Which is the best Greek island for a digital nomad?
Simon Calder answers your questions on working remotely around the world, planning future trips and travelling from a tier 3 location
Q I have the good fortune to be a “digital nomad” working in tech, and therefore can base myself anywhere. After a couple of months in London, I am keen to find places which might be brighter and more relaxed over the next couple of months. I’ve decided to spend a week in Athens, but don’t know where to go after that. A Greek island would be great, but how do you choose? And after that, I’ve also heard that Turkey’s Mediterranean coast is lovely, and I am keen to visit Cappadocia in central Turkey. So, what do you recommend?

A “Working from Greece” sounds an ideal proposition for November and December, and Athens is the place to start. You will see the capital at its most tourist-free, and it will feel more relaxed than London. While masks are de rigueur on public transport and in shops, even late in the year a fair amount of time is spent outdoors – so you can settle down with your laptop at a cafe in the shadow of the Acropolis (the peak in the centre of the city) and feel inspired as well as lucky.
