Program Details
We look for people with somes skills and love for eco-buildung and gardening. You will mostly work with Marco, he'll show and explain you, what to do. Every day might be different, some days you work on the house, others on the olives, or in the garden; in the free time you can relax on the beach, swim or make beautiful walks.
On the days you work with us, we'll offer a snack/breakfast and dinner.
Activities & Shift
As accomodation we can offer until end of October a caravan. We also have a big round tent. You can also come with your own van or tent. A water toilet and bathroom are there. From November on we'll have an appartement in the village. It has internet and a balcony, one single bed and one double bed, a kitchenette (should you wish to cook) and a private bathroom. Although we do not mind if you are smokers, you are not permitted to smoke inside the accommodation provided.
It is gorgeous here. Our place is a ten minute walk from the village and the sea - so a walk on the beach morning and night are totally within your reach. in the village you have access to coffee shops and tavernas (depending on which stay open off season!)
We will provide a main meal and a snack on the days that you volunteer with us.
