    Description

    Hi i'm Thanasis, I live in a traditional village in the mountains in northern Greece. I'm an artist. I'm planning to make a farm and then maybe a traditional eco inn. The village is very quiet and there are many mountains and rivers around. It is 50km far from Thessaloniki and there is a daily bus to here from the city.

    I registered on workaway because I'd like to have some travellers around to work together on the projects and to enjoy and be happy together!

    We'll share the cooking and I'll treat you with some good Greek cuisine (I'm sorry but it is not vegan friendly)

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I have been travelling a lot myself and living in different countries and places around Europe. I am an artist myself and been working with DJ'ing and movies for many years. I want help with easy tasks around the house, I am not asking for heavy or complicated work and not many hours. I would like to bring travellers here for cultural exchange, for us to enjoy and also for a more open culture of the whole village where there are mostly Greeks living and not many tourists around.
    I will show you some nice places around and take you to the local tavern during your stay here. I can teach you about cooking Greek cuisine and share and introduce you to some good Greek, eastern and world music. I also got a very old ceramic oven here and i would like to start experimenting with making the best pizzas in the world.

    The house i am living is from 1798 and it needs some good care and some maintenance of course. It is difficult to keep it in a good shape myself. Also I would need some help in the gardening of it and of another property i owe where I would like to plant some vegetables and breed chickens.
    I need help with simple outdoor and indoor detail refining around the house and yard. My father who lived here quite long ago is a visual artist and the place is very colourful with a lot of small details that I would like to restore. For example to brush old colours off old metal things and furnitures and then repaint them. And to take care of the place and keep it in a good condition. I would also like some help with some computer tasks since I am not good at it.
