Description
We are two good friends, Anna (42) and Stavros (52). 6 years ago we moved from the big city of Thessaloniki to the beautiful island of Skopelos, to get involved in a small touristic business.
Our House is situated in a quiet area, surrounded by olive trees and many cats! Our main work is during the summer (holiday apartments), so we are living a more relaxed life from October to April.
We are usually doing general maintenance and repairs, farming and garden work and small DIY projects and builds.
PLEASE NOTE:
From March until May our schedule involves much more agricultural work and requires working with soil, so you are required to possess the respective physical strength / stamina and some typical agricultural knowledge about Mediterranean soils.
We have almost all the tools we need. So we need some helping brains AND hands.
We will be glad to have nice and honest people, to share ideas and good time working together and enjoying the simple things in life. Some physical strength will be needed and you may get dirty, but you will be rewarded by complete absence of mental / psychological stress. We welcome people with sense of humor, as this makes life and working much more enjoyable!
Anna is vegetarian, she is a dynamic person and likes walking in the nature, winter swimming, gardening, farming and being surrounded by animals. She is open minded, outgoing and likes to gather knowledge about pets, plants and vegetables.
Stavros likes eating fish and loves sweets, likes technology, computers, electronics, cars and motorbikes, DIY and projects. He has a technical mind and precise hands, that often get dirty in order to fix what is broken or improve whatever can be improved.
We will be happy to hear from you!

What else ...
Skopelos is one of the most beautiful Greek islands, one of the few that combine the Green of the trees and the Blue of the Aegean sea.
There are countless remote places you can visit, full of mind blowing views that remain unforgettable.
Skopelos' island main town (named Skopelos as well) is about 13Km away. It's a quiet place with no nightlife during the winter, but walking in the small alleys and enjoying the view of the traditional beauty of the small houses is rewarding.
We are driving there at least 3 times a week for shopping, have a coffee or other needs.
We occasionally drive to other places to meet some friends or enjoy food at a tavern.
There is a local bus line that commutes from one side of the island to the other, 3 times a day.
