Author of “Ursula’s Ikaria”
Rainer has been there since January 2014
My first vacation to Greece was in 1977. The Greek friends I met that summer helped me get an internship in Athens at “Athens News,” which was then still called, three years later after completing my history and journalism studies Daily newspaper appeared. So I lived in a shared apartment in Athens for 15 months. In 1982 we went back to Germany. I worked in various press offices there before setting up my own business in 2000. Since then I have been working as a freelance editor and proofreader for various German and international publishers and agencies. Three years ago I also took over the website www.pure-places.de from a friend, through which travelers to Greece can search for and book “accommodation off the beaten tourist path”. The first visit to Ikaria in 1999 left lasting impressions. For several years I have been living in Christos Raches for most of the year. The possibilities of working more or less location-independently using the Internet are very helpful to me.
