    Description

    Hi, we are a couple in mid 30's living on a small village in East Zagori.
    Our place is about 30 minutes by car from Ioannina a beautifull city with 100.000 people, and about 20 minutes from Metsovo.
    Zagori is a beautiful area consisting of 46 traditional villages. Is the best well preserved mountainous area of Greece. There is a great variety of plants and animals. There are many sights to see, many paths for hiking.

    We try hard to create an organic farm.
    We start grown organic beans, tomatos, we make our own red wine and a traditional drink called tsipouro.We will also start grown wheat, lentil, and other plants.

    We are also have 4 dogs, some chickens,Hens,rabits and hare.

    The place is ideal for people who wants to live in the nature,help with gandens and farm and do some trekking and explore Zagori, Metsovo,Ioannina etc.

    What we want from you
    First of all, we want to meet and have fun with interesting people near to our age, we want you to work together for about 4 hours per day,and 5 days a week(if you need more free time just tell me) when weather situations is good. All the other time is free for you to do what ever you want and why not to have some fun together.

    You will eat meals with us, we are not vegeterian but if someone is that is not problem, we can just cook some vegeterian foods.

    Help

    Volunteers will work about 4 hours a day and 5 days per week. We want help to our organic crops, someone to feed dogs and chickens, and some time some help with building works to an old house that we want to rebuild (you dont need to know anything about build works, its too simple). If you need more free time we can do it, we just need to arrange that.

    We are 33 years old, openminded people.
    We preffer the voluteers to be a couple, near to our age, so we can understand eachother and also have some fun when we finish the work.
    Volunteers can do trekking in the mountains of Zagori, Valia calda and Metsovo, you can also tour to Ioannina city (about 30 minutes by car), its a beautifull city with many sights , many restaurants and bars.
    In summertime you can drive about an hour and swimm to the Ionio beaches (preveza, thesprotia).
    During the summer there is a small pool available for all of us in the back yard.

    We will try to drive you (for sure to Ioannina, my wife goes there at least every second day), to Mestovo , and maybe to some other zagori villages.
