Prelievo dall'aeroporto a Chios Airport

We ask that Volunteer Co-ordinators arrive in Chios for pickup anytime between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM on the Sunday before their program start date.
Arriving by Flight
Volunteer Co-ordinators need to arrive at Chios Island National Airport (JKH) for pickup no later than the Sunday before their program start date. They will be met at the airport by a member of our team and will be taken to the volunteer accommodation. Our staff member will be standing in the arrivals area with a “MOBILITY VOLUNTEERING” sign. Depending on the designated accommodation the ride will usually take less than 30 minutes. 
It's important to note that pick up is only provided for flights arriving between 8am and 9pm. If the flight arrives outside of this timeframe, volunteers can wait until a suitable hour for the local team to collect them.
Accommodation is provided from the Sunday before the Volunteer Co-ordinator's start date through to (and including) the Friday night of their final week. 
Arriving Overland
If the Volunteer Co-ordinators are planning to arrive via ferry from elsewhere in Greece, then a pickup in Chios city port can be arranged. It's important to note that pick up in Chios city can only be provided between 8am and 9pm.
Once they are sure of their travel plans, they will need to contact the Local Pick-Up Coordinator. We will assist them with arranging a suitable time and place to meet in Chios City or provide instructions on how to make their own way to the accommodation.

Alloggio

Volunteer Co-ordinators are hosted in our volunteer accommodations which are dormitory-style and can accommodate up to 10-15 guests each.

The volunteers accommodations are situated within walking distance from Supermarkets, Grocery Stores, pharmacies as well as bakeries, bars and restaurants.
Each accommodation has shared western bathrooms with shower. Wi-Fi is also available for free at the volunteer accommodation. 
It is the responsibility of the Volunteer Co-ordinators and volunteers to ensure their room is kept tidy during their time on the program. During the hot summer months, please note that only light bedding is provided in the form of a bottom and light top sheet. Towels are not provided so volunteers do need to bring their own towels. 
Volunteer Co-ordinators are also responsible for cleaning their accommodation, also the dishware, glassware, cutlery and cooking utensils that they use.
Volunteer Co-ordinators are responsible for organizing their own meals since the accommodation is in walking distance they can find grocery stores, supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants, cafeterias and mini markets.

Although we do not charge a fee, you will sign a contract upon arrival to protect the property and its contents. 
One important thing to note is that tap water is not potable in Chios Island including at the accommodations, therefore the Co-ordinator need to budget for and make his/her own arrangements to buy bottled water from a nearby store or supermarket of his/her choice.
The Co-ordinator need to also take into account and budget for his/her transportation during their program including travelling from and to the placement.
