I absolutely loved the community. This place is all about exchanging the skills you have and seeing how you can apply those skills into making a lasting impression at the community. What you get back is living in a wonderfull community where people with different cultures and talents mix. The surroundings are beatifull and I learned a lot about the Greek history and culture. I didn't have the opportunity to be with Alexandros a lot but he is a wonderfull person and I would definitely reccomend staying at the community to anyone who is willing to put in the effort of community living.

It was one of the strongest and most beautiful experiences of my life, hard work for a Great reward. It taught me to communicate better, not to take anything for granted, to enjoy even the smallest things. Here I found positive energy and friendship. Alex, Pam and Mike are special people, with Great hearts. This was our first volunteer experience, and it exceeded all our expectations. I feel like saying without mincing words that it changed my life and my partner's life.

We stayed in Megalopoli for 3 weeks. Alex and Pam who run the place are lovely people, as is Mike who welcomed us when we arrived. There would be so many things to say, for us it was a strongly desired experience that gave us a lot. We got out of our comfort zone, we got closer to nature, we had the opportunity to try various funny and stimulating manual activities, and we visited several villages in Arcadia. We created great relationships and memories with the owners and other volunteers. We are very grateful for this experience, we loved the project and we will be back soon!

My experience in the villa was amazing. From the first moment, I felt welcomed by everyone. The tasks are diverse and depending on what is needed at that moment: cooking, painting, building, gardening... There are usually more volunteers at the same time, so it is a very good opportunity to meet other people and improve the language. Excursions and plans to meet the people of the town are also organized. Thank you very much Pam and Aless for the opportunity ❤️🥰

An amazing experience I would recommend to everyone. You really feel like you're part of a community. I think staying longer is better. We stayed for 3 which was great but would have loved to stay a little longer. We made so many new friends. they look for your strength and interests and will use this for the work. For example I was mostly doing painting. If youre considered of others and do your tasks this will be an amazing place for you. Would love to come back some day. Also you should visit the monastery, some small villages, go to greek parties and go rafting on free days

Best 3 weeks of my life! This was my first experience as a volunteer and I loved every single minute! I met amazing people, made beautiful connections, and we shared lots of things even if everyone came from a different background! Totally recommend if you're willing to get out of your comfort zone and meet people from all over the world! I really want to thanks Alex ,Pam and Mike for making it possible, and a special thanks to Mike who made me feel like I was in the right place from the first day!

I can describe this experience through the words: learning - friendship and community. the community experience helped me develop my communication skills and I experienced for first time living in community (which is not always easy, but is always worthy). In this place you get to know people from all over the world and try different kinds of works related to the sustainability of the villa. The accommodation is quite comfortable and you have all the basics covered by the hosts and even more. However, is important to keep in mind that the rewards you get are equal to the hard work you do.

My experience at Villa Kokkinaki was absolutely lovely ! The place itself is beautiful and the people we met were just as amazing. I was very immersed in the culture , from learning Greek dancing , wild oregano picking to eating delicious local Greek food. If you are willing to work hard , the rewards are definitely worth it! I got to paint which is something I really enjoy alongside gardening and working in the kitchen. I would definitely recommend this experience to others and am very grateful to Alex and Pam for their love and kindness that they showed.

The community is a place that I strongly reccomend! If you are willing to work hard, multitask, learn new things and share your knowledge.. that's your place! :) We have connected very well with the group and we made lots of things together. People were amazing! Alex, Pam and Mike were amazing hosts and I felt home. The place is really beautiful and with a big sense of community! Having meals together, sharing duties, helping each other. We had the chance also to go to a Greek festival and have Greek dance lessons! Thank you all again! I've learned a lot! Love you all!
