While you're in the region
Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $175 a day this sits above the $136 median for farm, food & drink. It is cheaper than 6 of the 18 farm, food & drink options mapped here.
- Other things to learn in Greece
- 2 other options in Greece, starting with sport climbing in Kalymnos from $700.
- When to go
- Workable across 5 months of the year — Oct-Nov, Apr-Jun. Outside that the season is against you, not the school.
- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 8 days, but the honest range is 3 to 21. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
