The Experience

We need 50 volunteers to help with our olive harvest this year. We will have a big operation and volunteers will stay in one of 3 traditional and beautiful houses in the village of Vuno. We will work in teams and alternate between morning and noon shifts. The work is 4-5 hours a day and the rest of the time you are free to explore the beautiful beaches nearby, walk in the mountains, go to Himare or relax around the village with others.

I had a beautiful experience at the guest house & the guest house. Both places are truly unique, and the hosts are amazing people. The tasks are simple and give you the chance to enjoy the place. Vuno is a beautiful village, and the beaches nearby are absolutely stunning. I really enjoyed the work and spending time with other volunteers, as well as with Bree, Adrian, and Julie. I definitely recommend this wonderful place. Thank you guys for the hospitality. We're gonna see each other again, for sure!

They were really kind. We had a one week trial period. After the trial period, I was politely asked to leave. I felt pretty blind sighted by this, but I made the best of it. Before this I asked to leave a little earlier than originally anticipated. I think they're looking for long term commitments as you fulfill a lot of roles with this position. I think this job is well suited for someone who is adaptable and is good without structure. You will need to hitchhike hike places and interact with locals for the role. It suited a lot of the other volunteers. A lot of volunteers could thrive here.
