I spent 4 weeks here, was my first wwoof, and it was wonderful! I found community and family in the staff and my fellow woofers, and the work place is beautiful. The work- varied routine and novel tasks. Which I learned a lot from. Harvesting, processing, weeding, planting, pruning, and random unique other things like making fertiliser- doing whatever is seasonal! People- Eleni (garden leader) is so incredible, making sure we had a balance of tasks that interested us, that we were comfortable and happy- she wanted us to have a great time and tried her best to provide that. She is very down to earth. I feel so grateful to have become good friends with her. Bart and Donya I am blessed to have received your energy, teachings, and the most nourishing food! And thanks Sev for all of your help. The house you stay in is a steep 5 minute walk to work. It has everything you need but is very old so has its issues- if you’re used to luxury it will be rough, if your expectations aren’t high you’ll find it good enough. They did some work on the place while I was there so it will be in better shape now than when I arrived! This is thanks to the manager team being very attentive to our requests. In terms of spare time- when you’ve got the car we went to beaches (THE BEST!!). Otherwise we walked to forest cold springs, did yoga if the space was free (unfortunately no community yoga when we were there), there are hikes, or spent time at the house.

I spent three weeks with Dylan and his family in a wonderful atmosphere. I loved playing an active part in their WILD project and sharing in their daily lives. The accommodation and meals were of a high standard. Generosity, kindness and sharing are truly the hallmarks of this family. Thank you once again for this wonderful, exotic and very inspiring experience.

Kosta Rica is really a peace of paradise in every sense! The place itself is beautiful, and the way of interacting with the land of Kostas brings a special energy to every corner. The work was very diverse (weeding, harvesting, taking care of chickens and compost, construction of a support for the wine...), and i had the opportunity to learn so many different things about permaculture but not only. Kosta is a very kind, respectful, and trurly good person who shares his knowledge and vision of the world with passion and make sure that you always feel good and have everything that you need in the house. The sourroundings are beautiful as well... this place will always have a special place in my heart. A huge hug Kostas, Chara, Greta and the chickens! Hope to see you soon

This was my first WWOOF experience, and it couldn't have been better! The hospitality was amazing during my entire 10-day stay. I stayed in a beautiful private room with its own bathroom, which was super comfortable and clean. The host was absolutely great and made me feel welcome from day one. Meal times in the shared kitchen were a blast. The atmosphere was incredibly friendly: sometimes the host cooked for everyone, and other times we WWOOFers took turns in the kitchen, sharing food and good laughs. The daily tasks were fun and very diverse. We worked for about 4 and a half hours a day, focusing mainly on woodwork and fixing up the vegetable garden. The instructions were always clear and the chores were enjoyable. The daily rhythm was just perfect. There was a great balance between helping out with the projects and enjoying some well-deserved relaxation and social time. A super positive experience that I highly recommend to the WWOOF community! It is the perfect place to learn new skills for your first time and feel right at home.

I definitely recommend staying with Markus and Lisa! After two whole months on the farm I can attest it's a good place to be. My hosts warmly welcomed me into their living spaces, I slept in a comfortable bed in a very breathable wooden framed hut, showered outside, worked at my own pace, and on several different projects with or without Markus. I enjoyed the variation of activities (which included harvesting wild herbs, pruning olive trees, cutting grass with a sickle, assisting Markus with construction and maintenance, amongst other tasks) and I was happy with the way we communicated throughout my time there. This made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Since the farm is located 30 minutes walk from the sea, I was able to go swimming daily which I also loved. The environment is calm, beautiful and energising. A big thank you to the family for giving me my first Cretan experience! And to anyone wishing to visit them, I would say as Markus would say, "Go for it"!
