We have been exchanging homes for around 28 years and have enjoyed many wonderful exchanges. We love being able to share our greek home with other families, and enjoy meeting people. Through home exchange we have made many lasting friendships. We find it a wonderful way to discover new places and to immerse ourselves in the cultures of new countries. Home exchange is ideal for us as we enjoy the freedom it gives us to see what we choose to, and not what is given on an arranged travel tour. We enjoy being outdoors, the arts, history and just life itself! We're happy to answer any questions about our home, Greece, what to see, climate etc. Please just ask us.

Read More...Artemida was very comfortable to stay in and close to many restaurants, shops and the beach. A car is very useful for travel around the area. Rafina is close by for travel to the islands. We were looked after very well with a pick up and drop off from Athens airport, lovely after a long flight. To see Greece from a different perspective I would recommend.

Read More...We spent three wonderful weeks in Heinz and Cynthia’s spacious villa. The location was perfect for almost daily walks to the beautiful sandy beach, where the water was warm and inviting! Along the beach, and towards town are several great tavernas, with amazing food, where we ate too much… but how could you not, everything was delicious! We had the use of their car, and were able to do fabulous day trips to Corinth, the Temple of Poseidon, etc. The bus stop is very close to the house, for convenient transport into Athens. From nearby Rafina we got a ferry to the island of Andros, which was also wonderful! Their villa is well equipped and comfortable, with a lovely patio under the grape vines! Gail was very helpful, and we enjoyed some of her home cooked meals. It was great to be immersed in Greek culture and lifestyle, yet almost everyone we met spoke some English, and that made things easy! We had a perfectly relaxing exchange, and left a little piece of our hearts in beautiful Greece!

Read More...Heinz and Cynthia, house is very large, clean and bright,it has enough beds and rooms for several people. The house also has a wonderful garden that in summer is a true paradise. The house is in a quiet area without noise, near the beach and a bus stop that connects in about 40 minutes with the Athens metro. Public transport in Athens is quite cheap and for 1 euro and 40 cents you are in the center of Athens from their home. They inform you before the conditions of the house and everything that you need for the exchange, as well as very useful information about the city. I feel very proud to exchange houses with people like Heinz and Cynthia, because they make the exchange easy and they are constantly worrying about any detail. Athens is one of the cities with more possibilities that I have visited, because both the city and the surroundings and even the visit to the islands is very comfortable from their home. We want to exchange with you again. An authentic luxury houses like that.

Nous avons été accueillis à l'aéroport par une amie anglaise. L'environnement de villas fleuries, avec de petites boutiques, une église où, le dimanche matin, on entend la messe chantée, est calme et pittoresque. Nous avons passé là une dizaine de jours très agréables. It was very pleasant to stay in Cynthia and Heinz's house, close to the beach, and convenient to visit Athens and other beautiful sites with their car.

Read More...A 100% satisfactory home exchange with four of us - three generations! - staying in Cynthia and Heinz's very spacious villa. We all occupied separate bedrooms and had plenty of personal space, with everything we could possibly need provided. The location is ideally situated with handy access to the beach, shopping, tavernas and cafés; plus the car was excellent for when we ventured further afield, which was very frequently. We used the house as our base over three very enjoyable weeks while we visited many places of interest, drawing upon the literature and info in the house for tips and inspiration. We took ferries to some of the islands from nearby Rafina; we spent a few nights in Athens and had a delightful stay in the Peloponnese region. Many thanks to our wonderful hosts.

Short drive to the metro or walk to the bus stop for day trips to Athens and centrally located for trips to Corinth, beaches, and other sights. The home was well stocked with kitchen essentials, beach towels, books, games, etc. Wish we could have stayed longer- so much to see and do!

We loved the fact that there was air conditioning a wide selection of DVDs and books. The location is ideal being an easy walk to the beach and restaurants. Thought the bus and metro service were wonderful making it so easy to get into Athens, and so cheap! We loved the bread from the mini market and the taverna prices were superb, as was the food. We had a very comfortable and relaxing fortnight, but ate and drank too much. That's what holidays are for!! Alison and Nikos were a great help.

Nos conseils pour des restaurants, cafés, shopping et activitiés à ne pas manquer
The beach is just 10 minutes walk away . There are lots of cafes, tavernas and bars nearby. Shops of all kinds are all within easy walking distance. Athens offers just about everything from ancient monuments and museums to traditional markets. The port of Rafina is a 10 minute drive. From here you can visit the islands of Andros, Tinos, Mykonos and Paros. Pireaus port is 40 minutes drive. From here you can visit many other Greek Islands. We are conveniently situated for interesting trips to Cape Sounion, Corinth, Delphi, Mycenae, Epidavros and many many places in Peloppones and Attica. To visit these places you will need the car. Athens has an excellent zoo and brand new water park. There are some very good nearby outlet centres for shopping sprees, cinemas etc. We are situated in a quiet beach town with an exciting, easy to reach, city nearby so there is lots see and do. After the bustle and hectic off Athens it's nice to enjoy the peace and quiet of Artemida!!
