A small organic farm (4.000 sq. meters) situated on the north west of the island of Chios, where a great variety of vegetables is grown. There are also trees (Olive trees, orange, lemon, Chios tangerine, apricot, plum, loquat, pear, apple, fig, pomegranate, walnut, etc).
The farm has recently turned into a small animal shelter. One needs to be an animal lover to come here and have some knowledge of how to handle them. All dogs are well behaved and easy to handle. A number of cats finds refuge here too.
I have a small flower garden and multiply and grow flowers.
The Volissos area is great for nature walks and the sea offers great swimming during summer. A botanist’s paradise during spring. We are about 1 km away from the village of Volissos. in a very little inhabited area, 800 m away from Managros beach and 40 km away from the main town of the island, Chios.
The production of the vegetable garden is for friends and family, and a part is sold locally.
