RooMateAthens · Women-first launch
Trusted flatmate matching for women moving to Athens, by a woman.

Free to join. Early members get RooMate Trusted VIP free for 1 year.
The problem
A better alternative to chaotic housing groups.
Finding a room in Athens can feel overwhelming, especially when you are moving alone and trying to judge who or what to trust. RooMate offers a more intentional way to connect, with trust signals, profile verification, and introductions that only happen when both sides agree.
How it works
Four quiet steps from sign-up to safer living.
Create your profile
Tell us what you are looking for, your preferred area, your budget, and what kind of living setup feels right for you.
Build your trust level
Start as a Verified Member for free, then strengthen your profile through additional trust steps and verification.
Get reviewed matches
RooMate reviews potential matches and only makes introductions when both sides want to connect.
Move with more confidence
Instead of chasing random listings, you get a more trusted and intentional route to finding your next home.
Women-first
Why RooMate is starting with women.
RooMate is launching first for women moving to Athens because trust, safety, and compatibility matter most when you are finding a place to live in a new city. Starting with a focused community creates a stronger, more trusted matching experience from day one.
Built for women, by a woman who understands the move.

Meet the founder
Dr Sotiria Moschopoulou
Founder, RooMate Group Ltd.
View LinkedIn profileA UK-based General Dentist with Advanced Diplomas in Restorative Dentistry and Periodontics, qualified Pilates Instructor, Level 5 Coach and Mentor, and Airbnb Superhost with 70 five-star reviews — Sotiria built RooMate because she has lived every side of the problem it solves.
Having moved across multiple cities in Greece and the UK, and travelled to 45 countries, she knows firsthand what it means to arrive somewhere new and need a safe place to live. As a Superhost, she also knows what it takes to make someone feel genuinely welcomed.
She built RooMate in four months as a solo non-technical founder — while working full time as a dentist — because she believes trust is not a feature. It's the whole point.
