What else ...
In the summer job you will work 4-5 hours per day in the local shop and with the animals, either morning or evening shift. The rest of the day you can explore the island, visits the city and go swimming. We are flexible about the days and working hours so we will discuss that individually with you so that everyone is happy :)
Beginning of October we start with the olive harvest and we usually finish end of November. It's a hard job so if you are not used to physical work this might be too much for you. We usually start in the morning at 8 and finish around 4 in the afternoon with a lunch break in between. we have some beautiful olive groves with a nice view over the Ionian sea and with our goats and sheeps around us (they help us as they fertilize the earth on our organic groves)
Also our dog Aris is always with us and taking care that we are working good :)
