I absolutely loved my time here. It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, it's truly a special place. Zeljko and all the other staff at the monastery are amazing people. They are all so funny and welcoming and make you feel right at home. The work was agreed upon every morning and usually consisted of light cleaning or gardening. Sometimes dinner parties are hosted in the courtyard and we would help clean up after. The food provided was delicious. I couldn't recommend this more and I hope to come back one day, one week wasn't enough.

This was a fantastic experience to say the least. I felt very welcomed from the start by the whole team. Zeljko is an amazing host who offers to take you places and gives you suggestions on where to go and what to see but is an even better person with a great sense of humour. The work is very fair and the location is stunning. Although I only stayed a week I still feel very fortunate to have experienced this and I would definitely return in the future.

One of the best experiences of my life. The team is wonderful, always kind and respectful, teaching and guiding with patience. The tasks are diverse and meaningful, many outdoor activities and opportunities to help the local community. The place is perfectly prepared for volunteers and the village is absolutely beautiful. Everything was incredible — highly recommended for anyone looking for a meaningful experience.

Staying at the monastery for a month was one of my best experiences. The place is peaceful, welcoming, and offers stunning bay views. The staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and always make you feel at home. The work is well organized, not too intense, and they provide all the necessary tools. Accommodation and meals are included, so there are no extra expenses. It's the perfect place to disconnect from daily life, enjoy nature, meet wonderful people, and contribute to a meaningful project. I'd love to return in the future.

Like nothing I've ever done before; you get to live in a maritime museum, which means you have to hide from tours and make yourself small (sometimes unable to use the kitchen or facilities) but you're amongst early modern ship's tables, looted flags and carpets, busts of famous captains, and walkways where the stones have been worn down by centuries of walking. The specifics of the Worldpackers contract definitely seemed fuzzy (we might work more hours across 2 days, instead of a fuller work-day and a fuller rest-day) which made it hard to plan. I'd return, but plan more + get an escooter
