We live in a beautiful village, Dafni in north evia island in greece. Dafni is next to the forest and 5 kms away for coast. In summer we also swim in waterfalls and small lakes of some rivers. Also evia as an island has nice beaches that are not far away from the village.

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
