Description
Hello,
we need someone or two people who know a little bit about organic gardening and want to stay 2 weeks in May and June 2024 because we may go for a travel /hike You just have to look after our cats and water the garden and help cleaning and watering the olive ground, cutting the gras and the trees. Easy doing!
We are a German couple who live near Pantanassa on the Peloponnese/Lakonia in south Greece. We cultivate 600 olive trees without any chemicals and are certified in organic farming according to ΔΗΩ. We have some wine and a garden.
We are vegetarians and have a lovely dog, named Lotta.
We can show you how olive trees are cultivated organically, how we deal with insect problems, what kind of fertilizers are allowed in biological farming, what are the main problems in gardening in the Greek climate, how solar energy works, and what it means to live far out in the country and be in nature. We will also visit the olive oil factory.)
.
If you come with your camper there is enough space and you may use the our facilities.
So we hope to see you soon in beautiful Lakonia.
Jutta, Jürgen and Lotta

What else ...
Lakonia has many archeological and natural places (caves) to visit. The houses among the olive trees with sea view are not located in a village, 3 km dirt road to a lonely beach, where you may swim even in November/December. We have photovoltaic- energy and water from a drill. The bigger village Neapoli is about 9 km south. It has many opportunities for hiking, music, etc. Even riding a bike along the beaches is fun.
