Coming back for the second time around — Live the Greek getaway of your dreams on Paros island in a villa complex complete with two pools, seven villas, and an absolutely epic crew of Citizens.

We have space to accommodate up to 25+ Nation members in all seven villas on the property making this the biggest Citizens house yet! Sitting directly between Santorini, Ios, and Mykonos, Paros is in the center of it all, it’s the perfect spot to begin your Greece island-hopping adventures. The entirely new and modern villa complex is 150 meters from the sea and a short walk to the center of the scenic town of Naoussa.

What’s included in the price? • A ready-for-move-in bed in either a private or shared room in a house exclusively for Citizens.• In person RY Staff support.• Planned local experiences and services that you can join for a fee.• Wifi connection at the house. What’s not included in the price? • Transport to your accommodation.• Workspace access since there is no workspace on the island. • Tracks—We don’t have any experiences included in the price but we will still be planning some local experiences prior to arrival for an additional fee Who will be living at the Citizen House? Our five (hopefully seven) villas, are exclusive to Remote Year Nation members and their guests (hello, Friends and Family benefit). You can view the names of other participating Citizens in table below and interact with your future housemates on Nation Slack. If we don’t fill all seven villas, there may be other non-RY guests staying in those un-filled villas. How do I get to the island? The most common way to get to Paros is to fly to Athens, Santorini or Myconos & then continue your trip with a ferry. This takes between approx 4 hours with the slowest boat from Athens up to 40 mins with the fastest boat from Myconos. That’s the time range you need to calculate.
There is also an airport on the island if you choose to fly directly to Paros and opt out of the ferry.
Getting around the island Our Villas are around 3 minutes driving, 6 minutes biking, or 20 minutes walking from the beautiful historic town of Naoussa, and about 150 meters from the beach! You can walk or bus around town very affordably, and there will be rental car or rental scooter options available as well if you really want to cruise about! Is there a workspace nearby? Although there is no workspace on the island of Paros, we found last year that the house had good wifi, with most Citizens working from one of the many long tables at the complex. There are a few cafes in town we also found with decent wifi that we will recommend closer to the start date. Wifi can be a challenge on the Greek islands and we strongly recommend getting enough data loaded onto you SIM card to use it as a hot spot/back up plan. How will Villa assignments work? We’ll have room assignments spelled out clearly upon arrival matching what you selected and paid for. There are LOTS of beautiful common spaces around the property where we’ll all probably spend most of our time regardless of what room you end up in! Bed size might vary slightly depending on rooms, but everyone should be comfortable and in the room style they selected! Also, if you have a friend who wants to join and have their own room or bed in a shared room, you can purchase that for them via the Marketplace and then have them pay you back! Can I bring a plus one? Yes! We love to have couples and friends join in on the Citizen House fun! The additional charge per night for a guest or couples is $150 a week. This option is available for purchase on the Marketplace and if your guest is staying for less than the week you are booking, reach out to [email protected]. When is the full payment due? Payment for theGreece Citizen House is due in full upon booking and is non-refundable after 24hrs from the time of booking. Rooms are first come first serve via the Marketplace. If RY, in consultation with ISOS, determines that it is unsafe to operate in any of the planned Global Access cities, Citizen Houses or Citizen Events locations, RY reserves the right to cancel any upcoming Global Access city, Citizen Houses or Citizen Events OR to offer an alternative.
