Descrição
Kalimera! We are Kj and Debs and we live on the rugged south coast of Crete with our 8 rescue dogs and we are looking for helping hands to work in our garden from May 21 to June 9, 2025.
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. The work will be outdoor physical help such as clearing the land, weeding, digging, planting, and simple DIY such as varnishing, painting etc. We ask for 25 hours per week in return for meals and accommodation.
Accommodation is either a twin room in the garden sharing the house facilities or an apartment in the nearby village shared with other volunteers.
Only dog lovers need apply as our dogs are free to run and play in the fenced garden and they sleep on the terrace or in the house!
Work starts at 9 and we break for coffee and snacks mid morning. A freshly prepared, home cooked lunch at 2 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 before dinner.
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. Bikes can be rented locally.
Please contact us with any questions - we look forward to hearing from you, and hopefully welcoming you to our home very soon.Tipos de ajuda e oportunidades de aprendizado

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 a couple of kms away. There are some beautiful walks/hikes and impressive gorges for exploring in the area. 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.

The place was amazing and I really enjoyed myself and also got more of a feel for the Greek lifestyle. KJ and Debz were fantastic hosts! 10/10 would recommend 🫒🙏
