This was an amazing experience! Working with the farm was always so much fun and never got old. And we were fed very well! Eating at the Taverna was so awesome to get to try real local Greek food and it's delicious! Make sure you understand you ARE sleeping in a tent outside! I brought a sleeping bag to sleep on and tbh I slept fine. There's plenty of gorgeous beaches around the island you can visit and you have plenty of time to do so. I met some other awesome volunteers on this trip and I'm sure you will too. The staff were awesome and they're super accommodating. Overall it was awesome!

I had a great time at the farm! The work was fulfilling but not overly strenuous and you get more than enough time off to enjoy the island. The food provided was excellent and the hosts were receptive to feedback. I especially enjoyed the freedom for the volunteers to divide the days work amongst ourselves.

I had an amazing time at the farm!Everybody was so friendly and welcoming. We got delicious self-made food from the tavern and had generally a very good provision. The work was pretty fine and I learned a lot about the farm horse breed. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a connection with nature and culture!
