The Experience

Lemonia Farm is located in Chiliomoudou, a village at the foot of the White Mountains in the prefecture of Chania. The farm raises goats, sheep, chickens and there is also a traditional taverna. In the summer months we are engaged in beekeeping, which is quite a demanding job, during which we wear protective uniform. In the winter months we are engaged in olive harvesting.

The location itself is beautiful, but unfortunately, our experience was not a positive one. The owners only spoke Greek and seemed to expect us to understand them, which made communication through Google Translate very difficult. The room was also quite different from the pictures, with very little space for personal belongings and walls covered in stuffed animals, which made us feel uncomfortable. Overall, we did not feel at ease and decided to leave after just one night.

very unfriendly treatment, no interest in using translators or trying in English, an absolute horror room with stuffed animals on the walls, smelly and military gear, no space for our things, a rude tone with whistling and shouting, the dinner looked very old! no introduction to the place or anything, we were scared and left as quickly as we could the next morning early!
