If you are thinking about renting a Greek island house in charming, picturesque surroundings, do take a look at my houses on the islands of Samos and Leros. I bought them up in 2004, and spend a lot of time doing them up until 2010 - this included a long sabbatical and many wheelings and dealings with Greek workmen.
The houses are situated in picturesque, traditional villages, never too far away from beaches, shops and tavernas...
My houses on Leros and Samos are built in the island village style - thick stone walls, wooden beams, 2 floors high. While renovating them, I have taken great care to respect and retain their character. They can be rented both during winter and summer. So if you want to experience a touch of Greek life in a real Greek home, have a look at what follows. Each house is presented in detail - descriptions, photos, practicalities. Just click on the links below...

ps: I can recommend combining Leros and Samos in one holiday. The islands are only 2 hours apart (by hydrofoil, it's a lovely 6-hour trip on the slow boat) and are distinctly different. Both islands have airports and aren't too difficult to reach from abroad. I'd be happy to provide you with any information you need.
