Nicholas is a manager of 6 five star hotels in Greece. As an investment and on the basis of his own ideas, he is the first in Greece to have developed and produced a new type of electric cars that cost only 5,000 EUR! First, read his interview!
>10.06.2018< We have spent the past few days exploring the beautiful and lively island of Paros, where we have met many different people, each with their own unique story and relationship with this piece of land…
>08.06.2018< The island of Syros is a very interesting place, with a serene atmosphere and an array of creative, open-minded people that make the land’s energy pulse even more.
MED Land Project caught up with a few of them and here is a short introductory video to their stories.
A few days ago we landed on Syros, the capital island of the Cyclades group in the Aegean sea.
It is not biggest of them all.
It is not situated in the centre.
It is neither greener nor does it have more diverse resources than the other islands.
It has a very particular history that dates back centuries and when the Turks took over many of the neighbouring islands. Syros was wealthy enough to pay the Turks to let them free.
Hermopolis, the capital of Syros, was for a short time the capital of Greece, as well as the country’s most important port. The island even features an university department and the first high school in Greece was founded in Ermopolis.
There are around 25.000 people living in Syros all year round.
Just like every island has its own mineral formation that creates the pulse of life, Syros is one of a kind. For islanders, this still feels like the “centre of the world”.

MAY 2018: After one year, Nalu landed on this divine island once again. The first person we came across that morning was Yiannis. We embraced like we really fell, like old friends … I asked him about the news since we last saw each other, and in the next 10 minutes, I was already recording his great achievements in challenging his biggest fear, oil. See the end of the Yiannis story: MAKE IT LIVABLE!
After two weeks sailing through the Mediterranean sea from Croatia, we are now in the island of Syros, in the Cyclades, already meeting many interesting islanders for the project.
The French-Croatian crew had to return to their own horizons, and Medland is now looking for one new soul to be part of the project, from now (27/05) to the 23 of June 2018!
The fields of work will, of course, be related to the photo/film storytelling method:
Your task will be to be involved by documenting with film and photography, by working on the making-off of the project.
It is very important that you have some experience and basic skills on the sea and sailing to be active also on the way from islands to islands.
You will live on our beautiful wooden boat “Nalu“, in your own cabin. And vegetarian meal will be provided!
being part of this project will allow to really get an experience in the realisation of a photographic and journalistic project. That can really be unique!!
Nalu is now in the Cyclades, the Aegean side of Greece, on the island of Syros, and the next destination is the island of Paros. You will be able to join me by ferry or by (cheap) flight from Athens!
Then we will be sailing the sea via Naxos, more to the Turkish side, to smaller islands, like Lipsi, Fourni… and ending up the trip on Chios (next toTurkey) around 23th of June!
First sail in the Aegan sea today….
After spending a beautiful morning with Ester Van Zuylen(Story here.)we sailed out a bit late from the beautiful Ithaka. VIDEO
