If you come early in the season, the help required will consist in cleaning fields, feeding horses, fixing and painting fences, building shelters, preparing the campsite etc. During the Summer months, the main works consist in feeding and watering horses, cleaning the fields that are near houses, informing visitors about our work, preparing the horses and leading rides for the children.

I stayed at Mouries Farm for 3 weeks and I would absolutely recommend it! The island Skyros is a truely unique and beautiful place which I got to discover in my free time. The other volunteers were super nice and Manolis, the owner, always tried his best to make us feel at home!

I had a great experience volunteering here. I really enjoyed my time on the farm, surrounded by nature and animals like the farm, donkeys, and many cats. The main task is feeding the animals, but there are also other activities like helping with maintenance, which keeps things interesting. I also met wonderful volunteers, which made the experience even better. The location is beautiful and perfect if you're looking to disconnect and be close to nature. The hosts were amazing, very kind, welcoming, and always supportive, which made the whole experience even more special.

I had an amazing time at the farm in Skyros! Lovely the farm, donkeys and cats that you get to look after! You're definitely working for your bed, but it's worth it for the caravan in winter and the breakfast and lunch! The shop is an easy 30 min walk away but it's a bit pricey, I would recommend doing the scenic 2 hour walk into Skyros town to see the acropolis and monastery and to go to the bigger and cheaper supermarket. Hitchhiking was super easy around the island, everyone is very lovely and I felt safe as an 18 year old solo female traveler. Met the lovely manolis and made lots of friends.

My time at the farm was alright. The tasks consisted on feeding the farm and donkeys plus filling up boxes with hay (during winter time). I had to do everything on my own for a week which was doable, but is better if you have someone else with you, as you can split the tasks and do the boxes together as is the most annoying thing to do (on my perspective). When the weather was good I was able to explore a bit of the island by foot.

Skyros is incredibly beautiful - you have both mountains and the sea close so there’s always something to do for everyone. When I was there the work consisted mostly of feeding the horses. The animals are all very nice. You get food at the tavern which is very good in my opinion.
