The village Kryoneri is situated in the centre of the Corinthian province, at the same distance between sea and mountains. It is built like an amphitheater, at 740 meters of altitude and has a panoramic view above the Corinthian Gulf. Mount Vesiza (1.200 m.) overlooks the village and constitutes the natural border with the plain of the Stymfalía lake. From this mountain, the river Elisson spreads and crosses Kryoneri and the evergreen plain, before flowing in the Corinthian Gulf, towards Kiato.

Working hours: Volunteers will work 30 hours per week. For some activities, volunteers may need to work during weekends. In those cases they will take off-days during the following weeks. They will get 1 day of holiday during the period.

Food: “Filoxenia” is promoting a healthy life style and supports „Green way of living“/EKO friendly = EKOFILI, by promoting the local gastronomy (“Zero km kitchen”) and using compost for organic waste. During the week: breakfast, lunch & dinner will be organised by Filoxenia.
Participants will have the opportunity to taste different Greek traditional dishes and get an extra intercultural experience, in line with the Greek Agrotourism Federation, which promotes organic food and local products.
During weekends: participants will usually have free time, if there will be no activities by the hosting organisation. In that case they will receive an appropriate amount of money for self-catering.
