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!
Panos and Demi were the perfect guests, and Eva the perfect coordinator! Our communications were clear - we zoomed prior to the exchange, and set up a WhatsApp group chat to communicate throughout their visit.
My condo was sparkling clean, with all the sheets and towels washed. A lovely gift of some Scottish whisky which I will be sampling soon.
If you have the chance to host Panos and Demi - and Eva if she can make it, you will have a wonderful exchange!
Liz
I wish everyone such guests!
Eva and her lovely family spent one week in our home.
Very kind persons, quick communication, after two exchanges it was as if we were already friends.
And they left a lot of wonderful gifts as a thanks gift!
We welcome them again anytime!
So, don't hesitat to accept their request!
I recommend them!
Eva’s husband and son just stayed in my apartment whilst we were away on another swap. They were perfect guests and Eva is a great communicator. They left delightful Greek gifts and a lovely clean house. Happy to recommend them.
Thank you, you are always welcome to our place, as well!
Klaudia and her family spent a couple of weeks at my home, which they respected and left clean. Nice and kind family which we totally recommend! Thank you Maja for your drawings and thank you for your presents! Looking forward to meeting you in Norway :-)
This was very nice exchange, we stayed almost 2 weeks in Evas home. Home is very good located, almost in centrum but it‘s very quiet. The house is well equipped. We have had exellent kontakt with Eva from the beginning to the end. Afytos and surroundings are beautyfull, see is clear, people nice, food delicious. I deeply reccoment do Exchange and meet Eva! ❤️
Violeta and her beautiful family stayed to our home for a couple of weeks. They were very respectful, very kind and we had good communication all the time. In fact, we consider them as friends, now. Hope one day we will also visit them in Bucharest,
We are looking forward to meeting you again! We really hope you will come to Bucharest someday. Our daughter hopes to met your grown up kids :)
My husband and my adult daughter stayed a week at Liz's home.
The home itself was clean and beautiful. Its location could not be better, as it is near the public transport and this makes it convenient for the guest to explore San Francisco.
Liz was kind and communicative, always there (on WhatsApp group, I mean) to help at no time!
I would also like to add that this was a last minute exchange (very short notice, 10 days before the trip) and Liz was very willing to help! Thank you Liz for your hospitality! Panos and Demi had a great time! You are always welcome to Greece!
Thank you Eva, Panos and Demi. You made the exchange easy and Panos and Demi were wonderful guests. Come back anytime!
We had a lovely time at Judit's and Illes' house! Budapest is a very beautiful city and the house itself is peaceful, with a lovely garden, located at a nice village, Vacratot, outside Budapest. Judit was a wonderful hostess and always keen to reply every question we had! Thank you Judit, Illes, Eszter! We consider you as friends and you are always welcome to our home :-)
Nice & smooth exchange, for a globe. The house is well located and near public transport. Lorraine & her daughter were very helpful with a lot of information, regarding London area. Certainly, recommended.
Judit and her family are very kind and friendly people. They took care of my home, as if it was their home. They left it perfectly clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend them as guests (and as hosts as well, since I have also stayed at their home, in Budapest). Judit, Illes, Eszter really wish you all the best :-)
