It was lovely to work on the farm, the hosts were welcoming and friendly. Unfortunately the hot climate was not suitable for me and I had to leave earlier than expected but I really wished I could stay longer. If I were to advise any future travellers it would be to make sure you are suited to hot temperatures and maybe okay with a few bites. For me the lack of air conditioned facilities made it difficult to deal with the heat as someone from a cold wet country. I also react quite severely to bug bites and they are extra hard to avoid if you are immersing yourself in farm work.

This was our first workaway experience and it went pretty well! We were warmly welcomed by Frank and other volunteers, and had a lot of fun during the stay :) The amazing part of this workaway is the community aspect, everyone you meet is so open and nice. Not the Greekest experience but great facilities, amazing food and cute cats on the other hand! I would have liked to work on a bigger variety of projects during our 3 week stay, as there was a lot of gardening otherwise I 100% recommend this experience 😊 Very curious to see what this place will become in 3 months, 1 year, 2 years and more

The eco village is an incredible place! Frank is a cheerful and fun giant and together with Diandra I had wonderful learning experiences. The work is calm and organized, I learned how to plant, prepare the soil, paint, sand and cut branches. I loved the people I met: Nix, Noe, Christina, Jorge, Jean, Dima and Bernat! I will take them with me for the rest of my life!!

My stay in the eco village It's been fantastic. About the facilities, there are really good. There is warm water for showers, big tents called Iurtas that keep the warm when it's cold and the cold when it's warm. There's a kitchen wich is fully equiped and the food that Frank, Diantra and all the other volunteers made all this days was delicious. Furthermore, the work is really pleasent because you see little by little that the projects where you are working on take shape by working with your own hands. I rexomend it at 100% !
