We had a wonderful experience with Michael and his lovely dogs. The house and the surroundings are truly magical and the perfect place to recharge. The work was more than fair and he showed us the farm's prettiest places on weekends. The area is quite rural but the village of Kokkari offers everything you need and is just a 5 min walk from the house. We definitely recommend this experience.

Michael has such a beautiful house with a huge garden and 3 dogs, a cat and chickens. The work is pretty chill. You have to walk to the bakery at 8:15 to get bread after the breakfast you have to walk the dogs and then you have to do some stuff around the house. In the evening you have to walk the dogs again and cook dinner. The island is really beautiful and Michael showed us some nice places. I would recommend volunteering there!

My time in the farm was great. Michael is a lovely man and an amazing host. He made me feel comfortable and I felt respected as a volunteer. The tasks in the beautiful house located in one of the most beautiful villages in the farm were easy and Michael is always open to talk and he also can be flexible about the schedules. I highly recommend this volunteer position!
