Affordable accommodation and co-working for digital nomads
Greece, island Ikaria

If you belong to the category of digital nomads or if you want to spend some time in Ikaria working on your own project, the Ikaria Center offers you affordable accommodation, free access to a car for your explorations on the island, co-working space and participation in indoor and outdoor activities. The accommodation and work facilities are located in an organized building complex, in a wooded area on a hillside, approximately 2 Km from the sea.

Activities

Ikarian Centre is a Greek language school for adults. We have been organizing Greek as a second language courses for adults since 1995. Our experience allows us to organize a wide range of activities, from Greek language courses at various levels, to traditional dance classes and hikes in mountains of the area. If you choose to stay with us, you will participate in indoors and outdoors activities such as:

  • Hiking and olive picking
  • Traditional dance lessons
  • Lectures
  • Singing and cooking evenings
  • Film screenings

Accommodation

Each of our guests has his own private 20m2 room in our guesthouse. You do not share your room with other guests you do not know in advance. You can share your room with a friend who is traveling with you, for an additional cost as mentioned below. All rooms have heating, a private bathroom, a small kitchenette and can accommodate up to two people. High-speed Internet is available in the rooms and in all areas of the facility, both indoor and outdoor

The Center’s guesthouse is located right next to the course / work area, in a quiet mountainous location, not far from the sea. We are located in a magical spot on the island, 1.5 km away from the settlement of Arethousa and 3 km from the seaside Karavostamo, in direct contact with the natural environment.

The view of the sea and the mountain, as well as the starry sky on clear nights, is enchanting. You will experience the peace and relaxation that direct contact with nature gives to a person’s everyday life. The common areas of the facilities help contact with other guests, as well as the isolation of someone who wishes to be alone for some hours, thus supporting the development of a healthy sociability among the guests.
