What customers say about us
R. Bruno, R. Florence
Nous sommes tombés en amour pour l’ile d’Hydra et très vite nous avons chercher à acquérir une maison.
Nous avons été présenté à Penelopi Lampropoulou qui a bien compris notre besoin et nous a trouvé une maison qui correspondait à nos attentes.
Penelopi nous a aidé a entrer en contact avec un avocat et un entrepreneur local pour réaliser les travaux.
Elle a aussi fait le lien entre notre architecte et l’entrepreneur et surtout le lien à deux reprises pour la livraison de nos meubles sur l’ile.
Depuis, Penelopi gère notre maison en entière autonomie, et d’une main de maître. Nos séjours à Hydra, ne sont que plaisirs.
A chaque vacances, notre maison est prête et disponible. Penelopi est à l’écoute de nos remarques et de nos envies et réalisent et fait réaliser les travaux ou améliorations pendant nos absences. Elle est pour nous une personne indispensable à notre vie sur l’ile, maitrisant la culture locale de cette petite ile.
Grâce à elle, nous arrivons aussi à mieux nous intégrer.

To Whom It May Concern,
It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for Penelope Lampropoulou
(Popi), who has been our real estate agent and trusted advisor in Hydra for the past several years.
We first met when we were looking to purchase a house on the island. From the very beginning,
she took the initiative to guide us through the entire process identifying suitable properties,
coordinating with all relevant parties, and providing us with valuable advice at every stage.
Thanks to her dedication, professionalism, and deep understanding of the local market, the
purchase went smoothly and successfully.
Since the acquisition of our home approximately three years ago, Popi has continued to support
us far beyond the original transaction. She has assisted us in all matters related to the property,
including administrative issues and payments to local authorities. Our house is quite old and is
about to undergo a major renovation, and throughout this period she has continuously cared for
the property, initiated necessary maintenance actions, and managed the entire process, including
financial aspects, with remarkable efficiency and integrity.
One example of her initiative and generosity was the sale of the old furniture that came with the
house. She organized the entire sale on our behalf and, at her suggestion, the proceeds were
donated to the local hospital, a gesture that perfectly reflects her character and sense of
community.
I am convinced that none of this would have been possible without her dedication, initiative, and
personal commitment. Over the years, we have developed not only a professional collaboration
but also a genuine friendship, and our trust in her is absolute.
I wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend Popi to anyone seeking to buy or manage
property in Hydra. Her professionalism, reliability, and human warmth make her truly
exceptional.
Sincerely,
Oren Gazenfeld

My wife and I first visited the island of Hydra in 2014 and since then we have been spending as much time there as possible. Several years ago we decided that merely visiting was not enough so we endeavored to purchase a house there.
Friends had told us that purchasing property in Greece could be complicated but we were undeterred. We met with a couple of real estate agents to explore how this could go. We were less than charmed.
Thankfully, we were introduced to Popi through some local friends. We were immediately taken with her knowledge of the local market, what was available and, most impressively, the resources she had at hand.
Without going into too much detail, our first venture into pursuing a house in Hydra was a genuine challenge. The seller was well known to Popi and she explained that he might be difficult. Wrong. He was impossible. But Popi had a way of maneuvering which brought this endeavor to a satisfying end.
Just to put into perspective how effective Popi is, she not only wrestled the obstinate seller into closing the deal for a fair price, she also aided us with the purchase and delivery of an entire house of furniture, she secured storage space for furniture which arrived early, lined us up with contractors who preformed beautifully and she secured the services of the best attorney we could ever have hoped for (you do need a lawyer for a Greek real estate purchase but it is surprisingly reasonable).
So, without reservation, we highly recommend Popi over any of the other agents on the island. We are more than happy to answer any question for anyone considering Popi’s services.
Sincerely, Greg and Jean Kenney

Thanks to her strong sense of service and genuine empathy, each transaction becomes a reassuring and efficient experience.
I am confident that she will meet your expectations with the same exemplary professionalism she has always demonstrated.

We bought two houses from Penelope Lampopouli. I can’t imagine a more dedicated, reliable, and warm-hearted partner. She is incredibly quick, keeps her word, and is fair and straightforward when it comes to contractual and financial matters.
For her, signing the purchase agreement is by no means the end of the story. She accompanies the project through every phase and is always helpful. We are extremely happy to have met her.
