Who we are

I (Elias) am a retired electrical engineer and my wife Mary is a retired highschool teacher. Our primary residence is in Canada, north of Toronto. Greece is where I grew up and the home there is second home (house that my great-grandfather built). As it is my second residence it is available all year around. I usually am there in the summer time (July and August) although dates are flexible.
