I am still looking for a single non-smoking person or couple to watch my two dogs and keep my yard,plants and trees reasonably watered while I am away working in Russia this winter season.The apartment is slightly off the grid in the southern suburbs of Athens,with a large fenced in yard, one kilometer from the beach and situated in a very quiet and green neighborhood.It is a bit of a hike to get into the city proper but bus routes do serve the area and travel time to the center of Athens is approximately one hour to 75 minutes, depending on traffic, weather, etc.There is also bus service to the train which can get you anywhere in the city you need to go.There are two small supermarkets , a bakery and a pharmacy within walking distance, as well as a good stretch of the coastline. The winters here are quite mild,and I rarely need to use the central heating.I have a fireplace and space heater which work fine when the weather becomes too cold or damp.I have full internet access to surf the web and stay in touch with the world. I believe this would be a great sit for an artist or a writer who wants some peace and quiet to work in a natural setting without being totally isolated. It is also a great place to run and/or bicycle due to minimum traffic and plenty of fresh air.My dogs are very low maintenance because they run around the yard all day,but being rescues they need the human touch,a good bit of petting and grooming , and the odd wrestle every once in awhile. The fact that there are two of them and that they are used to being free outside all day,frees up time to explore the city and/or surrounding areas, ruins, museums,etc without having to constantly worry about getting them out for walks. If this sounds like a fit for you and you'd like to experience Greece in the off season when it's not so sweltering hot, please do get in touch. I still URGENTLY need to fill this sit.
