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.

I had a truly nice experience the task were simple like go with the dogs for a walk, gardening and cooking, I was there low season for me was the best because I had the local experience and the beach was empty and calm. The location is really close to the beach and the bus stop is 10mn walking so you can travel a bit for the island. the farmis a really calm and kind person!! you can see how he is deeply committed to the well-being of his 3 dogs! he really loves them! I highly recommend this volunteer is you loves animals and is the perfect way to connect with the nature!:)
