This time I have a technology topic. It’s been almost two years since I’ve been living in the middle of an olive grove. The nearest village is about 2 km away. There is really nothing in my locality apart from the olives and the caravan I live in now. Not even electricity. Still, we’ve got it full of smart devices here!

A lovely friend of mine commented that she wasn’t really interested in how to keep the concrete from cracking, but rather how people live here… So a few bits and pieces from here.

What construction technology did we choose? What is ISOTEX and what are its advantages? You will find out in this article.

Are you considering building a house in Crete? If you have experience building a house in Central Europe, you might be quite surprised if you start building in Crete.

For many, living off-grid, i.e., without connection to the central electricity grid, is romantic and saves money. It’s wonderful not to have to pay astronomical electricity bills every month, especially in these days. But it is balanced by a higher one-time initial investment and then problems that one does not expect much at the beginning.
