Arrival and departure preparation for your Greek home

Pre-arrival cleaning, fridge stocking, welcome arrangements, and end-of-stay closing. So your first hour in Greece is not spent at the supermarket.

There is a quiet luxury in walking through the door of your Greek home and finding it already aired, cleaned, stocked and ready to use. That is the version of arrival we coordinate.

Pre-arrival services

  • Full clean — kitchen, bathrooms, dusting, hoovering, mopping
  • Fresh linens and towels
  • Fridge and pantry restocking based on your shopping list
  • Welcome arrangement — flowers, wine, local products, anything you specify
  • AC pre-cooled or heating pre-warmed before you arrive
  • Airport transfer coordination (we work with vetted drivers)

Departure services

  • End-of-stay clean and inspection
  • Fridge cleared, perishables disposed
  • Plants watered, blinds drawn, AC switched off
  • All windows secured, alarm armed, mail held
  • Final photo report so you know your home is closed properly

How it is priced

Arrival and departure services are billed per stay, separately from your subscription. We quote based on property size and your shopping list. As a member, you get priority scheduling.

Scope and confirmation

You approve the checklist, third-party costs and access instructions before work begins. Cleaning, shopping, transport and other supplier costs are confirmed in the written quote. A request is not a confirmed appointment until Estia has accepted the date and scope in writing.

When this service is useful

Arrival preparation is designed for owners returning after a long absence, family members using the home, or an owner who needs the property opened and checked before travelling. Departure preparation creates a documented handover from occupied to vacant status before regular home checks resume.

What is not included automatically

Flights, accommodation, guest booking management, tenancy management, repairs and specialist contractor work are not part of an arrival or departure request unless they appear in the accepted written quote. Any issue found during preparation is photographed and referred to you before separately quoted work is authorized.
