Live and learn on organic farms in Greece

What is WWOOF®?

Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) links visitors with organic farmers, promotes an educational and cultural exchange and builds a global community conscious of ecological farming practices.

WWOOF was founded in 1971 and is one of the world’s first educational and cultural exchange programs. Today, WWOOF is in more than 132 countries around the world (and growing).

How it works

WWOOF in Greece

WWOOF Greece is the national organization helping to create local WWOOFing opportunities in Greece and to promote sustainable farming as a lifestyle.

Visitors, or 'WWOOFers', share in daily life with their host and learn about organic agriculture, while spending about half of each day helping out on a farm.

Giorgos and all of his friends were so welcoming and generous. They wanted me to enjoy my experience and made sure I had everything I needed. They cooked me beautiful, yummy, and fresh meals and taught me a lot about the area. I did all sorts of odd jobs to help out and I loved it! Selakano and these people are so special and I can’t recommend it enough! Wishing you all the best of luck with all you are trying to accomplish and thanks so much for welcoming me into your beautiful home. I will always be thinking of you all and cheering you on!

This monastery is a truly special place! Our time there was insightful and touching and very different from other Wwoofing experiences we had! We were welcomed with so much care and compassion. Αrriving felt as if we were already part of the family! The sisters are very attentive and are open to letting you peak into their worldview, wisdom, faith and daily lifes. Basic conversations about work often lead to conversations that were very meaningful for me. The sisters often brought us books about topics we were interested in and provided us with guidance on our ways. We worked a lot with wood in the 3 weeks we spent in the monastery! The tasks are generally diverse, from gardening to flower picking, maintenance etc. The sisters are very appreciative and grateful for the tasks the volunteers did! It felt joyful to work in such an environment, also on long days! You will eat delicious products from the farm, a looot of cheese, yoghurt, kefir, homemade jams, pickles, chutneys, ….. I hope you will get to taste the strawberries! We had the luck to live together with great volunteers, to go on hikes on Sundays, to have long conversations and a lot of laughter together. Thank you so so much for your generosity and all the inspiration we received from your way of being!

To say that I loved my stay in Arteis Farm would be quite an understatement; Thanasis is a very warm, welcoming man, and I'm very happy to have had the opportunity to live and work in his farm for a few weeks, in the middle of the magnificent island of Ikaria. I came in May, which means most of the tasks I (and the other wwooffers there) had to do were centered around weeding, digging and preparing the various fields for this year's sowings and plantings, which I found very interesting and gratifying. The work was always varied, purposeful and rewarding- plus you can start your shift whenever you want, wether you prefer the Sun or the Shade :) This trip was my very first time WWOOFing, and it couldn't have gone any better, it was a true learning experience. When the work was done, I usually ventured out to explore the many breathtaking natural landscapes of the Island, ranging from the sea to the mountains, or I just stayed at the farm and chilled which was also very nice 🐈 Thanasis I'd like to thank you and your family again for welcoming me, it's hard to explain just how important this trip has been for me. Like I said, I'll be back someday, but until then I hope everything stays ~fantastic~ for you 🙏

I spent two weeks at Dylan and Lise's farm, and it was a beautiful experience. Living there means being in complete harmony with nature and respecting it in every aspect of daily life. It was also a very enriching human experience. We shared many meaningful conversations and reflections that made me think deeply about life and my own values. Above all, Dylan and Lise are genuinely generous and welcoming people, and I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to live this experience.

I had the most amazing time at Pelion homes! Cannot recommend this place enough, the whole team are so welcoming and inspiring, with incredible food by Donya and Bart, community yoga sessions (1-2 times a week) by Virginia and of course the garden run by Eleni. The garden work was varied and relaxed with good hard work if you like to push yourself. The volunteers house is cooling in hot temperatures and a traditional Pelion house with a lovely outside area and hammock. We took a lot of trips to the beaches, if you can drive (manual) you can ask to take the car for adventures if it’s free, which we did!! Thank you Eleni and everyone at Pelion homes for the wonderful experience 💚💚💚 can’t wait to come back

Amazing first wwoofing experience ! I cannot put into words how much I learnt, nor how generous this family has been throughout my stay. Be ready to thoroughly embrace a very unique yet simple way of life.

J'ai passé 5 semaines chez Géraldine et Georgios et c'était une expérience incroyable. L'accueil était chaleureux, la chambre confortable, et la nourriture vraiment délicieuse. Le rythme de travail est agréable, pas de pression, ce qui laisse du temps pour explorer la région. Geraldine ma fait visiter plusieurs villes aux alentours. C'était mon premier voyage solo à l'étranger et je ne pouvais pas rêver mieux comme endroit où tomber. Je recommande les yeux fermés, foncez !

This was a life changing experience! George and the gang at Pezoulia welcomed me with open arms, making me feel at home from the very first minute. From beautiful scenery to village and agricultural history, I enjoyed every minute. I highly recommend this stay. Thank you again George!! :)

Haris and Robie are two amazing people. They truly care about making sure everything goes smoothly during the WWOOFing experience. The tasks are varied; personally, I weeded, did some painting, took care of the chickens, varnished garden furniture, and trimmed hedges. I even got to witness the hatching of new baby chicks! It was an absolute pleasure to help them and share these moments of life with them. They also give great advice for exploring the island of Kea, which is a very beautiful place. Thanks to us for this beautiful experience.

Had a great time, the place is beautiful and Thanasis is very flexible with the schedule and work. Accomodation was in a tent woth everything you can need; and we could cook the vegetables grown in the farm which was very nice. If you like calm and autonomy (the hosts don't live in the same place as where we sleep and work), I 100% recommand it!

I had a really amazing time with Pia and James! Right from the start I felt very welcome and right at home in their beautiful house. The work was always different, interesting and rewarding and I had the opportunity to learn new things. Looking after the animals is a lot of fun since they are so friendly and cuddly. I also got to see a lot from the island to which James knows and shares a lot of great background information. The two of them let me be a part of their lifes and often took me along, which I really appreciate. My time here – that went by way too fast – has been very enriching and I definitely recommend staying here!
