Description
We are a retired couple living in a traditional village in possibly one of the most beautiful areas of Greece, the Pelion peninsula. Esme, my S.African wife is an English teacher and I'm a retired consulting geologist.
Our home is an over 200 year old restored traditional house with garden in the village of Lafkos in South Pilion. We love cats and have several different characters roaming about. The area around us is amazing. Green olive groves, lovely beaches for swimming, ancient cobbled paths for walking. Ideally we are looking for a couple to come and help us for about two weeks. We provide food and lodging. We are bilingual so if you want to polish up your Greek or English, this is a great opportunity. The village is easily accessible by bus, be it from Saloniki or Athens and there is also an airport in Volos, the main town of the region.
We have three grown-up children who unfortunately live far away. -

Autres infos...
In your free time you can enjoy the beauty of the area, go hiking or swimming and you could even use our double kayak to discover the coastline. We live a quiet life here, very much nature oriented and we would like volunteers to respect it and fit in to that way of life. We enjoy a Mediterranean diet with lots of fresh vegetables as well as fish and some meat. Please no illicit drugs. You're also expected to keep your own space clean and tidy and follow house rules eg no shoes inside etc.

I highly recommend it
I shared many fun moments with Esme and Yanni! They're such wonderful people to be around with! They provided me with good company, good food, and fun work to do. Lafkos and the Pelion are beautiful places to see!
