Reviews
I had a great time in Kalamos, I discovered the Island and all its wildlife and participated into different projects such as birds or posedonias surveys. Ted was a great host, he told me a lot of stories about the island and made sure I had everything I needed for my stay there
I participated in Terra Sylvestris’s marine monitoring field research program in June 2017, where I worked closely with Ted to monitor seagrass populations and better understand the impact of nearby fish farming operations on the health and vitality of this endangered species. This experience was not only academically/professionally enriching but also gave me the opportunity to learn about European environmental policy—all while living and working in one of the most beautiful islands in the world
I learned a lot at Terra Sylvestris: you not only get an insight into the work of a biologist and the collecting of data, you also meet amazing volunteers from all over the world and benefit from their experiences and perspectives regarding environmental issues and life in general
My time spent in Kalamos & Kastos was both fun-filled & educational. Ted and Georgia were amazing, and I value my new friendships with people around the world. It was a pleasure to learn about field techniques and volunteer in a biodiverse hotspot. Kastos was beautiful as well!
