Enjoy being in the middle of the plain, far from tourism in central Greece

  Description

  Very recently I searched, found and rent a beautiful detached house in direct contact with nature and silence and I found it in a small village in Thessaly, central Greece. It is a challenge for me to integrate myself into the vibrations of the place and the local community. The house is simple, beautiful, and rural. It has a large garden that is waiting for my care to stand out even more. Because I work online for several hours every day, I don't have time to take care of it. I love silence and walking in nature. I teach French and work in theater as a director and actor trainer.

  Help

  Lack of enough time because of my work I would appreciate some help in the maintenance of the house such as watering, pruning, cleaning etc. Your ideas about how to develop further the garden would be welcome.
  I ordinary cook food but you are welcome to share your cooking ideas and experiments. I am completely open to vegetarian dishes and salads.
  In case you are a native speaker or you just speak I am interested in Ukrainian and Serbian language as well as in Portuguese language.
  I also have an accordion and It would be phantastic if you could teach me a bit…
  I think that you will be engaged in some work not more than 3 hours per day

  Accommodation

  You will enjoy a comfortable private room with a shared bathroom with hot water. This is an old house but still providing the necessary facilities. Kitchen fully functional and accessible. I basically cook and eat vegetarian but once in a while I might make an exception. In Greece anyway one has a wide range of vegetarian options with ingredients of good quality. All meals are provided. Full WiFi coverage.

  What else ...

  The village and the whole area is far from touristic “waves”. Original rural life, a breathtaking horizon of Thessaly plain, and some interesting excursions to the close mountains such as Pelion, Kissavos and the legendary Olympus. The sea is also not so far, 30 minutes by car or by train. The village also disposes a train station which connects it with Larisa and Volos, the closest cities in 20-25 minutes. Thanks to the flatness of the area it is rather easy and nice to use a bike. I can borrow mine and in case of common excursion we can borrow a friend’s bike
