Beschreibung
Kalimera! We are Kj and Debs and we live on the rugged south coast of Crete with our 9 rescue dogs. We are English but previously lived in France where we made many wonderful friends through hosting with Workaway.
We are now living on the south coast of Crete and look forward to connecting with people who can lend us a hand with general renovation work and in the garden. Volunteers with any experience in electrical work, plumbing or carpentry are particularly needed!
Our house is located 200m from Dermatos beach on the Libyan sea - a peaceful, remote location, surrounded by olive groves and backed by the Lassithi mountains.
After breakfast the day starts with dog walking along the beach and in the surrounding olive groves. Then it is mostly outdoor physical work such as decking, painting, landscaping, planting, and creating gabion walls. We break for coffee and snacks mid morning, and a freshly prepared, home cooked lunch marks the end of your volunteering day. The rest of the day is your own for relaxing, exploring or maybe enjoying a dip in the pool or chilling on the nearby beach.
Dinner is served at around 8pm. KJ has worked in the the restaurant world all his life and loves to cook so there’s loads of opportunities to help and learn how to prepare delicious dishes from all over the globe. Thai, Chinese, Indian, Middle Eastern, Italian and French feature regularly on the menu!
We ask for 25 hours per week in return for meals, snacks and accommodation.
You will need to be dog lovers as our dogs love will want to get to know you and your accommodation to seek out any food treats you might leave lying around ! The dogs are free to run and play in the fenced garden and they sleep on the terrace or in the house.
Locally we have 2 villages nearby (Tsoutsouros 3.5 kms, Kastri-Keratokambos 5 kms) with seasonal tavernas, beach bars and year-round minimarkets selling basic groceries.
This area of Crete is undiscovered and very beautiful – an ideal place for nature lovers and beachcombers! There are many lovely walks and beaches to discover in our area however please note that it is very quiet with no nightlife and no public transport. A driving licence valid for driving manual cars in Greece would be useful.
Please contact us with any questions - we look forward to hearing from you, and hopefully welcoming you to our home very soon.

Unterkunft
Whilst we are renovating our house we can offer accommodation in tents, or space for those travelling in campervans. We have plenty of space for vans to park up close to hook ups for water & electrics, and there are 2 tents pitched under the olive trees at the end of the garden. Each tent has an electric point and 2 single beds complete with bedding. There is a shady Workaway terrace where you can relax with a table and chairs, hammocks, outside shower and sink, fridge and freezer facilities, microwave and kettle. The house bathroom is shared with volunteers also.
Was noch ...
Cool off by taking a refreshing dip in our pool or stroll down to the beach just a few minutes walk away. There are deserted pebble beaches suitable for swimming and beachcombing within walking distance and sandy beaches within a few kms. There are some beautiful walks/hikes and impressive gorges for exploring in the area. Close to Keratokampos is the 10m high Richtra waterfall which is worth visiting (in spring). We are situated 1 hour from Heraklion (international airport, main ferry port and famous Palace of Knossos). Our area is very quiet in the winter season with no nightlife nor local public transport but livens up from May to October when the local bars and tavernas open to welcome visitors.

Keith and Deborah are fantastic hosts and the country side was perfect for day hikes. :)

Vom Host für Workawayer (Alberto)
Alberto was here with us and an Italian workaway guy, Pietro. They were a fantastic help with our renovation project and looking after our 9+ rescue dogs. Every day smiling ,willing and eager to lean new skills. One of the best workaway experiences we have had. Welcome back any time.

Vom Workawayer (Pietro ) für Host
I've been five weeks in Gondrin with Keith and Deborah; the place is peaceful and in the middle of lovely hills. The work is never boring and never the same. During the meals I ate as a king because Keith is an amazing cook: your mouth will travel all around the world, tasting the dishes of the most exotic countries.

Vom Workawayer (Elsa) für Host
Staying with Keith and Debs was great, I was here for nearly a month and had a really good time. Food is exceptional and company too, I was here with two other workawayers and had a great time overall, the dogs can be a bit of a challenge but it's definitely worth it! Would thoroughly recommend.

It was a real pleasure to meet Carl and get to know him during the weeks he stayed with us. He is a kind, gentle and thoughtful guy who was keen to help out with all and any job that was going. A hard worker as well who took real pride and care in what he was tasked with. Carl was also really interested in learning new skills including… read more

Vom Workawayer (Carl) für Host
I will never forget my two weeks with Debs & Keith. You would have a hard time finding hosts who are more welcoming and patient. The work itself was fun and gratifying, and it was cool to learn how to care for the different animals around the property. AND THE FOOD...it was truly top notch. Thank you Debs & Keith for the amazing experience!

We really enjoyed meeting Nick and hosting him. He is a charming, hard working individual who throws himself at any challenge you might give him. We found him thorough, responsible and with a "can do" attitude to helping. He was fun to have around and helped out with the dogs alot. Dont miss him if he comes your way!

Conal was a great help to us last winter (and sorry for the delay in the feedback!) when we had some physical work that needing doing - laying a concrete screed, rotovating and clearing land and general outdoor work. He is fit, strong and willing - and has an active and intelligent mind so conversations were lively and fun. He worked hard and… read more

Vom Workawayer (Conal) für Host
When it comes to a good workaway, I’m starting to feel that there are 2 broad experiences people are looking for. The first is the kind of place where the host doesn’t expect too much from you and you are mostly left to your own devices. This lets you follow your own path of development and concentrate on learning things you maybe didn’t have the… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Stephanie)
It was great having Steph around this summer to create order out of chaos! She is a lovely person to have around - always helping out without being asked - and is able to work well on her own or as part of a team. A mature individual with a bright mind and willing hands. Highly recommended.

I stayed with Keith and Debs for a month in July/August. I arrived with 5 other workawayers from Spain & when we arrived Debs was away for work and its fair to say the house needed a good old spring clean :) We got stuck in the very next day and Keith & Debs are flexible about the specific times you work so we did 8am-1 and were able to enjoy our… read more

My two weeks spent with Deb and Keith were brilliant. Right from my first evening I was made to feel right at home and a part of the workaway family.
The work was very fair and varied, and I hope I contributed enough in return for the hospitality that I received. The animals were a lot of fun to take care of - I sorely miss waking up to two… read more

Amy stayed with us for 2 weeks in the Autumn - it was her first WorkAway experience and she was great to have around. Considerate of others and always obliging, Amy undertook all the work cheerfully and responsibly. She fitted in well with the other WorkAways staying at the time and proved herself a team player. We highly recommend her to other… read more

Pru stayed with us for a month and was a pleasure to host. Capable, confident, kind and always cheerful....whatever the task, she tackled it with a "can do" attitude. She has a gift with animals and our dogs and kittens instinctively were drawn to her. She is a great team player and also a team leader, able to think out of the box and work with… read more

I spent a month with Deb and Keith on their lovely farm! I had such a great time they not only treat you incredibly with amazing meals but they also help you experience the surrounding French countryside which was a delight! They would always ensure that we were comfortable and had all that we needed. Helping them out on their farm was an absolute… read more

Jamie was a great girl to have around - responsible, capable, fun and organised. She uses her initiative to ensure nothing is missed on the farm and we cannot recommend her highly enough. We're missing you already Jamie - thanks for your contribution!
