    Description

    We are a young and dynamic couple, Olympia and Pavlos, who decided to come back to our family land to work as farmers in Agios Nikolaos, a small and remote beautiful village at the footstep of Mount Taygetos in Mani, Lakonia, 20km from Gytheio. We have one wonderful little boy, Nikos, who is almost 2 years old, and another one on the road!

    We are looking for people to help us with the different farming works that we have here and with babysitting Nikos whenever we need. But most importantly, we want to bring people from all over the world to our village and share with them special time, learning about our region and our way of living. Mani is a beautiful place, full of History, you will always be welcome as a part of the large family that we are.

    We are farmers from father to sons. We have olive groves from which we are making olive oil and table olives, we also have bee hives and make our own honey and animals such as chickens and sheeps from which we produce our own feta cheese.
    We are also producing our own wine!

    If you love nature, mountain and learning about another way of living afar from the cities, if you enjoy long conversations around local products and good wine, you will have a lot of fun here!
