The lodge is a perfect place if you are looking for peace and tranquility to disconnect from the rest of the world. Chryssa is super nice and thoughtful. She shares a lot and cares about introducing you to the culture of the country. She often takes you to places where you can get to know the local culture. It's a very quiet place and after the hours of work you have during the day, you are free to do whatever you want.

Some people come into our lives and leave a little light behind. ✨

ΑΝΝΑ, thank you for the tours, the traditional dances, the laughter, the celebrations, and our magical day at sea! β›΅πŸ’ƒ

But above all, thank you for your light, your dignity, and your beautiful soul.

You are more than a volunteer. You are our friend, and you will always be part of the Arsinoe family.

I loved my experience at the lodge! If you are more of a city person and do not like being farther away from shops, restaurants, ect, then this will not be the place for you. But I loved the tranquility and peace. The rooms are clean and decorated cute, as well as the whole place has a very welcoming energy! Chryssa is very nice and makes wonderful meals. The work is easy and you will have a lot of free time to relax or go to the beach (10 min walk, but uphill!) I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting an authentic greek village experience.

I really enjoyed my stay at the lodge ! Chrissa is an amazing and very caring host ☺️. She often takes you to local activities and events, which is a great way to experience the area. She also prepares delicious meals whenever she has time. The area is very peaceful and surrounded by nature. The work schedules were respected and the tasks were always easy and straightforward. There is no public transport, but we found it easy to walk to the beach or to the village of Vathi. I would definitely recommend this experience to any easy going person looking for an authentic stay. ☺️

I spent a month at the lodge with the lovely Chryssa, and it was an incredible, calming experience that I will never forget. The location is quite secluded, with no public transport, but we found the walks to the beach and Vathi enjoyable and easy. If your someone who prefers a highly structured schedule and clear routine this may not be the place for you. The atmosphere is very relaxed and easy going , allowing you to slow down and appreciate the simple things. I would wholeheartedly recommend the lodge to anyone seeking a simpler way of living and the quiet pleasures that come with it.πŸ’œ

I absolutely loved my volunteering experience at the lodge! Chryssa is a very warm and welcoming person she made us feel comfortable and right at home. The tasks were pretty much as described on the site, mainly cleaning and helping her welcome new guests, the work hours were always well respected. the lodge is a beautiful place I absolutely recommend it, the area around the center is full of beautiful nature, swimming spots and paths that you can enjoy on you time off! I stated for a month here but would have definitely stayed longer if I could've as i truly loved my experience :)
