Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You can spend time in nature, and enjoy the many trails the wonderful Pilio mountain has to offer. The incredible diversity of this peninsula with its many beaches, rivers, forests, and mountains, the open Aegean sea on one side, and the calm Pagasetic golf on the other make it very special for the nature lover. In Greek mythology, It is the land of Chiron, the centaur who was the first teacher of the medicinal use of wild herbs, and actually, the Pilio is known for its very rich diversity of wild plants.
Help
We need help with the construction of the infrastructure. Dry toilets, house renovation, and places for camping. We need to reshape the land since it was abandoned.

We have members who speak Greek, English, French, and German. We try to communicate in English and ideally, we learn more Greek from our Greek members and participants since we are in Greece. But to have a good time together we speak English if there are language barriers.
Accommodation
Tent on the property ⛺️ we provide a tent, sleeping mat, and a sleeping bag when needed
We want to focus on being together. Food is right not included but we want to share as much as we can. This is why we don't request to work more than 3 hours a day for 5 days a week. The supermarket in Koropi is within 23 minutes' walking distance and provides everything from fresh produce to grains, legumes, and processed products. An organic farm is also in the village where to get fresh vegetables. The project is vegan, alcohol-free, and tobacco-free. We expect participants/volunteers to respect those choices on the project's location.
What else ...
The beach is a 10 minute walk. You can go hiking in the 1600m altitude Pelion Mountain Range.
