The stay at the hostel in Trikala was very peaceful and wholesome. If you are looking for a quiet environment in the middle of rural Greece, this is the place for you. The tasks were very accessible and the timetable was flexible, Dimitris gave us a lot of freedom and suggestions on activities to do, and I connected with a lot of local peoples in an authentic way it would not have been possible otherwise. I really recommend the experience!

Dimitris was a great host! Tasks were easy, just doing the laundry and keeping the reception open, and times were flexible. Visited the hostel which was amazing! Trikala is a cozy town but not that much to do so wouldn't recommend staying more than two weeks.

The experience was great. The place is perfect for someone who have to work remotely. The only thing is that if you stay more than two weeks, you will have nowhere to visit or to do after like 2 weeks. Their is no much to do on town. But the host and the works is not a problem at all.

I've had a wonderful experience! Trikala is a cute little town right next to the hostel and apart from visiting the hostel there is not too much to do around. My stay was in October when there weren't too many international travelers so depending on the season you might have a lot of time to yourself. The work itself was not hard at all. Just a few check-ins, laundry and keeping the dorm room clean. Communication was good and Dimitris was always trying to recommend activities and helped in planning my weekend trip. All in all I felt very welcomed and can absolutely recommend it! :)

I spent a whole month in Trikala with two of my friends helping Dimitris in the hostel, he is an amazing host and was very helpful towards us, always helping with the buses or any question that we had, the work was very easy and the only thing that was kind of heavy was the laundry, nonetheless if you are accompanied or listening the music the time goes by very quickly, I recommend going to Platamonas if you have the chance, it is very beautiful and it has beaches. Close to Trikala is a river so you can go there when it gets hot, the city has also a lot of social night life.
