Michael is a good person. He picked us up when we arrived and was also flexible with schedules and tasks when we needed him. If you're volunteering alone, you might need to cook and make breakfast every day with no days off. Regardingthe farm, it's a beautiful village with lots of greenery, mountains, and beaches, but there aren't many supermarkets, and you need to go to town, which is a bit challenging since there are almost no buses (maybe 4 a day). I highly recommend going in the summer. I'm very grateful for the whole experience volunteering with Michael and meeting Maria.

This was my first volunteer experience, and now that it's over, I can honestly say I really loved it. In the beginning, there were some challenges, Michael is going through a difficult personal period, and as someone who isn't very comfortable expressing emotions, it took me a bit of time to adapt. I'd definitely recommend talking both to Michael and to previous volunteers before coming. Michael is a truly wonderful person with a kind soul, his dogs are unbelievably sweet, andthe farm is a beautiful, peaceful place, perfect if you need some time away from noise and the city.

Staying with the farmfor two and a half weeks was truly unforgettable. He's one of the kindest, most loving people we've ever met, and he made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The work was simple and fair, and he gave us so much time to explore the beautiful island. We're so grateful for the friendships, memories, and love we found atthe farm.

I had an amazing time atthe farm! Staying with Michael and the volunteers was a great experience. The workload was not overbearing at all. We spent a few hours a morning walking the dogs, feeding the farm animals, and tending to the garden/ helping out around the house. We also had to help prepare breakfast and dinner. Other than that, you have free time to go to the beach, explore the island, etc.. I love the island and highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to learn more about Greek culture while having a relaxed time on the island! Please reach out with any questions.

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
