    George’s home was by all means the best place we could have found in the area. Cute decoration, cozy architecture and fully equipped, as we used the kitchen at its full capacity. The beds are comfortable, the house is warm, and the living room...

Hello, I'm Giorgos, or you can call me George. I was born in Greece 42 years ago. Growing up in Athens, I spent my school years playing street basketball and strolling the vibrant streets of downtown Athens. At the age of 20, I embarked on a life-changing journey, moving to London to pursue my studies. This marked my first venture abroad, and the experience of connecting with people from diverse countries and cultures really opened up the doors to a world of travel and exploration. My strong passion for travel and nature sparked a love for mountain pursuits, including hiking and snowboarding. To be even closer to the snowy slopes and nature, I acquired a maisonette in the forest at an altitude of 1100 metres, near Greece's second-largest snow resort. After experiencing warm hospitality in similar properties during my own travels, I'm excited to step into the role as a host for fellow mountain enthusiasts. Join me in making memories surrounded by the natural beauty and excitement of the slopes. Come, be part of the adventure, and experience it for yourself!
🌿Surrounded by the stunning Helmos Mountains, you'll wake up to the soothing melodies of nature and enjoy fresh mountain air. The chalet-like apartment is a heaven for hikers, bikers, snow enthusiasts, mushroom hunters and anyone seeking tranquility. 🏞️ Discover the wonders of the region. Lake Tsivlou, the mesmerizing Mesorrougi Waterfall and the picturesque village of Zarouchla are just a stone's throw away, offering even more natural beauty and adventure. 🌄 If you're looking to enjoy hiking, horseback riding, 4x4/Enduro adventures or skiing/snowboarding, Agia Varvara and the neighboring villages of Nonakrida offer a myriad of outdoor activities. Moreover, whether you're seeking a leisurely stroll or an off-road adventure, the forest offers a variety of opportunities to connect with nature. The villages also host traditional festivals and cultural events throughout the year. 🍽️ Experience the true taste of Greece at nearby tavernas serving authentic dishes.
