Description
Hi there,

Alexis: I am half Greek half French- a few years ago I left my life in Athens to take care and live at my grandparents old property. I spend most of my time in the property, with just some short trips to Athens to visit my family

SO WELCOME to my property, located at the edge of a small village in the north of the very green and mountainous island, Evia. Evia is the second largest island in Greece - a quiet and peaceful place with diversified natural attractions.

This beautiful old property has old buildings, there is also a big garden area and, as we love animals, a small farm.

Due to the size of the property, we would appreciate some helping hands who would like to support our project and discover our daily life! We would prefer hosting volunteers for long periods, such as 1 month or even more. We will be happy to make them feel like home!
Types of help and learning opportunities
DIY and building projects
Gardening
Animal Care
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
As the estate is located in a village, volunteers will have the opportunity to discover how is life in a Greek non touristic village, meet locals and discover + share local culture!
Help
There are always different things to do. The help required is quite easy going. We do not expect very hard work, just help - And of course a cheerful disposition!

All year round:
- taking care of the animals of our small farm (feeding, cleaning)
- house and garden maintenance (cleaning, painting...)

- help maintenance, cleanin, work the garden, as well as many other little things!

Accommodation
As our guests you would have a little room with bathroom. You may be sharing it with one other workawayer of the same sex if you are travelling on your own.
Your rooms - very basic - are located next to our house. You are welcome to prepare your meals in the kitchen independently, in which case we provide basic ingredients.

IMPORTANT: 1) Our dogs and cats are free to come in our house (not your rooms of course). If you have allergies in hair or dust you might be uncomfortable. 2) If you can't stand insects, afraid to get your hand dirty, than maybe you should find another host.
3) Our area is quite humid from November to May. If you are sensitive in humidity or dampness you shouldn't visit us during this period of the year.
What else ...
Mostly exploring the beautiful nature by walk (forest, river, beach...)
The village is rather small but there are cafes, a bakery and 2 shops for basic needs.

I spent 5 weeks helping out at Alexis' villa in Evia during Oct/Nov of last year. It was my first Workaway experience and feel very lucky to have choosen and be accepted by this host. Located conveniently 3 hours from Athens (the bus journey into the hills is spectactular) , the villa is in the beautiful little village of Kirinthos , northern… read more Evia, surrounded by hills , forests and olive groves. The local beach is also a short bike ride (bikes are provided) or longer walk (about 1 hour) from the property and is well worth the trip. The beach is quiet with beautiful , clean , calm water, ideal for an evening dip after the day's work.
Daily tasks at the villa included feeding the animals (deer, goats, rabbits, cats and dogs) , some gardening work like raking leaves, trimming hedges and also cleaning and preparing the accommodation onsite for the guests. It was a quiet time of the season for guests when i was at the villa so I could then help out on whatever other jobs were happening on the property, e.g mixing cement and carrying tiles for the construction workers, digging trenches for the electrician etc. The work was fun, easy going and always undertaken as part of a team so you never felt like you were on your own being taken advantage of.
The volunteers accommodation is extremely comfortable , spacious and private with a shared, well stocked kitchen/living room with an open fire place (with plenty of firewoood) , big t.v and comfortable seating.
Alexis himself is an extremely generous and 'easy to work for' host. During my stay , we (his volunteers) had the opportunity to accompany him and the wonderful lady of the villa to the local taverns on numerous occasions for dinner and some local tsipouro, ouzo or wine! And as guests we were never expected to put our hands in our own pockets and were treated with wonderful generosity on every occasion. These 'cultural exchange' experiences will live long in my memory and the fact you are made feel like you belong here is perhaps are the most rewarding aspect of this workaway. Respect and open communication are given freely here and there will be no problems whatsoever if the workawayers return this courtesy.
All in all it was a great experience , I have made genuine friends in Kirinthos and I would love to return at some stage in the future. Thank you Alexis!

What can we add to all this wonderful comments... A true cultural exchange! Alexis made us feel very much at home in Kirinthos, introduced to his friends and family and the Greek way of life. A few weeks not to forget! Many good reasons to come back again and kiss the lovely Scruffy dog! Thank you! We love you, μαλάκας!
