Michael was really kind and he's always smiling, which made the whole experience better. He was very approachable and easy to talk to. If there was ever something you weren't comfortable with or didn't agree with, he was always open to listening and finding a solution that worked for everyone. The tasks were simple and manageable, leaving you with the whole afternoon free to explorethe farm, which was amazing. The accommodation is also very close to a beautiful beach, and I really enjoyed spending time there:)

The location couldn't be better! Kokkari is a beautiful & walkable beach village with friendly locals. The tasks are simple and Michael is good about communicating what needs to be done. He’s very kind and easy to get along with. I felt comfortable staying at the villa. The volunteer room is really comfortable and peaceful. I enjoyed walking to the bakery for fresh bread every morning and maintaining dinner for us was my favorite part as I love to cook! There's plenty of free time during the day to enjoy the fantastic weather and the beach is less than 10 minutes walking.

My experience at Villa Michaelis was amazing! It was my first worldpackers experience and I immediately felt right at home. Michael is extremely kind and easy going. The house is very nice, sort of like a farm, the room where you sleep is cozy and the dogs are super sweet. Kokkari is breathtaking and you easily integrate into local life. I’m very thankful to Michael and Maria for this experience. Please reach out to me with any questions!! :)

Michael is a really lovely man. We walked the 3 super cute and friendly dogs in the morning, made breakfast and dinner for Michael each day and ate together. The room we stayed in was really lovely and clean. Michael has disabilities and doesn't chat too much and struggles to walk but is very nice. I had a good time with Michael and Maria (his carer) inthe farm and would be happy to chat to anyone interested in visiting Michael and volunteering here!

There were a lot of things I loved about my experience. The island is beautiful, the town and beaches are lovely, the dogs are sweet, and the property is really nice. The work itself was easy and our days off were respected. However, some parts of the experience were quite different from what the profile led me to expect, and there were a few things that weren't mentioned beforehand. I think being a little more transparent about these things would help future volunteers know what to expect.
