The Experience

We're looking for someone to assist us in organizing boat trips. At the dock where all boats depart, we have a stand with our company name at the entrance. Many people pass by and ask for information about our trips. Our priority is to provide them with information and to welcome guests who have already booked.

My experience with Foti and Helena was truly amazing! I can not recommend them enough. Such kind people. The work is easy shifts was from 6pm-11pm. There are lots of other volunteers in himare so I made lots of friends. Such a beautiful place I highly recommend volunteering with Foti and staying in himare 🤍

My time working at the boat was great and i would recommend it to anyone! Communication with Foti was very easy from the beginning on, he was super kind and always making sure i have everything i need. Helena was the one managing the boat and she as well was very welcoming and helpful, always making sure i am having a good time. My working hours were 18:00-23:00 and i was giving out information about the boat and giving out flyers. The accommodation is just like in the picture, clean and equipped with everything. The location was good. I got to go on a boat tour as well!

I am so thankful I got to work with Foti at his company. I had such an amazing time. Foti and his family as such lovely people and everyone who works at the boat were wonderful. The accomodation and food was both great and only a short walk to the waterfront! I got to experience the boat in the best way and engage in both tourists and locals which made the experience incredibly special and to experience a bit of the local culture. It was an absolute joy working for Foti and I wish I had stayed longer. Absolutely 100% recommend coming here and experiencing it for yourself!

I had a wonderful time in Himare, it’s truely such an amazing place, and I’m so grateful for my time with Foti and Helena! The hours are very good as it’s only 5 hours in the evening so you have the entire day to explore Himare. You are at the beach stand alone most evenings so being comfortable and confident alone is crucial for this volunteer position. This is the only reason I have given this rating as personally I thrive and enjoy a team/group environment more. Anyone thinking of coming, you will have an amazing time, and feel free to message with any questions 😊

My experience at the boat was absolutely amazing. I was so lucky to be hosted by such a kind person as Foti. He respected my hours and was very understanding of the limitations of being off-season. He was incredibly accommodating. I felt like I could easily ask him for anything and I knew he would do everything in his power to help me. I had lots of fun. Himare is a beautiful town and the accommodation provided was very nice as well. I cannot recommend this volunteering position enough!
