    Description

    We are a Swiss couple with a dog who decided to spend part of our lives in beautiful Greece. Sunshine, Sea, the Greek Way of Life & a daily holiday feeling - are the reason why we are here in Greece.
    Would you like to work where others go on holiday?

    We are looking for a reliable, hands-on and easy-going person who would enjoy helping us with a variety of projects around our home on the Peloponnese, near Monemvasia (approximately 10 minutes by car from Monemvasia).
    We are happy to welcome someone who enjoys getting things done, but we are equally excited about meeting new people, having interesting conversations and sharing a little piece of everyday Greek life.
    We speak German, English and French – and are currently bravely trying to learn Greek. 😉
