“A goal without a plan is just a wish.”
— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Relocating to Greece can be a dream come true, but without the right guidance, it can also become overwhelming. We spoke with Eleftheria Stefanou, founder of Especially Concierge & Relocation Services agency, about what relocation concierge services truly involve and why they are essential for a seamless move.
Relocating abroad is exciting, but also challenging. What makes moving to Greece particularly complex?
Relocating to another country is one of life’s most demanding transitions. Greece offers an extraordinary lifestyle, but navigating a new legal framework, Greek bureaucracy, real estate practices, and often a new language can quickly become overwhelming.
Many people underestimate the administrative procedures required before and after arrival. Without expert local support, what begins as a dream can turn into stress. That’s precisely where a relocation concierge becomes essential.
What exactly does a relocation concierge do?
A relocation concierge is not a moving company. We are a strategic partner managing the entire relocation journey on behalf of our clients. At Especially Relocation agency, we act as a single, trusted point of contact. From early planning to final settlement, we coordinate every element of the move. Our role is to simplify complexity, anticipate challenges, and ensure that each decision aligns with our client’s lifestyle, priorities, and timeline.
It’s a fully personalized, proactive service and much of our work happens discreetly behind the scenes.
Property search is often the biggest concern for newcomers. How do you approach it?
Finding the right home in Greece requires far more than browsing listings online. Many premium properties, especially those suited to international clients seeking privacy, quality, or long-term investment value, never appear on public platforms. We collaborate with evaluated, high-level real estate partners and have access to off-market opportunities. Rather than navigating multiple agents and conflicting information, our clients receive a curated property shortlist aligned with their criteria. We pre-screen properties, organize efficient viewings, and provide insight not only about the home itself but also about the neighborhood, infrastructure, and long-term potential. It’s informed decision-making with local intelligence.
Beyond housing, what other aspects do you manage?
True relocation support extends far beyond property acquisition. We coordinate utilities, internet, mobile services, banking appointments, and household setup, often before our clients even arrive in Greece. For families, this may include guidance on neighborhoods and international schools. For executives or individuals, it can involve domestic staff sourcing, interior support, or lifestyle services. Every detail is handled with precision so that our clients arrive with confidence, not uncertainty.
What do you consider the biggest advantage of hiring a relocation concierge?
Clarity and peace of mind.
Instead of managing multiple providers, timelines, and language barriers, clients work with one dedicated local expert overseeing the entire process. This ensures consistency, accountability, and discretion at every stage.
The experience becomes structured, efficient, and turnkey, rather than fragmented and stressful.
Who benefits most from relocation concierge services?
Anyone who values their time and wants a smooth, well-managed transition.
Our clients include professionals relocating for work, families seeking stability, investors exploring opportunities, and individuals beginning a new life chapter in Greece. They all share one common priority: they prefer expert handling of complex logistics rather than navigating unfamiliar systems alone.
Is relocation concierge a luxury service?
It’s an investment in simplicity.
