Affordable accommodation and co-working for digital nomads
Greece, island Ikaria
combined with activities
from 196€/week, winter sessions
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.
Accommodation
Each of our guests has his own private room in the Ikarian Center guesthouse. You do not share your room with other guests you do not know beforehand. You can share your room, sometimes at no extra cost, with a friend traveling with you, regardless of whether or not the friend is participating in our courses or activities. All rooms are heated, equipped with private bathroom and kitchenette and can accommodate up to two people. The center’s guest house is located right next to the course/work area, in a quiet mountain location, not far from the sea. We are located in a magical part of the island, 1.5 Km away from the settlement of Arethousa and 3 Km from the seaside Karavostamos, 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 calm and relaxation that direct contact with nature gives to a person’s daily life. The common areas of the facilities help contact with other residents, as well as isolation, thus supporting the development of a healthy sociability among the guests.
