+ : Milos is a beautiful island but nothing worth leaving in an awkward and anxiety inducing atmosphere. - : Vasilis the host should improve the leadership if he want the volunteers to give their « absolute best ». It's human to make mistakes but not for him : he scream, yell, get mad easy. In march He didn't gave me instructions or rules, and tell me it's « logical », using intimidation wanting me to feel stupid. The accommodation was very humid, full of dead and alive cockroach, he didn't clean it before I arrived. I am very worried by the way he treats volunteers. I am traumatized.

Milos is a stunning island! I enjoyed the beach every single day after my shift. There wasn't much work at the guest house since it was still low season, so mainly the job was to help paint the host's house and do some cleaning and ironing. Mind you, Vasilis is great, but he is very detailed and perfectionist so he will want you to do your absolute best. I had a place all to myself which was awesome! The island is very big, so I couldn't go everywhere, but at least I could go to the beaches that were close to the house. Thank you Vasilis for this opportunity!

It was my first experience as a backpacker and I must say it was the best one ever!! Since I arrived the kindness of Vasilis, Duvrola and Spiro were amazing. Thanks so much!!! The place to work is beautiful as this is a big plus!! Milos is a very nice island where you can relax from the city noises and get connected with nature, local people and amazing food. Everyone was super polite and kind and I will definitely recommend the experience with Vasilis and the family! You all were great 😃👍❤️ thanks again!!

Vassilis is a great and experienced host, knows a lot about Greece/Milos and speaks many languages. The work is fair, basically cleaning and you have a stunning view while doing it. Drousula and Spyros ( his parents) were amazing people, so sweet it felt like living near your grandparents also the best food I had on the island. You have your own house with everything you need in it. It was an amazing experience in a great place with beautiful people. TKS for having me there and showing me how Greece and it's people are special. hopefully I'll be back someday. All the best ! Obrigada xx

My time in Milos was unforgettable. I stayed for a month and managed to explore the whole island thanks to Vasilis. He is very kind and a generous man, and I cannot thank him enough for offering me this opportunity. I had the best month of my life, spending everyday on the boats and beaches and even completing my scuba license! The island is I'm sure one of the most beautiful in the world and anyone who gets the chance to visit here is blessed. Thank you again Vasilis for everything! 🤩
