Description
We are six friends. The four of us are couples.
We are from Komotini, a town at north east of Greece.
Our names are:
Sissy and Kostas (couple),
Nikos and Dina (couple),
Miguel and Jorge.
Kostas/Sissy's and Miguel's houses are near the city center.
Nikos/Dina and Jorge live outside the city (3 km) at a place surrounded by trees without neighbors just nature !!
Kostas/Sissy's and Miguel's fields are about 3-5 km out of the city.
We are not professional gardeners or farmers but we try to be self-sufficient.
In our fields we try to produce just enough vegetables to cover our food needs. We want to host people because our time is very limited and we need some extra help with our garden and our house but mainly because we like meeting new people, and learning about their cultures.
Miguel has an olive orchard and a garden where also apart from his vegetables he has chickens to take care.
Nikos'/Dina's and Jorge's gardens are where their houses are.

Forget your worries and your shoes at the gate they are not needed here! I enjoyed pulling weeds barefoot in the garden, picking fruit, making homemade juice, learning how to make bread, learning a bit of tai chi, greek nights out on the town and the sea and most of all being welcomed as part of the family. Thank you so much!
