Finding appropriate accommodation is one of the most challenging preparations for students who wish to study abroad. Factors such as affordability, proximity to campus or favorable contract terms play a crucial role in the process and may overwhelm students, especially when housing options are scarce. Study in Greece and StayInGreece are no strangers to this reality and are ceaselessly searching for ways to alleviate this – more often than not – arduous process. Thus, SiG and StayInGreece have decided to join forces with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding in order to appease one of international students’ main concerns: easily finding accommodation best suited for their needs.
For almost 20 years, StayInGreece has been helping international students find more than just a place to live in Greece, they help them find a home. Founded by former Erasmus students who have first hand experience on the difficulties of finding student-friendly accommodation in a new country, their service doesn’t only include support for housing, but substantial guidance for every step of the process.
Since 2007, thousands of students from across Europe have trusted StayInGreece to support one of the most exciting experiences of their lives. What sets them apart is simple: they focus on seeing every student as a person, not as a customer. Having walked the same path, StayInGreece ensures that every student feels safe, supported, and empowered to make the most of their exchange journey. From the moment students arrive in Greece, StayInGreece offers support for international students studying abroad in Greece: welcoming them in person, guiding them through student-friendly contracts, providing practical local advice, and connecting them to a vibrant student community they can truly rely on.
Currently, their website is stayinathens.com, but very soon they will launch a new, completely updated platform at stay-in-greece.gr. This innovative platform will offer exchange students a wider selection of apartments, not only in Athens but also in Thessaloniki, Patras, and Volos making it easier than ever to find a home away from home in Greece.
