A Day in the Life

What a workday looks like from Villa Alexandrou

07:00

Wake to mountain light. Coffee on the courtyard terrace while the village stirs.

08:00

Deep work at the standing desk. Stone walls, no traffic, no distractions.

10:30

Break. Wander the village through its narrow stone roads. Fresh air, no rush.

11:00

Video standup with the team. Clear connection, quiet background.

13:00

Lunch at the outdoor dining table. Village tomatoes, olive oil, fresh bread.

14:00

Afternoon focus block. The thick stone keeps the house cool without effort.

17:00

Wrap up. Swim in the pool, or hike to the gorge above the village.

19:30

Dinner at a village taverna. Slow-cooked Cretan food, local wine, mountain air.

21:00

Evening reading on the terrace. Or stargazing — zero light pollution.
