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.

I had the most amazing time at Eumelia Farm. The place is so beautiful and peaceful. I had the chance to spend most of my time in the kitchen with Marilena, helping her cook for the guests and discovering Greek cuisine. We could also join the guests for some activities (yoga, cooking classes, olive oil tasting, live music dinners, chakra dance), and it was truly memorable. For weekly schedule, the rhythm there is very "go with the flow", especially if it is rainy season, but if you’re an autonomous person, you’ll fit right in perfectly. I’d definitely recommend having your own car (not mandatory, but super helpful) so you can explore the stunning surroundings on your days off or grab a few groceries for yourself when needed. The trailer where you sleep is comfy and well-equipped, though it can get a bit chilly at night, don't forget to bring some sweaters if you’re coming from October. Thank you again for this unforgettable experience!

On a passé 4 semaines exceptionnelles en Grèce dans la ferme d’oliviers de Manu. L’endroit est magnifique et très calme, parfait pour déconnecter et profiter du rythme paisible de la campagne grecque. Manu est une personne adorable, détendue, toujours de bonne humeur, flexible et très à l’écoute. On s’est vraiment senties comme à la maison, dans une ambiance chaleureuse et conviviale. Les journées étaient rythmées par des tâches très variées : couper et trier du bois, faucher l’herbe, s’occuper des poules, préparer le terrain pour la récolte, construire un abri pour les moutons, faire du terrassement… On a appris plein de choses, tout en profitant du grand air et du plaisir de travailler dehors. En dehors du travail, on a aussi partagé de super moments ensemble : jeux, plage, excursions, bons repas,... Bref, c’était une expérience humaine et authentique qu’on recommande à 100 % à tous ceux qui veulent découvrir la vie à la ferme dans une atmosphère bienveillante et positive :)

I really enjoyed the 3 weeks I spent at the pelion homes! Eleni was coordinating volunteers and organising the garden whilst I was there. She was amazing, really lovely company and always made sure the work was interesting and fair. Virginia and natasha are incredible cooks, I will be dreaming of the stifado and the turmeric and cardamom cake for the rest of my life! All the staff were kind and welcoming, and had some lovely insightful chats about life. The end of harvest party was also a real highlight.

We had a wonderful time at Danièle and Panos’ place! They were so welcoming, and we truly loved our stay there. We stayed there 2 weeks and it went by so fast. We helped with gardening, taking care of the chickens, picking olives, cleaning pomegranates, and even got to help with Panos’ fishing nets. We were surrounded by lovely cats and dogs — we honestly wished we could have brought them all home with us! Danièle took such great care of us and shared her best recipes, which we can’t wait to try again when we get back home. We also learned so much about Santorini and Greek culture. The beach was really close to the house, so we could spend our afternoons swimming in the sea.🌊 There is also a very nice taverna about 15minutes by walk from the house and a small marketplace. Fira is about an hour’s walk away, or you can take a bus there (3 in the mornings and 3 in the afternoon) Thank you again for having us — we’re so grateful ! ☀️

my 10 day stay with emanuel and the other wwoofers in his beautiful place was really pleasant and wholesome. he is a very open and welcoming host, who has a very kind and mature personality. it was a pleasure to have a short insight in the olive foresting and be part of the community of people that was very respectful and sweet. we had great healthy food, the work was interesting and emanuel took care that everyone was fine with the work duties. apart from that we also had free time, made excursions to the beach and a wonderful place in the mountains to see a harvesting chestnut festival. all in all a very good experience and a calm place i would recommend from the heart. i would definetely come again. danke emanuel für diese schöne erfahrung und deine gelassene und geduldige art, ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt und denke jetzt schon sehr gerne an die zeit mit euch zurück. ich hoffe wir sehen uns wieder!! beste grüße aus dem norden - und viel erfolg weiterhin - danke, dass du dein zuhause dort für uns alle so großzügig öffnest! umarmung und grüße und einen schönen winter in griechenland!

