Description
The hotel is situated in a stone village where the traditional architecture is intentionally preserved. The mountains are covered with olive plantations and its air boasts one of the highest percentages of oxygen in the world.
Currently we are also developing a luxury agro-tourism project. The plan is to make the entire project modern and sustainable; from the food it will produce to the materials used in construction to the ownership/employee structure created. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
In addition to getting to know new people and cultures, working here is a good opportunity to witness how a privately owned boutique hotel operates. It is also interesting for volunteers in that there are many ancient cultural sites in the vicinity to expose oneself.

Help
We would like to seek volunteers interested in helping our operations at the boutique hotel. The work would possibly include helping out in service, housekeeping, maintenance and teaching english to staff. The help will be limited to 4-5 hours and the rest of the time volunteers will be enjoying a holiday on the mountains and the beach. For the down days we can help with aiding volunteers with their visits to cultural sites in the region (ie. Assos is where Aristotle lived and lectured so it is an incredibly important and interesting place to see for history buffs).
