I am Michalis (or Michael) and i am also a workawayer beside a host.
I have Workawayed more than ten times in my workaway journey mostly helping in animal and dog shelters, which is more like a life goal and a passion.
So recently i decided to join as a host.I am managing my family business hotel the last five years,as my father has retired and my mother works at a primary school.
We want help mostly cleaning the guest rooms and a few times help with our garden.
The working enviroment is relaxed with positive vibes.
Good knowlegde of English language is required. Italian are also very welcome,as its the third language i talk.I can teach you the basics of the Greek language.I am also highly interested in learning the German and French language.

Leros is also a beautifull traditional small greek island which has great history from the ancient years until the WWII with many historic attractions and museums.
There is an airport that connects the island with Athens with two fligths per day and its close to Kos,Rhodes and Samos where are big international airports which are connected with aiports from all Europe.There is also daily sea connection with many islands and Athens too.
We are offering wage per every working hour.So you need to have a visa or a passport with you.
Specifically we pay 5 euro per every working hour.
We provide one indipendent apartment (35 square meters),fully equipment with its own kitchen,washing machine and private bathroom.Wifi is free and available all the time.We offer also breakfast and lunch but keep in mind that meat and fish are very important incredients of the greek kitchen if you are vegetarian or vegan.There are some days that we cook vegetarian dishes.You can give us also a list of things that you may need and we will buy that for you from the local super market.
We really appreciate book lovers, as my mother is a big fan of literature, so you can find a big variety of books written in English in our library.
Our place has a happy,calm and joyful Greek energy and we love to live in positive vibes.
So having a calm, positive and honest personality is the most important.
