We are looking for someone who can take care of the horses and be a tour guide for our international guests but because the accommodation is shared we can only take females.
We have two centres on the island with dream beaches to ride along and trails into the mountains. We offer fair payment. Shared accommodation and transport to and from work are provided. We are a great team to work with and you get to live on a wonderful island.
You should be an experienced horseback rider. You should also be experienced in stable work. An English speaker with a friendly, optimistic character with high motivation for this job. You need a current driver's license. You must have a love of working with horses and want to learn about tourism. We have a great weather here but sometimes it's windy or raining in the winter but even then, you should enjoy taking care of the horses. Naxos is a dream island and working in our Horse Farm is a dream job, but you must also expect to work hard. This is not so much a job as a way of life and to enjoy it you must embrace the Greek culture. Please do not apply if you are only looking for a cheap holiday. As previously stated you must expect to work hard.
