Description
Hello, my name is Martha. I am in my 70s and a teacher of English. I live in a two-storey house in the outskirts of Alexandroupolis in North Greece. It is located in a very quiet place, on top of a hill overlooking the coast and the city center, both of which are only a few minutes away. The property is a 7.5 acre piece of land with various fruit trees, olive trees, pine trees etc. There is a vineyard with about a hundred plants and a garden with all the seasonal vegetables, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchinis, various chilly peppers, etc. After my husband's passing, 4 years ago, I've been taking care of it all by myself but now I lack the stamina to do all the housework or take care of the garden. I can offer accommodation as well as meals, in exchange for help with the property and household chores.

Accommodation
There is a bedroom on the second floor with its own bathroom, and guests can have breakfast with me and at least one main meal.
What else ...
Helpers here could explore nearby picturesque villages along the seaside or mountains around. There are two or three museums in the city and a nice walk or bicycle lane along the port. Regarding public transportation I don't know much-as I drive everywhere - but we can find out as needed. As for myself I spend the day mostly at home reading, watching films on YouTube or playing games and of course cooking my favorite meals and desserts.
