Family home and garden - rural
Thessaly
We run a small place just over 2500 square meters in a beautiful part of Pelion which is surrounded by lovely beaches and plenty of walks in the mountains and along the sea.
We have an organic garden and we may need some help with maintaining the veggie and flower patches as well as the rest of the land. We also have a small guesthouse.
Our volunteers live away from the main house in a lovely wooden cabin with a kitchenette and an external toilet.
The food here is for the most part organic, vegetarian (no meat and fish), and very yummy.
We live 300 meters above sea level and it takes a 50 min walk on a mild downhill to reach the closest beach. The village square where all the shops are is only a 12 min walk from the house.
Months Most Needed: March to the end of December
Further information:
No meat and fish consumption on the property.
Drug and alcohol use is a no-no x.

Thessaly
The region of Pileo, situated in the county of Magnisia, is one of the most beautiful parts of Greece-not an island but a peninsula with beautiful beaches, rivers, traditional villages and great walks all over the mountains. The village of Milies is 30 km

It was my first Woofing experience with Alexandra, and I was very nervous, but as soon as I saw her, all my worries disappeared. I immediately felt at ease, understood, and listened to.
Alexandra is truly a very sweet and helpful person, who chooses and plans the work to be done with you based on your energy and abilities. For example, one day I was very tired, and she had me paint a gate instead of working the land, which would have been too much for me.
The place is incredibly beautiful, located at the foot of Mount Pelion, surrounded by fields with fruit trees and olive trees, and best of all, just a 10-minute bike ride from the sea. Alexandra even lent me her bike for the entire time I was there so I could explore the surrounding area.
She's also very willing to show you around. One afternoon I went with her, and she took me to explore some more isolated beaches and villages. Very pretty.
For the Woffers, she's set up a beautiful caravan in the garden so you can have your own space and privacy. It's truly a beautiful and comfortable caravan with everything you need for cooking and washing.
It's a place I wholeheartedly recommend; it's like a second home.
I hope to be able to return soon to say hello to Alexandra.
