This was my second time at the camping, and it was even better than the first. Visiting in peak season meant everything was open, so I met great people and had amazing experiences. The staff are incredibly helpful and often include you in activities after work. There are endless ways to immerse yourself in the island's culture—it felt like one long holiday. I highly recommend this experience. Thanks for having me back, Betty—wish I didn't have to leave!

This was my first Worldpackers trip, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I had the best time helping out in such a beautiful location, surrounded by great people and the chillest vibe. I really enjoyed using my creativity to help paint the campsite as well! It was a bit difficult to get around without a car, but I didn't mind much because during the week, I went to Lacona Beach a lot, which was just a 10-minute walk from the campsite. On weekends, we had more time if we wanted to rent a car and go on longer excursions. Also, you're surrounded by cute cats all day long :)

My experience at the camping was truly amazing, the property is large and quiet, a place where you can find peace, nature and where you take care of yourself. During my stay I learned a new skills like painting or decoration even though my role was that of yoga teacher. I used to teach one or two times for day. I settled immediately, also with the others volunteers and the people that work in there. If you like camping life, live in a caravan surrounded by nature and slow rhythm, don't hesitate! I recommend to rent a car for visiting the island. The prices are not cheap.

I really loved staying at the camping. The people are very friendly, welcoming and always there to help. Some nights they invited us to join them for bbq or to go out with them, which I really appreciate. I like how relaxed and flexible everything is as it truly taught me to slow down and go with the flow. Betty is so sweet and always helpful. The island is so beautiful but it's difficult to get around without car or scooters. It's a good place if you like beaches and hiking. I wished I'd learned some Italian before coming since it would have helped to better get to know the people.

My stay at the camping was my first trip and one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Betty is an amazing host—warm, kind, and always helpful. The work was relaxed and enjoyable, and Pem, Francesco, and Andrea made me feel welcome from the start, always ready to lend a hand. I was invited to family events and joined them on evening trips to nearby towns for delicious food. Despite limited public transport, it's easy to explore by walking, biking, or hitchhiking. If you want to truly experience Italian culture in a stunning setting, this is the place. I can't wait to return! Ciao :)
