As some of you may know, we have been operating Greek Escape in Chania since 2020. However, last winter we encountered a dead end with our local partners in Chania, which made us decide to explore other options. Our primary goal has always been to offer beautiful accommodations in stunning locations, where people can live and work alongside a community of digital nomads. With our mission in mind, we embarked on a search for the next Greek Escape houses. It took us several mon

Of course, we do "the working, and the living". But being on a Cretan island for several weeks with old and new friends, you are bound to go on adventures and learn new things! Here are a few of the things we did during our first season. We cannot wait to explore more with you over the upcoming seasons!

We were looking

And that means you're never short of a companion to play, learn, explore, help, support! Beyond our own work as designers, digital marketers, developers, copywriters and any other remote jobs there are nowadays, we also like to spend time "not working" together! At Greek Escape we try to always organize at least 2 events a week. One is more business oriented while the other one focuses on getting together and connecting around an activity. We have our own suggestions of cou

Last week we zoomed in with Jessica who stayed at Greek Escape for a week on our opening month. Jessica has lived with other people before in a more classical "shared flat" setting but the experience was quite challenging as she was working from home and not really feeling it was the perfect set up for best productivity and wellbeing living with people with completely different lifestyles.
