A private home concierge for members who own a holiday home or apartment in Athens and live abroad. Yanis has your home ready before you land, takes care of the errands while you're here, and closes it up properly when you leave.
A concierge for your home, not a hotel. From the Athens Riviera to the northern suburbs and the city centre, Yanis takes care of the practical side of owning a home in Athens, so your time here is spent enjoying it.

Groceries and essentials waiting for you when you walk in.
A trusted driver arranged to meet you at Athens airport.

Ad-hoc shopping, collections and local errands.

Members only, quoted first. Concierge is a member service, used only when you need it. Every request is quoted before anything goes ahead, and groceries and third-party costs are passed on at cost.
When you live in London, Tel Aviv, Dubai, New York or Sydney, every trip to your Athens home starts with jobs: airing, cleaning, shopping, chasing a tradesperson. Then it ends the same way, closing everything up in a rush before your flight.
The first day of every stay spent cleaning instead of relaxing.
Nothing in the house, and a supermarket run before you can sit down.
Days spent waiting in for deliveries and tradespeople who don't show.
Laundry, rubbish, water and shutters, all on the morning you fly.
A quick WhatsApp with your arrival, who is coming and what you need. Yanis confirms the plan and the quote before anything goes ahead.
Cleaned and aired with Yanis on site, beds made, water back on, AC or heating running and the fridge stocked, so it feels lived in when you arrive.
A trusted driver arranged to bring you straight home.
Deliveries, errands and any tradespeople you need, coordinated and supervised by Yanis, so your days stay free.
Yanis closes up the home after you: linens washed, rubbish out, water valves off, shutters down and a photo update on WhatsApp. Then your monthly visits carry on until you're back.
Most concierge companies in Athens serve tourists, yachts and events. Home Watch Athens serves something more personal: international homeowners and the homes they keep in Athens.
That's why it's members only. Yanis already knows your home from his monthly visits, holds the only set of keys, and handles every request himself.
No rotating staff. Yanis is the sole keyholder for every member home.
For holiday homes and empty apartments. No Airbnbs or rental guests.
Every supplier, driver and tradesperson handled in Greek for you.
Nothing goes ahead without your approval. Receipts for every purchase.
Yanis spent 15 years in London before returning to Athens, and owns homes here himself. He knows what it's like to arrive after a long flight to a house that's been closed for months.
Because he visits every member home each month, he already knows where the valves are, how the AC behaves and what your home needs before you ask. More about Yanis →
