  Description

  My name is Margot, I am 67 years old, am from Holland but moved to Greece / Crete 23 years ago.
  
  I live alone with my doggy. I am a social person but I also need quiet some 'alone time'. I have a healthy (almost vegan) lifestyle. I use a lot of local products like vegetables, fruits, nuts, eggs & honey. Drinking water I obtain from the spring,
  
  I live a simple life in a rather remote, deserted mountain village (600 meters high) with just a few older villagers. So you will be in very quiet surroundings. The nearest seaside village (with a great vibe and young open-minded people) is Mirtos. There are no shops and there is no public transport but I go to do shopping once a week in the nearest town (Ierapetra) or go to see my friends and be close to the sea.
  
  
  
  I sometimes entertain people at home with meals, movies and I love to play card games (bridge). If you like you are welcome to join of course.
  
  In the winter i use an airco and a fireplace to heat up my 1 room space. The guestroom has electric heating.
  I offer a guest room (separate entrance) and a shared bathroom (also separated entrance), Of course, you can relax on my terrace that has a great view.
  
  I have a health condition that interferes with my strength now and then. But in general I manage just fine.
  
  PAINTING OUTSIDE HOUSE - decorating
  
  At the beginning of APRIL, I hope to find someone to paint the outside of my house and help me with my pot plants. Cleaning up and making the outside ready for summer.
  
  I guess it could be done in a week but, i also want you to enjoy your time and maybe spend time together going to the seaside or a sightseeing trip.
  
  DOG/HOUSE SITTING
  
  At the end of April i will be gone for a bit more than a week. I like someone to stay with my doggy because she won't come with me.
  
  You are welcome to eat with me and you can use my kitchen to create and surprise me with your dishes.
  
  I like sightseeing so I will invite you on trips to explore the island in my Fiat Panda.
  
  And you need to know I still have a modest smoking habit.
