Enjoy your life in Naxos, very beautiful and unique. My advice is to do lightweight pieces. :) The cost of living there is very pleasant, much cheaper than in Mykonos. And the materials can be collected by yourself or purchased in nearby towns.
Les coûts: Frais du voyage + alimentaire. Les gains un belle espace de travail et des rencontres. The costs: Travel expenses + food. The gains: a beautiful workspace and meetings.
The place is perfect for any creative process, as it is located above the city, but still a part of it. So you can catch both - the vibe of solitude and energetic vibe of the island with all habitats and tourists. The host is very hospitable, thoughtful, with great taste and understanding of the process.
