Services
I live next door, so I’m mostly there to help with whatever you need.
Airport transfer for 26€
If you take a taxi from the airport, have in mind there is a hidden north exit (no signs, but one saying: access only with special permit) so that you take the motorway for a fee and drive double the distance to come to Nea Makri, if the taxi driver is not quite honest. Otherwise you pay around 28€.
I’ll be more than happy to pick you up for 26€, and also drive you through some scenic backcountry roads. For an additional 4€ (total 30€), I’ll also take you to the supermarket. The fridge in the apartment, is big.
Guided Excursions
The surrounding area of Nea Makri offers a lot of sightseeing.
I have been a dedicated endurance hiker for many years, last six years mostly barefoot. I have explored a lot of areas around my home, up to a 35 Km radius mostly on foot. Furthermore, I have traveled a lot around Greek nature in the past, being active in many hiking clubs, and doing camping.
Excursions are made up of a combination of hiking and car driving.
Small excursions starting from the apartment on foot: up to 2,5 hours – 10€, otherwise 5€ per hour.

We also have a very nice weekly street market every Thursday with a big variety in fruits and vegetables. Products here often come from smaller villages, taste better and have less chemistry than in the supermarket.
