The fun at Hopeland doesn’t stop when the work day ends.
Beyond the 7 working hours each weekday, there will be plenty of time to explore Hopeland and the areas around. Cosy evenings by the fire (when it’s still fire season), reading under the oak tree, swimming in Nafplio, hiking through the natural surroundings, or visiting nearby villages and cultural sites. How you spend your free time is up to you, whether it’s recharging, discovering, or simply relaxing.
During your free time, there’s also the opportunity for skill- sharing, where anyone can offer workshops or activities based on their own interests. It's entirely up to you whether you want to join in.
There’s always something going on at Hopeland, as long as someone is ready to make it happen.
