Ok, quiting a successful banking job to open up a hotel business in a Greek island, could be a prologue for what will follow when I actually reach middle age, but is also a hell of a decision for someone who spent most of her life within the walls of a financial institution.
So here I am, in September, in Naxos, the biggest island of the Cyclades in Greece, trying to renovate my family's four beachfront maisonettes at Plaka beach!
That's me.
These are my maisonettes.
I'm not goint to bother you with the gruesome details of what it actually takes to do construction and design work in an island. I would rather share with you the beauties of this place in case you ever wish to visit, even during fall season.
So, this is Plaka beach and more specifically the part of the beach that's right in front of my house.
This is the silhouette of my beautiful cousin swimming - not really, but you get the idea.
This is me NOT swimming, but rather drinking coctails on the beach, at a hotel right next to my house. Believe it or not, this is business, yo!
This is how the sunset looks from my garden...
I have actually painted this photo. See the link below.

And these are some random pics of the surroundings and myself exploring the area.
Now, the question is; Would you visit my paradise and my boutique hotel next year? I'm thinking of accepting crypto payments 😃
See yoo soon!
