Program Details

Join us in Kokkari, one of Samos' most beautiful villages, for a cultural exchange.

Our home is surrounded by green fields and just a few minutes walk from the beach and town square! It features a large garden where we grow lemons, oranges, vegetables, and flowers. My three dogs, geese, and chickens are part of the family.

We prefer volunteers over 20 years old for 2-5 week stays. Depending on the number of people at the property, accommodation may include sharing a room with another volunteer or having a private room. The kitchen is shared with myself and other volunteers.

If there is availability, you may have the option to extend your stay longer than 5 weeks while you are here.

Activities & Shift

Weekly tasks include garden maintenance and animal care. Specific duties include:

- Walking the dogs twice daily (morning and evening)
- Preparing breakfast and dinner
- Planting, gardening, and painting

Tasks vary seasonally and are assigned daily, typically the night before or in the morning.

Rules

We seek responsible, trustworthy individuals who are open-minded and eager to learn. Independence and flexibility are essential.

Our home is a no-smoking, no-alcohol, and drug-free environment, both indoors and outdoors.
