Description
Upon arrival at Kefalonia airport, a driver will pick you up and take you to your apartment where you will meet other volunteers. The journey from the airport to the project takes approximately 45 minutes. Upon reaching the project site, you will receive a brief tour of the house and be shown where to find the bicycles. In the evening, there will be an orientation event where tasks for the upcoming days will be discussed. At the project, you will be involved in protecting seagrass and sand dunes, closely linked to the sea turtle conservation project. The interaction between seagrass (Posidonia oceanica) and sand dunes is crucial for maintaining the ecosystem’s balance.

FAQ
FAQ
All programs can be booked with friends. If you would like to book a program as a group, we recommend that you enquire in advance. Each person must book the project individually.
Ideal for all programs are at least three months in advance. In principle it is also possible for us to place short-term applicants (volunteering and language study travel) in Greece.
Greece is a safe country and the people are very friendly and warmhearted. In big cities, as in every big city in the world, there is petty crime. When travelling, the following things should be taken into account: always keep an eye on valuables, always keep your hand luggage on your lap in buses, and at night you should not travel by bus or withdraw money from ATMs. Up-to-date information on the situation can be found at the Embassy or Foreign Office.
Please note that in Greece all electronic devices can only be used with an adapter. They are available in many electronics stores.
We recommend an intermediate level of English.
Depending on the program, we work with apartments, volunteer houses or hostels at the project site.
For all programs you have to be covered by foreign health insurance. We will be happy to help you find a suitable insurance policy.
