Nikitas Village Coming Soon
About
Nikita’s Village is an agro-tourism project located on the island of Lipsi, Greece, one of the smaller islands of the Dodecanese chain. The project was designed as an extension of the existing farmstead activities of Dimitri’s Farm. In existence for hundreds of years, the farm has welcomed over 550 students and volunteers since its successful revival in 2012. Located on 24,000 square meters situated four kilometers from the main village.
Stamatias Kitchen
The project consists of; a multi-functional communal building with the primary function of holding culinary workshops using organic produce from the farm and other locally sourced products; Twelve shared ownership villas welcoming international participants year round; a structure to house students from all over the world in the fields of sustainable engineering and building, agriculture, permaculture and environmental protection.
Farm Activities
Several farm buildings to shelter and feed sheep, goats, donkeys and chickens and for organic cheese and wine-making; an indigenous turtle sanctuary. The principal role of the project is three-fold: to reconnect man with nature through the awareness and practice of organic farming and cooking, building with natural materials (local stone and earth), using local artisans and drawing from vernacular building materials; to promote responsible tourism and stimulate the local economy.
Time Frame and Scope
We anticipate that Nikita’s Village will be completed within three years beginning in Winter of 2018. The initial phase will entail financial planning and allocation, implementing road infrastructures and site access, planting fruit-bearing indigenous trees and holding student workshops in sustainable building, including the collection of local, onsite stone, earth and natural insulation.
The involvement of local builders knowledgeable about traditional construction methods with the intention of providing training and research opportunities will result in a model villa. From there, any changes to the project scope will be adjusted before additional villas are built. Year one will also include the implementation of the turtle sanctuary and relevant maintenance and care of 42 of this indigenous species,
as well as the beginning construction of the communal buildings— student housing, farm buildings and the culinary workshop/administrative office. Years two and three will consist of villa and communal building completion, implementation of rainwater collection systems, solar energy installation, completion of infrastructures and continuation of farming activities.
Cooking By The Sea
“Stamatia’s Kitchen,” honoring the Greek heritage and
flavors of Lipsi, features workshops and classes in traditional cuisine using local
ingredients and organic produce harvested right from the farm. It’s all about
handmade food using fresh and organically grown farmstead bounty in the Greek tradition.
Community
Sitting on top of the hill, the cooking school also accommodates the farm’s
reception space, facilities and produce shop. Conceived as a large open-space
barn, and built using traditional stone walls and wood framework, Stamatia's Kitchen has a warm and authentic feel.
Focusing on community, both the 230 sq/m. cooking school and the farm. provide
hands-on, original learning experiences as an antidote to impersonal, mass tourism.

One of the most enticing privileges for Nikita’s Village eco-share participants is
the perpetual right to harvest fruits and vegetables from all farm fields during their stay.
Pick it, cook it, then pull up a chair at Stamatia’s community table and enjoy the
fruits of your labor with a glass of traditional organic wine from the farm
