    Description

    Hello, we are Nikos and Barbara. Nikos is Greek and Barbara is Dutch.

    Barbara after health problems is in the bed, but does not need care from you.

    We need help in a wooden farmhouse overlooking the sea, and 4000 m2 wild nature, with some olive trees, fruits, veggies, goats, chicken, cats, dogs and water from a natural well.
    The next beach is five minutes away, the little village thirty minutes walk.
    Nature and wildlife is all around us, but the village offers some bars and restaurants. out of the season there is little tourism and we are part of the real Greek life and can share that with our workawayers.

    Looking for an easy going, independant person or couple
    ‼️ OLDER THAN 23 YEARS ‼️
    to help to finish many unfinished projects, as well as keeping the garden in shape or help shape it.
    Also a bit of artistic landscaping, shadow place in the olive yard.
    We need to maintain some trenches to make the water flow in the right direction (not in the house)...
    I am making stinky but oh- so delicious goat cheese when I find milk, we need building little walls with stones, put stuff on the roof to stop the leaking, make concrete structures like flowerpots, tiled floor, finish the bathroom and a bit of cleaning here and there. would be nice if the workawayer likes cooking because I like to cook and like people who like to cook, or makestuff like cheese and pickles and pick wild herbs. (want to make sauerkrautttt!!!)
    Handling my goats will be part of the help . Putting the goats back behind the fence is a returning task .
