  Description

  update 7 November 2024,
  You should be NOT SKEARMISH about decluttering an old shac, and garden, not afraid of such things.. You should be ok with painting walls (my parents are over 80). I will help you to the point that i can. You will not paint or clean debris more than 3 hours per day and the rest of day I will try (not always able) to drive you to nearest bus station to take bus to limassol so that you sightsee the city (if you want).
  
  Internet is not constant, I have ''unlimited plan'' in my mobile.
  
  I am gladly going to offer you free internet via hotspot daily to check your emails etc. watch some youtube,
  
  but all that means we have to sit on the table for 30 minutes or so.
  
  Clearly not all day. If you go to lImassol most cafes have free wifi (starbucks etc). When you return at night I will pick you up from bus station.
  
  Weekends I will drive you if you want to local sightseeing (or to the bus station to take bus to other places), personally I know some nice medieval spots around and inside Limassolthat i can show you.
  
  update 5 november 2024, i can now offer times per week car transfer from the house to bus station, so that you can go explore limassol city
  
  Hi, we can only accommodate campers with RV car or tent. You can buy cheap tent from a store (i can tell you). We have plenty of space at the back for more than 1 tents. We temporarily share wc/shower with you but in near future we hope to make a wc/shower only for visitors at the back (not compost).
  
  I have various creative ideas. We need more shade in summer and protection from little but still heavy rain in cyprus wnters. so if anyone knows how to build (together) a pergola (nothing fancy nothing professional but sturdy and I will be helping, also my elderly father will be helping), would be fun
  
  There is no much work here except specific projects to do like : create shades, cleaning debris (here used to be car breaker facitiy), painting walls etc. These are specific projects for 1-2 days per week then you can be completely free to explore cyprus on your own.
  
  Please note that the roads here for 3 km are only asphalt no pedestrian on either side. So you take your one responsibiity if you decided to stay here, you must walk 3 km to nearest bus station on rural road that do have aslphalt but NO PEDESTRIAN WAYS. There is no night lights n thesee roads. Nearest bus station take you to Limassol city center until 20.00 daily (less frequent service on weekends). The other way of the bus line goes to Curium Beach. So you have a way to go to the beach if you are ok walking in non pedestrian roads in the heat of the sun in summer (not really recommended.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  - native Greek family, if you ever nearly wanted to learn modern Greek, you can do that here,
  
  - My mother and I cook middle east and greek food that we can share with you (if you want). We also eat olives made in cyprus and can discuss abut Koumandaria (local sweet wine). Many tourists when the leave cyprus they buy koumandaria bottle from duty free :)) Its very sweet wine like Port of Portugal and usually I dont have it at home but there is a Wine Museum in a nearby village that you can access by walking 2km to bus station then taking a bus or i will drive you there. There they give you samples of local wines. The ticket is 7 euro last time i checked (its a private museum about wines).
