This was a great experience learning about Greek culture and getting in touch with nature. Andreas was a great host, good communicator, and everything was as described. I had a pleasant stay working and living on the island, overall a good first experience doing Worldpacker. I wasn't familiar with some of the tasks at first but they weren't too difficult. I'd recommend this experience to people who like to be outside and are curious about Greek island living and culture.

I had an amazing experience with Andreas as well as the other volunteers. It wasn't too much work and was very fun. Andreas was a great host for sure and was very welcoming and was attentive if the other volunteers or I needed anything.

I had an amazing time with Andreas. He is respectful, thoughtful and generous. I got sick while here and he always looked out for my well-being. I also got along well with the other volunteers and created many wonderful memories together. The food was a responsibility shared among all of us and was always delicious. The work was fair and enjoyable as Andreas is flexible with the tasks of you prefer a particular task over another. As expected the tasks varied between painting, sanding, gardening, cooking, cleaning, arranging furniture and running miscellaneous errands. Overall it was great 👍🏼
