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

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
