Arbeit
We are looking for help with the olive harvest, from roughly mid-November through until Christmas.
After Christmas is the time for general maintenance, cleaning land, rebuilding terraces etc. In return for your exertions, we hope to offer you a unique insight into the lifestyle of rural Greece, the traditional methods of olive husbandry, and especially the food, wine and culture of the Peloponnese.We are sorry to say that we would prefer that you were not vegan or vegetarian (during the olive harvest it is hard to cater for different diets) -

The communication beforehand was super easy and friendly. With Greece going into the Corona Lockdown, we could even arrive a little early. Charlie, Ellie and their daughter Lexi greeted us warmly and we felt at home on their beautiful farm from day one.
