Lemon Tree Home

The house is well hidden in a little forest 🌳 with a fresh running water spring just outside of our main door but still located at the center of a small village with all conveniences close by (ATMs, supermarket, doctors office, pharmacy, car/scouter rental, crafts & general shops, restaurants, taverns, music clubs, coffee shops, hairdresser, post office, even traditional Greek churches-you can hear the bell ringing, etc).
Although it is in the center of the village, it is very quiet and serene. Our rooftop has a spectacular view of the sea and sunset, where someone can relax and enjoy. 🌅🌇
Five marvelous beaches 🏖️🐚 are within walking distance from our house (5-25 minutes). One more beach within 55 min walk.
The Island of Andros where we are located has numerous well marked trails to follow. If you like hiking, you may join our guests or go by yourself. We will explain you in full details where to go or what to see and explore everywhere in Andros.

This is a tiny place. It is a my private small home that hosts guests in several indoor and outdoor spaces. As such I do not offer too much structure nor do I have a reception or other standarized assignments. If you want I can provide structured assignment on request... In April we prepare the house for summer guests and in October we prepare the house for winter but since I stay here year round there is always something to do...Winter or summer many of the jobs include physical effort like carry a chair or some chopped wood clear garden weed or whatever. During the summer season I can not afford staff so I do everything myself helped by would be volunteers. If it gets very busy in July and August and volunteers are up to a full day work I offer small compensation too. If we get full at that time (or anytime) we all sleep at an adjacent field outside or in tents. I will expect all that come here to post multiple times in instagram tagging the house or including me as collaborator... I will treat you as a friend guest!!!!

I strongly advise against volunteering at the Lemon Tree. During my time there, I and other volunteers encountered a serious bed bug problem that was not disclosed by the host prior to me arriving in Greece. I found out when I arrived to athens that another volunteers stay was cancelled because she “spent too much time in athens”.

To my surprise, the host blackmailed me for a good review just as long as I don’t inform paying guests about the bedbug problem.

Several volunteers including myself, decided to leave early due to the poor living conditions and the host’s manipulative behaviour.

No fue una buena experiencia no me sentí bien tratado aunque la isla y las instalaciones son asombrosas lo recomendaría solo si eres capaz de ignorar ciertas actitudes

Overall the experience was positive, with light chores and plenty of free time. Miltos encouraged us to enjoy ourselves, which I valued. However, when bed bugs appeared, I felt uneasy with how it was managed and did not see effective steps to resolve it. While I know the bugs were not the host’s fault, clearer communication, responsibility, and stronger measures would help future volunteers and guests feel safer and more comfortable.

I received only positive reviews after you left. The only difference since then is that you and Joe were no longer here. THINK ABOUT IT.
Next year schedule
9-1 and for other volunteer 4-8, reception after tasks are completed.
If future volunteers have concerns, I will refer them to you. You had light duties, but when help was needed you left and caused concern among guests. You also left without cleaning yourself. If any cleaning was done, resources were used contrary to explicit rules.

I had the most amazing time volunteering with Miltos at the Lemon Tree! The work itself was quite easy and there was plenty of time to explore the nearby beaches and hang out with guests and other volunteers. The house and the village it’s in have a great vibe too. Definitely recommend the Lemon Tree! 🍋

My experience at the Lemon Tree was truly amazing!
Miltos has a big heart and he really does everything he can to make sure everyone (guests and volunteers) has the best time in Andros!
The hostel is a wonderful place where Miltos creates a community! It is the perfect place if you want to meet new people from all over the world!
The work is easy, it is not super organized but the balance work-freetime is really really good.
I wish I could stay longer and I’ll definately come back!!
