I spent 2 weeks volunteering...

Volunteer in Greece

I spent 2 weeks volunteering on the islands of Kalamos and Kastos in Greece. The islands are very beautiful and remote (away from major tourist areas which is nice). The programme itself was fairly relaxed, we did Posidonia (Seagrass) monitoring, gardening as well as camera and audio traps for bats, birds and monk seals. We applied to the programme only a few weeks before and volunteering solutions were very efficient replying and getting back to us to get everything organised in time!
