I stayed here for the whole month of October. Even though Himarë is beautiful and the other volunteers were wonderful, I personally felt uncomfortable throughout my stay. The work environment often felt heavy and unpredictable, and certain behaviors and comments created a sense of unease that made it difficult for me to feel safe or relaxed. There were many moments where the atmosphere became stressful, and I constantly felt on edge rather than welcomed or supported.

Because of this, my experience ended up being overwhelmingly negative, and I would not choose to repeat it.

This was my first experience with Worldpackers and I loved it! I met amazing people, explored beautiful Himare and got to spend many days at the beach. The work was nice and I learned a lot. The rooms were great and the food was delicious.

Communication before the trip as well as the attitude in the kitchen could be better and improved. Overall I had a great experience in Himare and I am very thankful for it.

I’m very grateful for my experience in Fig & Olive . I can genuinely say that I got to meet amazing people and made so many good memories here that I’ll never forget about this place.
I’ve never worked as a waitress before but the team taught me everything . The scenery is beautiful, you get 3 delicious meals a day and have enough free time to go to the beach every day. One small thing to keep in mind is that most clubs/bars are only open during the summer season around the area but coming here off-season has its benefits too.
Thank you so much for everything, I wish to see you guys again!💕

This was my first time volunteering with worldpackers and I would definitely recommend. The food is delicious and the restaurant is so pretty. You have enough time to go to the beach everyday and you meet so many nice people. I think the best time to come here would be between June and September.

Mi tiempo en Aphrodite's fue lleno de sorpresas, el lugar y los alrededores te ofrecen grandes amistades, comida en abundancia y poder disfrutar de sus hermosos paisajes, lo incómodo en mi experiencia fue ver un poco de descuido en nuestro baño personal (el techo estaba cubierto de moho y nunca se resolvió), y también presencié un trato inadecuado del anfitrion hacia las voluntarias y mi pareja generándole incomodidad y disgusto hacia el lugar.
