Unlike the horses which are aristocratic and impressive by nature , donkeys have a sweetness and calmness that can make them the best companions. They originate from Asia and Africa but they were brought in Greece in 1200 BC so this why they are so strongly associated to the greek culture
Donkey’s Land is the place is a heaven on earth for these kind creatures who are extremely intelligent and witty. Each of them have a name and the oldest is 40 years old while the youngest, Orestes is still a baby and wants to play ways with his green ball. We had a chance to caress them, feed them and brush their hair.
When they like you they show it by pushing you with their head which means that they want more cuddles and affection. They love to steal things from our bags and have a weakness for stones because they are salty and they like to leak them all the time. This shelter has also space for families and friends to bring their food and have a nice picnic and you can also arrange your kids’ birthday party there. The ticket covers the cost of their living while the shop with the amazing accessories is a great opportunity for us to support the volunteers’ project and make sure that these donkeys will have a great life.
