  Beschreibung

  We're a small group of friends who get together to organize meaningful gatherings & activities that celebrate time investment rather than time spent <3
  It all started with us getting to know each other and engaging in deep conversations, cooking, dancing, playing music and discovering the many things we have in common and how we want to have a positive impact both locally and globally, whilst learning more, practicing our skills, many passions and critical minds!
  
  We know that diverse cultural exchanges are so enriching and that's why we are open and inviting to connect with people who are drawn to similar things.
  
  The place is located in a really nice, old-town part of the town, close to the sea (2 min walk), and it's really active, especially in the warm season, offering access to concerts, traditional music, tavernas, parks, beach, museums, Nature and much more!
  
  We can organize trips together and are also happy to share beautiful local gems, for your own discovery;
  
  In our space, there's support and a welcoming attitude towards culturally-aligned initiatives, and the organization of small, cute, non-profit gigs, events, activities, workshops, jam sessions, karaoke, spoken-poetry, movie nights, clothes-swapping, sharing cooking/food, relevant discussions and no margin to our excitement about being - not just existing - in a inspiring refreshing environment!
  
  
  
  That's why we are opening the doors towards artists and other creatives, people to always on the lookout for enriching opportunities!
  
  
  
  Some clarifications:
  We are not a business nor we have a for-profit activity.
  We are all doing what we're doing voluntarily and we do not get paid for this.
  If any contributions, food, donations are obtained, some will be shared with you too!
  We are fully transparent, clear, open, non-violent communicators, and we hope you too!
  
  We believe that tourism and entertainment are massive polluters and we want to steer away from that, inspire change and create experiences that are rooted in sustainability, community, conscious movements and connection.
  
  If you are already on the path of change-making, innovation, mindfulness, you Love Nature and strive to keep it minimal & friendly, we would love to hear from you!
  
  Notice:
  We are especially excited about people who do not entertain substance addiction/abuse - coffee/tobacco/etc - or are ready to do so in private, as we want to promote and inspire healthier, deeper ways to be with each other - and not display or condone a consuming, repetitive behavior around other people.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  Our Goal: Cultural Exchange and Learning
  
  It’s all about sharing cultures, learning from each other, and creating a welcoming space for everyone. When you visit, we want to connect, share stories, and learn new things together.
  
  We enjoy interacting with visitors—hearing your experiences, sharing ours, and exploring new ideas. We hope to learn about different backgrounds, traditions, and perspectives, and to build a community feeling where everyone feels inspired and enriched.
  
  Our main reason for hosting is to open doors to diverse cultural exchanges and learning opportunities—if this sounds exciting, please come by, share your story, and let’s grow together!

  Arbeit

  We are not professionals and we don't expect advanced level of help from visitors - just kindness and goodwill!
  
  We are also experienced with volunteering, therefore we trust we'll be able to accommodate pleasant experiences and we have had great feedback from travelers and locals!
  
  Although there is no regular schedule, we welcome adaptation, we communicate the tasks to do in advance and we flow with it through constant feedback, as we want you to feel included and part of the team on your stay here.
  
  We only ask for about 12 hours of assistance a week, and, in exchange, we can accommodate and, sometimes, share food and snacks.
  
  
  
  
  The exchange is a flexible, easy going one, with plenty of free time and two main areas where we could use an extra hand with:
  
  'The Spot Guardian':
  - keeping the space tidy, cooking;
  - creative DIY, fixing
  - passion for plant/ mini-garden/ compost
  
  'The Cultural Wizard':
  - We are often writing, translating, researching and establishing communication/connection
  we could use someone with interest/talent in these areas (big+ if you speak Greek)
  
  - Are you enthusiastic regarding taking videos/editing, podcasting, writing stories and connecting with people?
  This is also something you could help with!
  
  
  
  Let us know in your message which part appeals more to you, or tell us what your ideas and excitement feel like!
  
  
  
  We welcome new initiatives, creative proactiveness and inspiring energy!
  This is a common, safe space and a cultural playground: what we do is basically playing fairly, learning and growing together!

  Unterkunft

  Accommodation
  
  - Shared room, possibility to organize the space & create more options
  - We can welcome and accommodate a maximum of 3 guests at the moment;
  
  How food will work
  
  - Food will not be provided, since the very few days/hours expected - but access to kitchen, fridge and cooker is of course available. Sometimes we will share food & snacks will be around for grab.
  There are some bakeries and local markets who often giveaway food/fruits/veggies at the end of the day - so it shouldn't be very difficult to make something of that - but since we are not a business and our cultural mission is one which is voluntary based, independent and not for profit - it would be hard to support the food expenses entirely for our visitors & that is why we can not take the full pledge. We really hope you understand and appreciate that

  Everything is within walkable distance: supermarkets, the Mediterranean sea, cooperatives, pubs, parks, and shops of all sorts.
  
  The bus station is close-by for both city and outside city travel. You can rent bikes and scooters and find your way anywhere.
  
  There are nice, unpopular beaches, gorges, caves and camping options and many things happening. You will have plenty of flexibility and time to either join or create amazing moments with both your free time - and with your active one!