We spent about a week on Viveta's beautiful farm and wish our time could have been much longer! We learned so much about organic farming practices through the process of planting seedlings and protecting them with wool; our days were spent tending to her plants and chickens and exploring her property as well as the island beyond. We came during an unusually rainy period and experienced some difficulties with the shower and mosquitoes, but Viveta was very flexible and helpful in navigating these problems as they came up. In addition to the work on the farm, Viveta made us feel so included in her wonderful community on Syros during her first Saturday market of the season. There was music, dancing, delicious food and so much joy. She is such a kind and patient host and taught us so much. We had a truly lovely time here and hope to come back again! :)

Mahalo nui loa to Themis, his family, and Theodoros for hosting me this September! I had such an amazing experience and am so grateful to have been welcomed into this family and farm. I spent two weeks working with the chickens, collecting and packing eggs, enjoying lunches with the family, and riding around the island for egg deliveries. The island is so beautiful, and I couldn't have asked for a better host. I wish I could have stayed longer, and already want to go back!

J’ai passé 10 jours extraordinaire avec Viveta ! C’est une personne passionnée et pedagogue qui travaille très dur pour sa ferme et qui prend le temps de partager ses connaissances. La ferme de Viveta est magnifique, c’est un endroit bucolique et les levés de soleil resteront dans ma memoire. Son chat adorable vous colera toute la journée pour vous faire des calins ( jusqu’à venir dormir avec vous.) Il est tres simple de visiter l’ile meme sans transport, en bus ou en stop (meme en tant que femme seule je me suis sentie tres en securite en faisant du stop) Merci encore mille fois à Viveta qui fait un travail impressionant, pour sa gentillesse et sa bonne humeur !

Hello everyone, I made 5 weeks at the Ecolodge this summer. I recommend you to come by pairs, because there is nobody around you and it is difficult to socialize since you're mainly alone, and also it can be very funny to come with a friend or anyone ! I advise you to explore around, the landscapes are very beautiful and you have a lot of pathways around the place. The labor can be very interesting since it is permaculture, and for sure you will learn a lot of things during your journey. The only thing is to be interested in what Nikos and Marilia do at the Ecolodge, to be as much integrated as possible, and if you are, you won't regret it because they have also good talks about many things and that's very interesting ;) Mainly, you'll do gardening, painting, cleaning houses, harvesting , and watering! But also some really funny projects related to Nikos's needs ;) Depending on the period you come, there're also funny tasks to do (olives, grapes...) I wish you to spend good time here, and don't forget to explore around or you will miss something :)

We stayed with Pantelis from Sunday till Thursday. We stayed in our RV in front of his house, we got electricity, water and could use the toilet and shower. We learned a lot about olive picking and Greece. As we were with two kids, we only worked half days, and the kids helped a part of that. He’s a great guy, he was nice with the kids, he told us much about Greece. After three days of picking we also visited the olive oil mill - it was really nice to see the whole proces. Our daughter LOVED the food his mother cooked: lentil soup and chickpeas (we are vegetarian). It was also nice to meet other travellers and to experience Greek village life.

James and his wife Pia have been amazing hosts. This has been my first experience of WOOFing and I feel I have struck gold. The property is beautiful with the most amazing views. The work has been interesting, varied and fun. There’s always jobs to do around the property, with opportunities to learn about all aspects of living off grid. James and Pia have been so welcoming and have really made me feel at home here, as well as making lots of effort to show me around the island, meet with friends and share lots of great stories of the island and its inhabitants. I can’t recommend them enough.

Staying at Sotiris’ “New Dream” near Kalamata was a life-changing experience. Even though the place is still being built, it already feels like a piece of magic. I came as a volunteer to help build the project, but I feel I received more than I gave. Sotiris welcomed us with incredible hospitality , like a wise and joyful grandfather. He cooked for us, shared stories, and gave us a place to sleep among nature in beautiful tree houses and yurts. From him, I learned the power of kindness, patience, and building dreams step by step. A truly inspiring human being.
