Description
--- No help needed at the moment. ---
I am Caroline, 57 yo, and 2024 promises to be a year of significant transformations for my family. My son is embarking on his journey to university, marking a major milestone in his life.
Since my son has moved out of Greece, I am slowly making arrangements to return to Belgium, my home country. This will be a phased process, starting with the sale of my apartment in Pylaia.
I live in Pylaia, on the outskirts of Thessaloniki in Northern Greece, and I'm preparing to sell my house. I need help with some home improvements, particularly with transforming the 20m2 front yard into an inviting entryway for the apartment. The help I need will primarily consist of DIY projects.
I'd like to mention that I have two cats, just in case anyone has allergies.

Lisa is in a league of her own. She has travelled across continents, she's got stories and knowledge that she is happy to share during evening discussions! During her stay, she wasn't just a guest - she was an absolute lifesaver. Her help and support came at exactly the right moment, and I can't even begin to express how much it meant to me… read more

Caroline is an awesome host, so funny and friendly we had the best stay with her, although it was short. She gave us loads of advice and tips for Greece and some of her favourite countries she's visited. We did light housework / helped declutter a room and in return Caroline was sooo hospitable!

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!

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
