I stayed with Christian for three weeks during November and I had a wonderful time. The work was varied and included building bamboo fences, trimming and clearing trees and extending a wooden terrace. The cabin that I stayed in was comfortable, with electricity, WiFi and a kitchen with everything I needed. I was able to work a few hours in the morning and then have some time off in the afternoon to explore the local area. The setting is spectacular, in a valley with olive trees and a stream where you can have a paddle. There are also some beautiful hikes to be done in the local area. It is close to Preveli and Kourtaliotiko Gorge which are fantastic for some swimming. I also enjoyed walking Valentino, Christian's dog, who is very sweet.

My partner and I had an excellent experience at Marina and Wolfgang’s farm. The farmhouse and surrounding grove were exquisitely beautiful, with a gorgeous view to wake up to. Marina is a great cook and we were fed delicious meals on work days besides having plentiful food for our own cooking. Harvesting olives is tough work, especially on the steep hills, but we both found this work engaging and rewarding - plus, Marina is a yoga teacher and her free classes help to ease your back pain! The farmhouse is very remote - you’re looking at a 45 minute walk to the nearest settlement - and we were sometimes frustrated by bars/cafes/restaurants being closed on some weekdays, but this is a face of rural Greece out of season. We say, embrace the remoteness and isolation. In sum, our most memorable WWOOF experience to date and with two generous hosts. We cannot wait to visit again!

Thank you Omer for your kindness and generosity! I stayed in this little paradise for a week, helping with the olive harvest and with the building of a hut. The plot of land is on a steep mountain side next to the beach. So expect being outside and physically active! The work is varied, plenty and with Omer there is always room for initiative and creativity! Overall a very fulfilling and special experience!

I am so grateful for my experience at Olive Tree Farm with Emma and Michalis - they are such warm and welcoming hosts who really know how to make you feel at home. Over the three weeks spent with them I learned far more than I expected I would. Tasks included cleaning out the donkey pen, feeding the chickens, making essential oils - from harvesting to extraction! - and of course, harvesting olives and taking them straight to the press! Spending every morning out in nature is something I will endeavour to continue to do in my everyday life, it truly is so good for the soul. It was wonderful meeting other WWOOFers and friends of the family - sharing meals, brilliant conversation - thank you for such a beautiful time, I will be cherishing this experience for a long long time.

I really enjoyed my time at Olive tree farm Rhodes. Emmanuelle and Michalis were super friendly, great hosts and very inspiring people. Their property is absolutely beautiful- a lovely garden with sea view. Harvesting the olives was such an interesting experience and the other tasks like making essential oil, trimming bushes, taking care of the animals were very enriching. What made the stay so special was the cultural exchange: trying Greek food, getting to know the other volunteers/ friends of the family and exploring the island. We became a great team and it was so much fun to work together. All in all, I definitely recommend staying there.
