Greek Village
Cohousing
Creating Greece's first Community-Led Neighborhoods
Private homes. Shared life.
A real village, co-created in Greece.
Greek Village Cohousing is
A new way of creating home in Greece — one built around belonging, shared life, and the people who will actually live there.
Greek Village Cohousing brings people together before move-in to help shape a real village in Greece-- with private homes, generous shared spaces, and a more connected daily life. It is for people who want more than a house abroad: they want belonging, sustainable living, and to be part of collaborating on the place they will call home.
See Cohousing in Real Life
These short videos offer a glimpse of cohousing in practice — how people design for connection, share parts of daily life, and create a stronger sense of belonging.
Once they move in, neighbors enjoy their fully private homes and private lives, but they are united by a deep committment to share time together weekly, to cook and eat meals together in their Common House, to share the work of running their village together, of using sociocracy to govern together, and to mutually support each other.
Most of all, they share celebrations and spontaneous fun. Many neighbors describe the community as "extended family by choice."
Mission & Values We’re growing the intentional community movement in Greece — bringing together cohousing, ecohousing, and ecovillage principles rooted in deeper neighborly connection, environmental stewardship, and a more resilient way of living. We’re grounded in the beautiful Hellenic village tradition — the shared coffees, the slow conversations, the warmth of philoxenia — but we are not a traditional village. This is village 2.0: community-led, intentional, and designed together. Our shared values: Community service & support • Sustainability • Inclusivity & diversity • Shared governance (consensus + sociocracy) • Lifelong learning • Respect & empathy • Respect for Hellenic tradition We’re not interested in moving into a developer’s vision — or a random village — and hoping the right neighbors happen to show up. Cohousing flips that model. Around the world, these communities thrive because people come together first as an intentional community, and then co-create their homes, agreements, and village culture before they move in. This isn’t a dreamy idea that never materializes. Cohousing is a proven, step-by-step, community-led model with thriving communities worldwide — and through Greek Village Cohousing, the foundation, structure, and professional support are already in place. You’re stepping into something real, not starting from scratch.
Why are cohousing villages different? (Why belonging does not happen by accident) This is not not simply moving to a village in Greece and hoping the right neighbors appear and belonging happens. And it is not buying into a developer’s idea of a lifestyle product and hoping for meaningful connection later. In cohousing, people come together first, begin building real relationships first, and help shape the village before move-in.

Our Current Flagship Project
Taygete Cohousing Village
Taygete Cohousing Village is our current flagship new-build cohousing village project in the Peloponnese — collaboratively co-created by members who want more than a beautiful home in Greece. It is for people who want to help shape a real community, with private homes, generous shared spaces, and a more connected daily life.
The land for this project is in a stunning mountain "agrihood" landscape within easy drivng access to vibrant town life, beaches, and a wider region rich with beauty and history. Taygete is being designed for belonging, mutual support, beauty, and long-term resilience.
Where Taygete Cohousing Village stands now
Taygete is a founding-stage cohousing village now taking shape. Over the past several years, we have invested deeply in research, field work, feasibility review, and relationship-building to identify the right land, partners, and development pathway for this project.
We then spent another year collaboratively shaping the site layout, Common House, and floor plans together with our development and professional partners. That community-led physical design is now complete.
The project is now in the final development-preparation stage, including the remaining studies, permits, and site-readiness work. Initial excavation and site preparation have begun, with utilities and infrastructure targeted for late 2026, vertical building expected after that, and move-in currently projected for 2029.
Taygete is not a conventional real estate product and will not be held back for late-stage public sale once completed. Like other successful cohousing communities, it is expected to fill through the founding community during development, not after construction is finished.
The people who join now are the ones who can move deeper into the process: helping shape the culture and community norms, training in sociocracy, supporting one another’s transition to Greece and to village life, and, where there is mutual fit, eventually considering the deeper commitment and investment process.
In other words, this is a village that forms and is collaboratively created before move-in. People who wait until the homes are complete will likely have waited too long.
Other cohousing and Ecohousing projects beginning to take shape:
Retro-fit, regenerative, renovation, and more...
Greek Village Cohousing is an incubation hub for a community-led process that can lead to different kinds of villages. While Taygete is our current flagship village, it is not the only path members are interested in exploring.
Greek Village Cohousing is also beginning to gather interest around other community-led possibilities in Greece: reimagining older hotel properties built in a village style, giving commercial and industrial buildings new life through adaptive reuse, and exploring land-based village concepts that could unfold through prefabricated homes.
These are still early-stage possibilities, but they will gather founder types interested in findingothers, and they speak to something real: a growing desire to create beauty, belonging, and shared life in more than one way.
Book and information coffee to share your dreams about retro-fit, renovation, and other intentional community project ideas.

Your Path to Belonging
Greek Village Cohousing is not something you simply buy into. It is something you grow into — step by step, relationship by relationship, before move-in.
