  Description

  We need urgent help with olive harvesting. Thanks to the rains, it started early. We have one couple in here already but we can host workawayers in the camp tents.
  
  We have a small stone house with 140 acres of land on the island in Göcek. Olive trees surround the house. The only transportation to the island is by boat. Göcek is a wonderful area with almost 50 bays and coves. It is located in the west Mediterranean. Yachting is the main means of living.
  
  We need volunteers on this island. The tasks are straightforward and this listing is more like a holiday.
  
  There are always small tasks around the place like gardening, general maintenance, and caring for dogs and cats.
  
  In November, we will need help with olive harvesting.
  
  The house had 2 rooms. One room is for guests and one room is for workawayer. The rooms have double-sized beds.
  
  Minimum duration of stay is 2 weeks. The only transportation way is by boat. That's why we can't always provide access to the city center.
  
  Since it is an island, couples or friends are welcome.
  
  We welcome LGBTQ+ and respect gender equality in the workspace.

Chance to meet both locals and international people.
