We had such an amazing home exchange with Eva through "people like us"! This was a non-synchronous exchange—while we were enjoying her home in Afitos, a lovely family from Croatia was staying at our place in Edinburgh. As this was our first time, Eva was truly a fantastic mentor, guiding us through everything. Our arrival was seamless, and from the moment we walked in, we were so impressed. The photos on her PLU profile don't do the place justice—it was so much more comfortable and welcoming than we even expected. Her home was absolutely spotless and came fully equipped with everything we could possibly need, from plenty of towels to beach gear. Best of all, there were tons of games for children, and our 4-year-old was entertained the entire trip! The only small suggestion for future guests would be to add a large chopping knife to the kitchen, but we made do just fine! To top it off, she'd left us some water, a bottle of wine, and local leaflets when we arrived. It was also a huge help when she asked if we could prepare her place for a back-to-back exchange right after our stay. We were more than happy to do it. She checked in with us every single day to make sure we were doing well, which was so thoughtful. The double beds were super comfortable, and while the single beds had slightly firmer mattresses, they were still perfectly clean and comfortable. The air conditioning was a lifesaver! Eva's recommendations for beaches, sightseeing, and restaurants were spot-on and made our trip so much better. We loved exploring the village of Afitos and found some awesome local spots just a short walk from her place. We highly recommend Ta Mpakaliarakia for the best seafood platter and Saboro for delicious local sausages and Greek dishes. For dessert, we fell in love with Fatsaki ice cream. They were incredibly honest, too—we accidentally dropped 5 euros, and they found it and gave it back to us the next day! We also took some time to explore the area, visiting the incredible Petralona caves and the Byzantine Museum. Halkidiki is stunning, and the information Eva gave us about the three peninsulas was so useful. We even did a fantastic Toroneos Kassandra Cruise, which you can find out more about by emailing boat_adventure@yahoo.gr. Eva's hospitality, flexibility, and all the little details made our first-ever home exchange an experience we'll never forget. Everything turned out perfectly, and we are so excited to organize our next adventure on the PLU platform again! -
Thank you for your beautiful feed back, as well as for preparing my home for the next guests! Much appreciated! Hope we meet some day in Edinburgh!

We came to Eva's home in the off season. We've heard Afytos is very busy in summer but was quiet during our trip (which was fine by us). We had plenty of room to spread out at Eva's house, we enjoyed the living room with two couches and a view out across town. There are a couple of restaurants, a market and a wonderful bakery within walking distance. We had a car so there were three nearby towns within 10 minutes with even more options. We also took some road trips around Halkidiki, to Thessaloniki and even over to Vergina and Veria. Eva was easy to contact and always available whenever we had questions, she's a great host. Eva left us some wonderful treats when we arrived which we greatly appreciated. We look forward to welcoming her and her family to Phuket in 2026! -
Eva is an incredibly kind person, and we had wonderful communication with her. She responded to every message, offered advice, and gave us tips on where to go and what to see. She also provided us with a guidebook to Afytos and the surrounding area. Afytos is a charming town with many lovely stone houses, delicious restaurants (we highly recommend the one closest to the house, Sobboro), and crystal-clear waters where fish swim right by your feet. The house is in a perfect location – in a quiet area, yet just a 1-2 minute walk from the center of Afytos. The house is spacious, comfortable, and has air conditioning in every room. The kitchen is equipped with everything one might need (and even more!). An additional highlight is the large balcony, where you can always hear the sound of cicadas. I wholeheartedly recommend Eva as a host and Afytos as a fantastic vacation destination. -
If Greece is on your travel wishlist, Eva's home is a great choice. Eva is an incredible host. Not just that we found a beautiful and confortable house, with a great view over the village and even to the see, but Eva put lots of effort for our stay. She went and picked an order we made at Ikea's. She even bought some toys for our daughter to find at her home. I can't even remember all the little details she took care of before our arrival. We were impresed with all the effort she made for our stay in her house. We were travelling with small kids and most of the time we needed to be away from the noise. Eva's home is 5 minutes walk to the vibrant village center, but everything we could hear was the birds singing. If we needed something Eva responded within minutes, sometimes seconds even if she had a busy schedule, travelling as well. Thank you, Eva, for a great experience and for being the host everyone wishes for! -
We spent one wonderful week with our family in Eva's amazing apartment. This is the best place if you would like to rest and if you want to enjoy the most beautiful beaches of Greece. Afytos is only 80 km from Thessaloniki. This city is a jewelry box full of very good restaurants, cafes, shops, bustling life. This very clean and fully-equipped (and equipped with air conditioning) apartment is a few steps from the bustling city center, but you can still relax here in perfect silence. This was our second meeting in home exchange with Eva. I love her, she is very nice and friendly, giving a lot of ideas and very easy to communicate with her. Don't hesitate to make a change with them! I can only recommend them!
