Yanis checks your holiday home every month while it sits empty and sends you the photos on WhatsApp. One trusted person in Athens, so your holiday starts the moment you walk through the door.
Your membership covers one visit a month while you're away. Anything else, from repairs to a pre-arrival clean, is quoted first and only goes ahead with your approval.
Once a month Yanis lets himself in, works through the 12-point checklist and sends you the photos on WhatsApp.
When your home needs more than the monthly visit, Yanis quotes it first. Nothing goes ahead without your approval.
Tell Yanis about your holiday home. If it's a good match, he'll reach out personally with more details and arrange a brief intro call.
Yanis becomes the only keyholder for your home, and you get your member login the same day.
Once a month Yanis visits and sends you a photo report on WhatsApp. Before you arrive, he can have the home ready.
Yanis knows the routine because he lived it from London: land in Athens, drive to the house, and spend the first two days of your holiday airing rooms, scrubbing dust and chasing a plumber who was supposed to come in March.
When he moved back, he built the service he could never find. He holds your keys, answers your messages and walks through your home himself.
An empty home doesn't stay the way you left it. Water finds its way in. Humidity works quietly on walls and wardrobes through the winter. A tripped fuse switches off the fridge in October, and nobody notices until Easter.
Slow leaks, damp, pests and blocked drains grow for months before anyone sees them.
The first days of every stay disappear into cleaning and repairs.
The cousin or neighbour who keeps an eye on things checks less each year, and never sends photos.
Monthly visits catch problems while they're small, so your home is prepared, not discovered, when you arrive.
Having Yanis look after our holiday home in Athens has changed how we experience it. No more stress, no more holiday time spent fixing things, no more waiting for contractors who don't show up, and someone who can check it after storms or if anything happens. I can't imagine why anyone who owns a holiday home in Athens wouldn't choose this service!
Home Watch Athens, Founder Yanis takes personal commitment to the next level. Trustworthy, Attention to detail, and goes way beyond for every aspect. Highly recommended for anyone who has a second home in Athens.
Yanis looks after a limited number of homes, so every one gets his personal attention. That's why membership starts with a short application.
Your membership covers one Home Watch visit a month while your home is empty: about 60 minutes on site with a 12-point checklist, and a photo report on WhatsApp after every visit.
Everything else, including pre-arrival cleaning, maintenance, bills and admin, is a member service, quoted separately and only if needed.
Membership is one monthly fee for the monthly visit. Yanis confirms it after your application, once he knows where your home is and what it needs. It is billed monthly and you can cancel anytime. Member services are quoted separately before anything goes ahead.
It can. Many Greek home insurance policies include a vacancy clause that can limit cover if a property is left unattended for more than 30 consecutive days. Regular visits with timestamped photos give you a dated record that your home was checked. Your insurer or broker can confirm what your own policy requires.
No. Yanis looks after private holiday homes that stay exclusively yours: no guests, no rental turnover, no strangers with keys. He doesn't manage Airbnbs, bookings or rented homes.
Yanis covers all of Athens and the whole Attica region, with members in the Athenian Riviera (Ellinikon, Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, Voula), Kifisia, Politeia, Ekali and Athens city centre.
From city apartments to seafront homes on the Athenian Riviera.
Tell Yanis about your holiday home and how often you're away. He replies to every application within 24 hours, and if it's a good match, he'll arrange a brief intro call.
