  Descrição

  We (Maja and Michael) are a non-smoking, married couple, 60+, vegetarians, who eat occasionally also fish and seafood. We are living since 15 years in our nice villa in a small, remote village, 30 km west of Chania, Crete. We live in nature with our 4 dogs and 10 cats, who are our loved family members and are engaged as volunteers in animal rescue work. Therefore, we occasionally also foster additional stray dogs (or cats) after their neutering and try to find them forever homes.
  
  Our little paradise also encompasses a huge garden with 40 olive trees, fruit trees, hedges, roses, flower beds, a small vineyard and a pond with goldfish that all need intensive maintenance and care. We love to harvest the sun ripe products from our vegetable garden and prepare together with you delicious fresh vegetarian meals from them.

  Ajuda

  Our garden will need a major shape up after the winter period (digging up, weeding, cutting back, planting, etc.). We also need support with walking the dogs early in the morning, looking after and feeding all the animals, and generally helping out wherever we need support with household chores and cooking (vegetarian/pescatarian dishes).
  
  Gardening experience, good fitness and physical strength are required, as the ground is quite difficult to work on. Also walking our dogs on the leash can be challenging; it requires patience, equanimity, and a good balance.
  For the DIY projects creativity and craftsmanship are very welcome.
  
  We are looking for 1-2 reliable, independent, responsible and pleasant adults, only non-smokers, who can support us for around 4-5 hours a day (or 20-25 hours per week), mainly in the mornings, and work together with us, but also independently without our presence and assistance. The minimum time of a workaway stay with us is 1 month.

  Algo mais...

  This offer is well suited for people who not only love animals, but also have real practical experience with (rescue) dogs, who appreciate nature, peace and quiet and want to have a good time with us for a while - and also alone with themselves. 


  As mentioned above, the minimum time of a workaway stay with us is 1 month.


  
  We recommend that you have your own mobility (car, motorbike) and that you like to walk/hike) as our property is secluded in nature, where there is no direct connection to public transport. (On foot to the sea and to Kolimbari, the nearest town, where there are also comfortable buses to Chania, it is about 30 minutes downhill, about 50 minutes uphill; about 200 meters in altitude) . We can offer you to use our one mountain bike.


  
  You can explore the beautiful surroundings by hiking, go swimming at the nearby beaches, discover the charm of Cretan villages and small cities, and of course eat out in local tavernas.
