I stayed at the farmfor two weeks, and it was a truly peaceful and enjoyable experience. Michael was always kind, welcoming, and easy to communicate with. The daily routine was like; in the morning, I walked the dogs, picked up fresh bread from the bakery, and prepared breakfast. After breakfast, there were usually some tasks like gardening or sweeping. The rest of the day was free to explore the beautiful surroundings. In the evening, I helped with preparing dinner. I am gratefull for the experience and would live to come back

This experience was truly amazing! Michael is a wonderful person, super kind, and loves his dogs, Lakshmi, Agapimou and Bibely, they are very sweet and going on walks with them was really enjoyable! I already miss them. The house is very pretty and has a beautiful garden. The tasks were mostly related to the house and garden, preparing dinner and breakfast and while doing this you can meet lovely people in town. Michael also took us on the weekends to beautiful places around the island. Very grateful and I definitely recommend this volunteering experience! Would love to come back! 💖

Michael need assistance with many things around his property and business but he is a lovely person to be around and he makes your responsibilities clear. Tasks varied. The role did seems to be more like caretaking. He is very flexible and easy to communicate your needs with. The accommodation was the best i've had and the meals were amazing. I really do recommend this experience if you are looking for a homey & “family oriented” stay with a very local & cultural experience. the farmis small but lovely and Michael will take you and the dogs together in adventures. My experience was great <3

We had a great experience atthe farm. The perfect opportunity to unwind and relax on a beautiful greek island. The daily routine consisted of a few hours of work in the morning (walking the dogs, feeding the chickens, gardening, making breakfast, etc) followed by a break in the afternoon, perfect to visit nearby towns or relax on the beach, followed by making dinner and walking the dogs once again in the evening. The host Micheal and his three dogs are a joy to be around and most of the tasks revolve around helping them in their daily routine.
