This was my first Worldpackers trip and I couldn't have asked for a better experience!! Nikos and his son, Konstantinos, made me feel welcomed and genuinely cared for throughout my whole stay. After our morning tasks, we had the whole day to explore the island. Nikos even drove us to Fira and Perivolos beach as well as fed us multiple delicious meals. I am beyond grateful for the time I spent here and to have been able to connect with this amazing family and the other volunteers. Santorini is a beautiful place and I would love to come back one day!

Working for Nikos was great. I spent time across both Syros and Santorini and really enjoyed both. I found the location of the house a little difficult as it's about a 20 minute walk to Oia and then all buses go through Fira, so it takes quite a while to get anywhere. In saying that Nikos was very generous in giving me lifts to different beaches. I had a great time and would recommend!

I had a lovely time at the guest house. The daily and weekly tasks were well organized, and the workload was fair. Nikos provided a great virtual onboarding before my arrival, making everything clear from the start, and communication was always smooth throughout my stay. When he arrived in Santorini, we had a great time exploring the beaches and chatting (he has amazing travel tips!), The staff accommodation had everything I needed, only 15 min from Oia, and one of the highlights was meeting other travelers, including another volunteer who became a good friend. I would happily recommend this host!

I had an wonderful experience at the guest house's house. Niko is very kind, he always made sure I was well, and offered help with anything I needed. The hours of work are very short and easy during the morning. The location is only 20min walking from Oia. I would definitely recommend this experience for a solo traveler ☺️

My experience with Nikos was awesome. I stayed there for two weeks and I had a great time. Nikos is very clear with the tasks, he respect the scheduled and also he was very flexible to adapt the hours with my job. He is a good host, always asking if I need something and in the free time we went visiting different places nerby. I also have the opportunity to share local celebrations. It was a amazing experience! Thank you so much Nikos!

Spending these days in Santorini was exactly what I needed. Nico welcomed me with great attention and kindness, and was incredibly warm and generous. The tasks are simple and quick, averaging 3 hours a day, and the rest of the time you're free to relax or explore the island. The place is quiet, comfortable (it really makes you feel at home), very clean, and offers lots of privacy. Grateful to you, Nico, for sharing so much and making this experience so special! 🙂

I genuinely think this has to be one of the best volunteering positions available on Worldpackers! Nikos is a lovely host who is very flexible and ensures you make the most and truly enjoy yourtime visiting Santorini. The work is easy and clearly outlined, usually only 2/2.5 hours each morning - although sometimes you may have to help later in the day with check in/check out tasks. The other thing to mention is that you don't get a day off, unless there is another volunteer staying at the same time as you (but again Nikos is very flexible if you need). Thank you for an amazing experience! ☺️

My first worldpacker experience was with Nikos and I totally would love to to do it again! Nikos welcomed me so well and provide me a private room where I had everything there. My days in Santorini were filled with jokes and cultural exchanges. Nikos wanted me to cook some Turkish food and he loved “menemen”, “çılbır”, and also his favorite was “kadayıflı muhallebi”. He drived us to the south beaches to enjoy the sea even in windy days. In my last day my ferry got cancelled and thanks to Nikos no problem happened about my accommodation. I suggest this program for solo traveler girlies easily!

Niko is really friendly. The tasks are simple, and you have the whole day to explore. It's an experience I would definitely repeat and recommend!

This was my first solo trip and first time using Worldpackers. It was last-minute on my end, and I was nervous — but I didn't need to be. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcome (and got a home-cooked meal!). The work was super reasonable, and I had the whole day to explore. Thanks to Nikos, I got to experience so much: traditional Greek festivals, authentic food, and even island hopping by speedboat. It was such an incredible experience that I ended up extending my stay by 9 days. I honestly don't think I'll ever top this experience!
