I also work remote from a small northern Greece town and I would also totally recommend Crete. It is an island but it is pretty big and the weather is the best you can get in Greece. If you enjoy crowded places then you should look on Thessaloniki that has 1 million population and has the best night life in my opinion. There are also often flights to other parts of Greece and decent connection to most European cities. Also Chalkidiki is like 1 hour away by car and you can get the best beaches in Greece.
