Cohousing is Village Reimagined.

A Global Movement

Cohousing has flourished for decades across Europe and North America. Studies show higher well-being, and many communities have waitlists. Now, for the first time, this values-led way of life is taking root in Greece as Συμβιωτική Κοινότητα—integrating Greek village architecture and culture into a proven model.

Not your traditional village

Come to Greece already knowing your neighbors. 

Create something good together.

For the village in Peloponnesos, the group chose and area nestled in the foothills of the Taygetos mountains in a rural mountain agrihood of Peloponnesos, surrounded by breathtaking and expansive national forest, with walkability to future resort amenities. This project is fully mature and ready to take investment and build.

About Evi (aka Pare)

Pare Gerou headshot.jpeg

Evi (Pare) Gerou is a Greek-American cohousing consultant and founder of Greek Village Cohousing. She has lived in cohousing, visited and studied dozens of communities over two decades, and regularly learns from movement leaders to capture best practices.

Over recent years, Evi has used her developed workshop series and built the foundations of two resident-designed villages in Greece—so groups don’t face the usual early-stage risk. These projects are ready to step into, form a seed community around, set norms and traditions, and begin to build or renovate:

Peloponnese — Groundwork in place so you can step in and choose a home, and becom part of the first Community Partner seed group. Launched in 2021 and now ready to build (excavation begun). A curated list of 1,000+ interested helps seed founders find aligned neighbors. Small group tours let you choose your home and meet others.

Crete — Project launched in 2025, tentative renovation site selected in June. Small-group visits/tours let you stay on the property, experience the place, and explore cohousing potential with future neighbors.

 

Having moved abroad herself, Evi also can provide concierge services to compliment the group's mutual support for your relocation abroad.  She coordinates a trusted relocation network —immigration, tax, inheritance, and financial specialists—providing clear guidance on Greek residency / Golden Visa options and practical onboarding, so mutual support takes root quickly. Blending Greek village architecture and culture with supported consent (sociocracy) and collaborative design, she helps incubate Συμβιωτική Κοινότητα—where belonging is built with intention.
