Crete & Gavdos

Turns out, the party was a full blast. Not only did I get to know a group of wonderful people, I also made my premiere as a DJ on Gavdos. Yes, you heard that right, I worked as a DJ in the Αιώρα (Aora) beach bar at Sarakiniko! 🪄🪁🎧️🎶

The Aora bar is a lovely little place, where people can relax or sleep in hammocks under the trees in the shade, while being served drinks or dishes by the wonderful Maryka and Tomas, who are exceptionally welcoming hosts. 🏝️🥗

With all the people I met, we became a group of around 8-9 DJs (and one music curator) from Germany, Austria and Greece playing music from midday into the night, each playing one set after the other depending on the mood. We kept playing electronic music, French music, African music, Greek music, and even German music. The nights were only interrupted by concerts from Greek live musicians, which either played traditional Cretan instruments like the Lyra, or mixed their instrument with electronic music to create something new. 🧚🧜🧞

From here on, my holidays turned into one long musical festival (and we danced the nights aways). 🎶🏝️🫶Read more
