My experience at the host was truly unforgettable. Konstantina and stuff members were super welcoming and from the very beginning made me feel at home. The location is in the heart of city centre (2 minutes from metro station) and opportunities of spending free time are endless - I especially recommend checking nearby Exarcheia which became my favourite area :)) Tasks are easy and most of the time don't take more than agreed hours to complete. I cannot recommend this experience enough, thank you Konstantina and hope to see you again in the future! <33

My time here was fun and meaningful. The location was fantastic. The staff was helpful and kind and I learned a lot from the chef about cooking. Class days could be stressful and usually required additional prep/clean time. The booking system allows people to sign up 1 hour before class which can make planning things on your personal time difficult as you may need to be on standby. Our duties when there weren't classes were chill. The living situation was nice but the plumbing can be a big issue (this is a city-wide problem, not just this building). Overall, I would still recommend this opp :)

My experience with the host was an amazing first volunteering experience. The agreed working hours and tasks was respected, whit flexibility when you needed. This gave to me plenty of time to explore Athens, immerse myself in Greek culture, and connect whit people from all over the world. I felt welcomed throughout my stay. I'm truly grateful I chose the host for my first volunteering experience. It was unforgettable, and inspired me to continue volunteering and discovering new places.

Working at the host is an amazing experience! The work is exactly as described in the application, with food prep and cleaning being the main responsibilities. The staff is very accommodating, and you're provided with different written materials in order to get the hang of things (think guidelines). There were issues with the plumbing during my stay, however once the cause was discovered, the problem became easy to avoid. I had a great time!

I had a brilliant time with the host- everyone was extremely welcoming and friendly and all the work was super manageable and as described in the listing. The location was very central, it was easy to explore the city, meet lots of people and really immerse in the local culture. There were a few issues with the plumbing but this is to be expected anywhere in Greece.
