The experience

Come help our family to harvest the olives while enjoying the Mediterranean scenery, the sea, traditional food and much more around Athens! :)

Our main task is harvesting the olives. The work can be physically demanding, typical workhours are 07.00 - 15.00. Some days may be dedicated to taking care of the olive trees (pruning ect). We will only have 4 workdays per week so we can have plenty of time to relax and explore in between. :)

After work you have plenty of time to explore, we are more than happy to accompany you and show you around :)
