I stayed with Katerina and Giorgos for over two weeks and it was hard to leave the big crazy family. Cats and dogs and chickens, rabbits, goats-- plus the humans, whose quirks rival those of the other animals. It’s a farm so there are always “many jobs” and I enjoyed feeling integrated and part of the machinery that keeps it all running. Between… read more
