  Description

  Hello,
  
  we are a German couple who live near Pantanassa on the Peloponnese/Lakonia in south Greece. We cultivate 600 olive trees without any chemicals and are certified in organic farming according to ΔΗΩ. We have some wine and a garden.
  
  In June we need someone, who does housesitting, that means watering the garden and feeding our cat.
  
  
  We can show you how olive trees are cultivated organically, how we deal with insect problems, what kind of fertilizers are allowed in biological farming, what are the main problems in gardening in the Greek climate, how solar energy works, and what it means to live far out in the country and be in nature. We will also visit the olive oil factory.)
  
  Between november and december we need help harvesting the olives.
  .
  If you come with your camper there is enough space and you may use the our facilities.
  
  So we hope to see you soon in beautiful Lakonia.
  Jutta, Jürgen and Lotta
  
  Organic methods: We have been doing certified organic farming for 8 years.
  
  We do organic farming for more than thirty years - in Germany and as well since we came to Greece about 16 years ago. All these efforts we do just for ourselves and for fun.
  
  Certifications: We are controlled by ΔΗΩ
  
  Type of help: Gardening (Olive harvest.)

  What else ...

  Lakonia has many archeological and natural places (caves) to visit. The houses among the olive trees with sea view are not located in a village, 3 km dirt road to a lonely beach, where you may swim even in November/December. We have photovoltaic- energy and water from a drill. The bigger village Neapoli is about 9 km south. It has many opportunities for hiking, music, etc. Even riding a bike along the beaches is fun.
