Agios Nikolaos Crete

We invite you to join us in our cozy and welcoming home, located just 5 minutes from the beach and 15 minutes from the city center 🌊🏙️.

As locals, we’ll be happy to share insider tips and help you explore the area at your own pace. Whether you enjoy peaceful nature walks, seaside sunsets, or cultural events, there’s something special to experience here.

Volunteering with us is a chance to contribute meaningfully while still having time and space to enjoy your journey 🌿✨

We’re Irini and Vasilis — a friendly Greek couple who truly enjoy welcoming people into our lives. We see volunteers as part of the family 🫶 and we do our best to create a calm, respectful, and warm environment. Living with us gives you a real taste of Greek daily life — from shared meals to joining us at local events, friend gatherings, or small celebrations 🥗🎉 We’ve also hosted many travelers through Couchsurfing for years, and we’re proud of the wonderful connections and experiences we’ve built. Feel free to check our profile and references — we’re always excited to meet kind, open-minded people from around the world 🌍💛

I absolutely loved my experience with Irini and Vasilis! They were welcoming, friendly, involved me in their lives - brought me to events, on adventures, out for dinner, cooked delicious food, and were soft on work expectations. They communicated what they hoped for me to get done, mostly cleaning tasks, and collaborated on which days would work for working and being off. Their home has three + beaches within a 12-20 minute walk, and they are also close to downtown, about 20 minute walk with many great food and activity options! I enjoyed swimming in the sea, renting bikes, and going on hikes!

Irini and Vasilis are AMAZING. They have a lovely place. They communicate expectations clearly, assign manageable tasks, and made sure we had a great time while we weren't working.
We'd typically work 8-1 and have the afternoon/ evening off. They live right next to the city so you can walk into town or to many beaches.
They days when Irini whipped up some Greek food were definitely highlights, alongside hitting up the beach almost every day. 🤘🏼

The town does close end of Oct-Apr?, so most rental places were closed and many shops. But the weather was nice and the town was quiet. LOVED IT

Irini y Vasilis son increíblemente amables; me recogieron por la mañana y me hicieron sentir parte de la familia desde el primer instante. Me dieron comidas, rellenaron mi caja de alimentos cuando se acabó y hasta me llevaron a un maratón. Aunque mis tareas cambiaron (cuidar la casa, regar plantas, dar medicinas a sus padres, limpiar ventanas y cuidar a Sara), la experiencia fue humana y tranquila. Respetan los días libres y ofrecen muy buenos consejos locales. Lo recomiendo muchísimo: hospitalidad 200%

Staying with Irini was one of those experiences that feels less like volunteering and more like being part of something meaningful. From the first moment, I felt at home. Living and working with Irini felt like sharing a home with family. She welcomed me with open arms (and an amazing sunset), involved me in her daily life, and created a safe and inspiring environment where I could be myself and contribute with purpose.
The work was diverse and Sara is the cutest dog ever. Agios Nikolaos is amazing and I walked around enjoying the city, the beach and the incredible views. I recommend a lot.
