Maybe you can see the house from google maps. What exactly are you looking for?
 
The picture from Google Maps ist from 2011 or 2012.
I only want to know, how the house looks like: maybe broken windows, there were solar and rain system.
I think, a lot is gone away. But thats not the problem.
Maybe some refugees live there. I dont know.
Only the look at the moment.
 
I think it will be better to contact a local photographer in Loutraki.
I usually stay in the Club hotel casino there at least 3-4 days but not this year, we can't travel o/s. If I had a house there I would be going at least every couple years.

I would, but I just left my home in Athens to go to my village in Northern Greece. Maybe you could reach out to a local photographer as someone else suggested?

Hmmm yes, maybe contacting a local photographer would be a bit more trustworthy, although expensive. Or maybe someone from the city/town?

You need to be careful. I believe that Greece has adverse possession laws. If someone else is living in your place for a period of time, they can claim it as theirs. Better check with your Greek lawyers.

Ive heard of this happening too....these laws can change as well so its hard to stay up to date when you're living abroad. This is something that I struggle with the most
 

Taking the Ferry to Mykonos?

I am planning a trip for Greece next year to Greece. I usually fly into Athens and then fly into a place like Santorini or Mykonos from there.

I plan to go to Mykonos next summer and I am kind of sick of flying.

Is the ferry situation easy from Piraeus? Is this a better option than airplanes?

Someone told me I could wait until the last minute and buy the tickets that day, but I am not sure I feel comfortable with that...

Ancient Eleusis Archaeological Site

I have been to Athens several times, and I didn't know this place existed. Ithas caught my interest due to its rich mythology and pivotal role in ancient Greek religious life.

I understand that Eleusis was a significant center for religious practices, most notably the Eleusinian Mysteries—secret ceremonies held in honor of Demeter and Persephone. However, my knowledge barely scratches the surface, and I’m eager to learn more before my visit.

Has anyone visited it? I don't know much about it and I am trying to figure out if it is worth it. I love Ancient Greek history and mythology and this has the potential to be interesting to me on a lot of different levels.

Greek Mythology Sites in Athens?

I am visiting Athens and want a feel for where to go that pertains to Greek mythology.Of course, the Acropolis is on my list, but I wish to explore other places related to gods, goddesses, heroes, and their legendary tales as well.

For those of you who have ventured on similar quests or possess knowledge about Greek mythology's physical footprints in Athens, could you recommend:
  1. Must-visit sites that are deeply connected to Greek mythology.
  2. Any lesser-known locations that offer a unique insight into the myths.
  3. Tips for making the most out of these visits (best time to go, how to avoid crowds, etc.).
  4. Any resources (books, guides, websites) that could help deepen my understanding of the myths associated with these sites.
I’m extremely excited about this trip and looking forward to your recommendations and insights! Thanks!

Best Shopping in Athens

My wife and I are going to Greece in a few days. We both like to shop (her more than me) but we've never actually had enough time in Athens to explore the shopping.

Where should we go?

Someone told us Monastiraki is a good choice, but are there other places? We'll have a few days to poke around.
