I had a lovely brief stay with Caroline in a beautiful town outside of thessaloniki. Her home, son and pets are lovely and she treated me with lots of hospitality, tips and good conversation in exchange of light house tasks. Together we decluttered a room and I was given very clear communication throughout. Caroline is a kind and vibrant character… read more

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Caroline's place.
All though we didn't stay that long we instantly felt at home and welcomed.
The two cats and the dog where absolutely lovely and we will definitely miss them.
So if you get the chance to stay with Caroline, take it!

Caroline is an amazing person and host. She is authentic, smart, funny, hip and easy to be with. Christos is a seriously cool young man, and the animals are lovely. The apartment by the sea was beautiful, and Caroline and Christos were unbelievably comfortable sharing it. The work was minimal - it felt a bit more like couchsurfing! You're lucky if… read more

I had a great experience at Caroline's-- she's incredibly laid back and accommodating, and Christos is the sweetest. I was able to take an intensive Greek course while living at her place, and it was fantastic, especially given how difficult it is to find housing in Thessaloniki as the students return in September. Thank you for hosting me… read more

Lily stayed with us for a month. She is very reliable, trustworthy and helpful person. Since my job is to concentrate on my work and my son, I didn't have to worry about how the pets were doing as Lily has it under control. She helped improve my work - life balance. Such a relief!

Over the last year I have hosted some truly amazing people. But both Julia and Hubert stand out. My son stills talks about them nearly 10 months after they stayed with us.
They both are fundamentally happy people. Julia is the silent strength and Hubert her knight in shining armour! We learnt so much from them both. My son learnt that English can… read more

She has a bag saying: "Green is not just a color, it is a philosophy". We could paraphrase that about Caroline. Wish we met people like her more often. She is welcoming, warm-hearted, unassuming, unprejudiced, and immensely generous. The three weeks we spent there have charged us for the entire rest of the year. She also has the loveliest pets… read more

I've been staying in Caroline's house and I'm going to leave this place a week later. This was my first workaway experience. I had incredible days. Caroline is the most polite and thoughtful person I've ever met.

A late reply sorry New Years Happened, and travel! Your beautiful home overlooking the promanade of Thessaloniki and the waterfront was a welcome site, with all the sculptures and history.

I must say that I was very impressed with Lara, it takes a lot of to leave the comfort of your home to volunteer in a totally unfamiliar environment at such a young age.
