My stay at Gjipe was amazing - everything I hoped for and more! Mariglen is a lovely and caring host, and I met so many great volunteers and guests from all over the world. Albania has beautiful beaches and nature, but the people are the best part! This was my first Workaway and it was a perfect one. Tasks are very reasonable (cleaning, helping in… read more

Very late from my behalf, but I realized I still had to give you your feedback from summer last year! I had a good time at Gjipe, I hope Mariglen still remembers me as he sees so many faces coming and going :)

The campground was my home for a month. It was a fascinating experience to have the canyon and all the shades of sea blues as my backyard! I miss it already.

Gjipe is an amazing place. You can totally disconnect with the sound of the beach, hike in the canyon etc. But even the rythm of life is peaceful. You have to find your own place in this collective life (help for cleaning, and for cooking for everybody), help with the tasks of the day and any usefull things that you are able to do. You will also… read more

I had a great time at Gjipe! The place was gorgeous and Mariglen is a really good and generous person. If you go there you should be a self starter, and if that’s the case you’ll have a wonderful time.

This place was very nice and it was probably a mistake to leave. However I left one week into my 2-weeks because it’s not as organised as the listing sounds. It sounds like there are lots of projects; however each day I didn’t know what to do. There was only the project of digging one field and little about olive trees.
This wasn’t a bad place.… read more

Gjipe is a really special place. I spent three weeks there and experienced a lot. The surrounding is beautiful! The beach is probably the nicest in Albania or maybe on the whole Adriatic coastline. The canyon is just amazing with its pure beauty.
