Location: The city of Andritsena, characterized as "the stone city", lies in the mountainous area of Olympia. All the buildings of the city are stone-made and of a special traditional and historical value. The city is very touristic, especially during the summer months. The "Nikopoulios Library" of the city has rare editions and copy of the Apollo Epicurious Temple frieze, a temple of a unique historical importance, 13 km. away from the city.
Terminal: Athens international airport "El. Venizelos", Araxos National airport.
Work: Volunteers will clean and if needed renovate and restore several cobblestone pavements in the city. This work is very rewarding for the community and for the volunteers who learn about traditional techniques and help preserve an important characteristic of this county.
Accommodation & Food: Volunteers will be accommodated in the municipality's guest house. Toilets, showers and cooking facilities will be provided, but sleeping bags and mats will be needed. Volunteers will prepare meals and their place themselves, in shifts.
Free Time: In their free time, participants will have the opportunity to get in touch with the everyday life of the community; they may attend masses and liturgies and they will have the chance to communicate with unworldly men. Volunteers will discuss their free time activities with their camp leader; together they are going to organise excursions and visits around the area.
