Elliniko sits at the centre of The Ellinikon, Europe's largest urban regeneration project. An €8 billion development is transforming the former airport site into luxury residences, a coastal park, retail, and hotels. Property values have surged and international buyers are driving demand.
But a booming area with active construction is one of the worst places to leave a property unattended. Your Elliniko home needs someone checking on it now, not when you visit in summer.
The Ellinikon works affect surrounding buildings. Balconies, window seals, and drainage need regular clearing before build-up causes damage.
Water leaks, humidity, pests, and electrical faults develop unnoticed. A small leak left three months becomes mould across an entire wall.
Most Greek insurers void coverage if a property is unoccupied for more than 30 consecutive days without documented visits. No proof of checking means no payout.
Scheduled inspections, timestamped photo reports, insurance-compliant documentation, and construction impact monitoring. One person accountable year-round.
Everything your Elliniko home needs while you are away. Same comprehensive checklist on every visit.
Scheduled visits covering plumbing, humidity, electrics, doors, windows, balconies, and ventilation. Photo reports via WhatsApp after every visit.

Based in Athens with direct access to Elliniko. When something goes wrong, I can respond the same day.
Elliniko sits on the Athens Riviera between Alimos and Glyfada, 10 km south of the city centre. Metro, tram, and direct coastal access.
Ano Elliniko (residential east), Kato Elliniko (coastal, near the development), and Sourmena (north). Building stock ranges from 1970s polykatoikies to new-builds completed in 2024-2025.
Phase one targets completion by end of 2026: Riviera Tower, Experience Park, sports facilities, and Riviera Galleria. The Ellinikon Mall and Hard Rock Hotel follow in 2027. Active construction, road diversions, and infrastructure changes throughout.
New-builds near The Ellinikon start from €6,500/sqm, reaching €9,000+/sqm in tower developments. The area falls within the Attica Golden Visa zone (€800,000 minimum).
Dust, utility work, road changes, and noise are the reality right now. We know which streets are affected, which buildings face shared infrastructure changes, and what the polykatoikia notices actually say.
We cover all of Athens and the wider Attica region. Elliniko is a core service area, along with the Athens Riviera corridor (Alimos, Glyfada, Voula, Vouliagmeni), central Athens, and the northern suburbs.
Yes. Post-handover oversight is one of the most common reasons new-build buyers contact me. I can be at the property for snagging walkthroughs, coordinate any post-completion work, and begin regular inspections from the day you receive your keys.
Yes. Every visit is documented with timestamped photos and a written checklist. This creates a verifiable record that the property is being regularly attended to, which is exactly what insurers require to keep your vacancy clause valid.
This service is specifically designed for your situation. Without regular oversight, you risk insurance complications, undetected damage, and no representation in building management decisions. We give you a trusted person on the ground year-round.
Membership starts from €70 per month incl. 24% Greek Tax, billed monthly, and you can cancel anytime. All memberships use the same comprehensive inspection checklist.
No. We do not handle Airbnb listings, bookings or rented homes. Our service is best suited for holiday homes and empty apartments in Athens and the Attica region.
Yes. Polykatoikia assemblies decide shared costs, maintenance levies, and building rules. If you are overseas, I attend and represent your interests with a written proxy.
WhatsApp is the primary channel. Works across timezones, supports photos and voice notes, and gives you a running record of every update. Also available by email. You communicate directly with me, not a call centre.
You invested in one of the most exciting areas in Athens. Do not leave it unattended.
