Michale is a wonderful man, andthe farm is otherworldly. This was my first worldpackers experience and I am so glad that it was. The island is beautiful and walking the dogs each day is a pleasure, they are very sweet. Would come back in a heartbeat!

Gabrielle is a very nice person. She liked our home with the dogs very much. She liked also to cook. Thank you very much for being with us. Please come again to us.

Michael is a kind staff, he takes volunteers to get to know and delve into the local culture, the island is charming. I recommend the experience to anyone who wants to live the local experience. The schedules for me were not very good because they were not fixed, Michael passed the tasks on the day. The only problem is that you get stuck on the island. The accommodation is good and the food is economical. I recommend it to anyone who wants to slow down and connect with nature. The works are heavy but short. Overall it was a good experience.

The farmwas beautiful, an island full of natural beauty. I recommend visiting in summer because at this time of year almost the entire village ofthe farm is closed, but it is still an ideal place for trekking and connecting with nature.It is clear that Michael is a kind person, but during our stay he had surgery and, when he returned, he faced health problems that could have put his safety and ours at risk.We were lucky his friend Maria was there to help him and us. hope he recovers soon and can receive new volunteers. He also needs help with the dogs and meels.The days off aren't entirely free

The place is beautiful and peaceful, with a very comfortable and private room. The tasks are easy but spread out at different times of the day. the farmis lovely, but in low season there's almost nothing to do in the village, and the distances between towns are very long, which made it hard to explore new places In my case, the experience wasn't very positive because something unusual happened, Michael got sick, and that affected the atmosphere and the development of the volunteer work Thanks to María, Michael's friend, who was there and helped a lot! Get well Michael!

I had a good experience staying here. The property is nice and stands at the most perfect location. The work itself was light, with not many tasks to do, which gave me plenty of free time to relax by the beach. The only downside is that the town itself doesn't offer a lot to do if you're staying for a longer period, and the public transport connections to other towns on the island aren't very reliable. Overall, it was a positive stay and I appreciated the oppertunity to meet new friends:)

I stayed at the farmfor 2 weeks. I had to make breakfast, feeding dogs/chicken, go to the bakery, make dinner everyday of my stay, so there are no days off. Gardening was from monday to friday.

I stayed at the farmfor two weeks and I was fortunate to be given a private room. Daily tasks included walking/grooming the dogs, preparing breakfast and dinner, watering the orchard, feeding chickens, collecting meat / bread from the village, folding laundry and accompanying Michal to collect goods from town. On the weekends Michal took me to a beach & waterfall on the otherside of the island where we could walk the dogs together and have a restaurant meal (which he kindly paid for). Some confusion around the 'days off' but still enjoyed my stay here and would come again!

My stay at the farmwas a good experience. Michael was extremely accomodating to my needs. I work online in the evenings, so all my hours with him were planned in advance so I could continue with my work, and I appreciate that so much! I would say the purpose of this volunteer opportunity is keeping Michael company. He now has some health issues with his legs, therefore being around is definitely welcome. the tasks were very easy to complete, and even better if there are 2 or more volunteers at the same time. ευχαριστώ Μιχάλης!

I had to leave this experience early unfortunately because of some family issues that arose. However I did really enjoy my time inthe farm with Michael. I think Michael is a wonderful man, super kind and considerate, and he took us on many trips around the island which was very appreciated. I'm not sure if this volunteering experience was exactly right for my personality as the area was very secluded and quiet (especially in the winter time not much is open and the weather isn't best) but overall I had a good time. Please feel free to message me for for info! :)

The work was exactly as others have described here on the platform. I bought bread in the morning, walked the dogs twice a day, helped with the garden and olive picking, and made dinner (he always tells us what he wants to eat, and if we don't know the recipe, he helps us out, which is great). I had a room with a bathroom all to myself, which was great! Michael also took me to different spots on the island so we could hike with the dogs. Overall, a good experience!
