Unfortunately, my experience was cut short by a motorcycle accident on my second day on the island. During the two days I worked, everything went well. The working hours were as described, approximately four hours per day, and the Airbnbs are in a beautiful beach. The hosts were kind to me, and easygoing. Since I was unable to walk, they also helped me get to the port so I could leave the island and return home. Although I didn't get the chance to explore the island or experience the full volunteer stay, I'm grateful for the help I received.

I had a great experience volunteering in Milos. The work was not too demanding, no experience was needed, and the working hours were actually less than expected. Vasilis and Melissa are lovely and great to work with. With them, what you give is what you get back. Everything was very well organized, with clear schedules, and the portal they created made everything easy to follow. Milos is amazing, with beautiful beaches and lots to explore. We also went on boat trips, which was a highlight. I had a really nice time and would happily do it again.

It's incredible how time flew with Vasili and Melissa.!They're both good company,kind,friendly,caring and open-minded.They took us to a village feast where we danced with the locals to traditional Greek music,and they organized an unforgettable boat trip for us.They also invited us to watch the football world cup final together and taste local wine. Regarding the work,I mainly ironed flat bedsheets and pillowcases on a steam press, folded towels or helped get the guest house ready for the guests.There're two checklists Mely guided me through.I explored Milos' stunning beaches in my free time!❤️

This was my first worldpackers experience and I loved it! Vasileios and Melissa were lovely and provided great accomodation for me in the Worldpackers house. The work was 4 hours per day, and they were pretty flexible. I mainly did ironing which I really enjoyed. Working only 4 hours for the day allowed me to explore Milos aswell, which is such a beautiful island!!! I would love to come back sometime. Thankyou guys 💕

I stayed with Vasilios for two weeks and had an amazing experience. He is honest, fair, generous, fun to be around, and genuinely cares about his volunteers. The work is dynamic and often depends on tourist schedules, so some days are busy while others are completely free. In my case, I even had five consecutive days off because my help wasn't needed. Just remember that accommodation is exchanged for your work, so do your part and give your best. You get what you give. If you come with a good attitude, you'll have the time of your life.
