈπŸ‘―πŸ‘―β€β™€οΈπŸ•ΊπŸ½πŸ’ƒπŸ», but on this trip I am focussed on my work πŸ’» and would prefer a chill night on the balcony and some deep talk or skill sharing after we close our laptops for the day. My ideal for this workation is a mix of privacy and independence to get our projects done and chilled shared activities, great conversations and some exploring of our surroundings, individually or as a group. If that speaks to you, I can't wait to hear from you.

Accommodation: The house I would love to book for us offers the best of both worlds: cleverly designed and furnished in minimalist style, the architect owner transformed a simple family country house into 4 separate apartments, each with their own bathroom, balcony and kitchen, so that we all have complete privacy when we need it, and can share meals, yoga sessions, and walks to the beach whenever we feel like it. 🏑🌱🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌊🀿 Some apartments have a kitchenette, and there is a bigger, fully equipped kitchen in one apartment, so we can easily cook and dine together - when we are not dining out at some of the quaint tavernas by the sea just a walk away from the house. There is wifi, air-conditioning and the necessary bathroom 🚿🧽 and kitchen appliances πŸ½οΈπŸ§‚πŸ₯£πŸ«– in every apartment. All rooms have a desk space πŸͺ‘(some even have two separate desks!), their own bathroom πŸ›€πŸΌ and access to their own balcony ⛱️ and there is a separate, shared laundry room 🧺 with washing machine and clothes dryer. Since all rooms are double rooms, there is the opportunity to bring a partner or friend with whom you are comfortable sharing a double bed. Get in touch with me for calculating the reduced costs for each of you. The house is surrounded by fields that lead to the beach about 15 minutes walking distance. We have a bus stop πŸ“­ 300m down the road from our house at the local supermarket "Verikokos" which also functions as the ticket office, so there is always the option to hop on local public transport. The house is available for us now, and we need to make our decision fast, because someone else could snap it up. (In this case, I have similar accommodation as a backup, but the luxury of private space and having the whole house and garden to ourselves is rare, and we should book soon.) If all this sounds like your kind of thing, I'm looking forward to meeting you, getting some great work done and rewarding ourselves with an amazing Cycladic island experience in beautiful tranquil surrounds. Get in touch or ask your questions in the Q&A, so we can enjoy a great workation together!

Trip Itinerary
1

Mikri Vigla

Day 1-8
- Travel Dates: Day 1-7 - Transportation: From Athens, you can take a ferry from Piraeus port to Naxos. The ticket price is approximately 51 Euros per person. There is also the option to book a direct flight to Naxos from many international airports, or fly from Athens. Once on the island, I will pick you up from harbour or airport to travel to our accommodation in Mikri Vigla and we can settle into our nice apartments. Depending on what time you arrive, it might be a good idea to head off to "our" beach straight away. We will have our beautiful accommodation amidst nature and just a short walk from the beach for all our days on the island. To get around the island and discover also the hidden gems, we rent a car for the whole time of our stay (included in the costs). Because we will all be working and maybe have different schedules, the activities I am proposing are suggestions and we can adjust according to your taste.

Alyko beach

Day 8
The most Instagrammable beach on the island. It has dark rocks - reminding of the Hawaiian landscape, and clear blue waters. Near the beach, there is a food truck with delicious hot dogs and veggie options where we can get sustenance before exploring the abandoned hotel building site in the cedar forest that is has been turned by street artists into an open air graffiti gallery with sea views.
3

Naxos

Day 8
On one of our afternoons after work, we can travel to Naxos Town (approximately 30 minutes by bus or car) for some history and culture. Activities: - Explore the Old Town and visit the Venetian Castle. - Visit the Archaeological Museum of Naxos. - Visit the Portara temple gate for sunset pictures
