Ask HN: Nice place to work for a month near the beach with good wifi in Europe?
I am a contractor based in London who is taking some time off to work on a few of my own ideas.
I am planning on doing this from a few different locations around Europe and wanted to check if the HN community had any suggestions.
Requirements:
1) Close to the beach
2) Not a big city
3) Good wifi
I plan to rent an apartment with wifi through airbnb for a month but if you know of coworking space which meets my requirements please let me know.
- rudasn 13y agoshameless plug, but check out Cyprus. there are a lot of Brits here during the summer and for good reason. protaras/ayia Napa have the best beaches but limassol may provide you with better WiFi and perhaps better prices. it's a small island and if you rent a car you can get to a beach within 30 minutes wherever you are. larnaca is also nice and you may find a cheaper place to stay there. let me know if you're interested
- Peroni 13y agoCork in Ireland is a good option. There are tons of towns near the beach. Kinsale is one of the more impressive places that springs to mind.
- meerita 13y agoI would recommend Barcelona, Spain. Not needed on the Barna main beaches, but I would go to the outer small towns with beach access like Caldes d'Estrac or Ocata, etc. Really relaxed towns, with clean water and sand. I go there all weekends to relax.

- kewball 13y agoThanks for all the suggestions. I have been to Crete before and loved it. I also plan on getting fit and healthy while I am there so perhaps the fresh fruit and veg from the market off La Rambla in Barcelona will be better for me then all the lovely gyros in Crete.
