Descrição
We are a retired Swiss couple living in the Peloponnese, Greece for about six months a year. We have two producing olive groves plus many other young trees that need care. We also collect wild and garden herbs for our own use, Most things are produced in an organic, sustainable manner. We love and respect our trees and enjoy to live in the midst of them.
Our house is two kilometers from the sea with beautiful beaches, outside the small farming village of Lachanada. You will stay in our spacious, traditional Mongolian yurt - a great experience. We can accommodate two people in the yurt. -

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
With us, you can learn about olive oil production and gardening in Greece. You will learn about the difficulties of this climate, too. Every week we will together visit an interesting place in the area, so that you can get a good glimpse of the Greek countryside, or visit an old fort, or enjoy the most beautiful beaches on the Peloponnese.

Acomodação
You will stay in our spacious, traditional Mongolian yurt - a great experience. We can accommodate two people in the yurt.
We will provide vegetarian or vegan food for all the meals. Sometimes you will cook on your own, but mostly we prepare the meals and eat together. There is no meat and fish to eat on our land. We like to share meals with our worker guests -
Algo mais...
Travelling to our place, you can reach the nearest village, Finikounda, by public transport via bus. There is a bus from Kalamata to Finikounda (workdays at 1pm), we can pick you up in Finikounda.
From Athens to Kalamata there are daily buses. Take the 9am bus to make the connection with the bus to Finikounda. Tickets Athens Kalamata should be bought in advance, through ktelbus.gr/mes/ticketweb/
On the way back, some people hitchhiked to Kalamata and Athens, this worked surprisingly well.
We love to be around people who are vegetarians, nonsmokers, long-term travelers, have some experience in eco projects and try to live a somehow sustainable life. We enjoy lively discussions during meals and breaks, not necessarily during work. -
