PAXOS:
THE PERFECT LOCATION FOR A PAINTING OR PHOTOGRAPHY
HOLIDAY IN
GREECE
The beautiful Greek
island of Paxos is the perfect location for a painting
or photography holiday and Paxos Life Activities is
pleased to be offering a number of such holidays there
in Summer 2011.
Paxos is a really beautiful island just nine miles south
of Corfu and, with its stunning scenery and wonderfully
clear light, it would be hard to find a more perfect
location for a painting or photography holiday anywhere
in Greece.
On the West coast there are dramatic cliffs, while on
the East coast there are pretty, unspoilt villages and
scenic bays. Much of the island is covered in olive
groves which are carpeted with wild flowers throughout
the year, from the first daffodils of January to the
cyclamen, crocuses and other wild flowers that reappear
with the first showers of Autumn. The colours are simply
amazing.
Special interest holiday operator Paxos Life Activities
is therefore pleased to be able to offer a number of
painting and photography holidays on the island in
Summer 2011.
The friendly and informal holidays are suitable for
painters and photographers of all levels of ability and
will help everyone to tap into the peace and beauty of
the amazing landscape and realise their full potential.
Tuition is based around group sessions on five mornings
a week and early evening get–togethers, leaving plenty
of time for individual advice, to explore Paxos or to
simply relax. The holidays therefore offer the best of
both worlds: the chance to have a holiday in an idyllic
location, while at the same time doing something very
worthwhile in an environment where there are few
distractions.
Accommodation is in The Manor
House, an elegant building and one of the most
famous houses on the island that commands wonderful
views of Loggos harbour and the mountains of mainland
Greece, or in villas with private pools set in the olive
groves just above Loggos. But for anyone who already
has their own accommodation on Paxos or who simply
wishes to be more independent, it is also possible just
to join the group tuition sessions.
The holidays are not specifically aimed at single
travellers but they are ideal for anyone travelling
alone who wishes to spend their time in the company of a
group of like-minded people. They are equally suited to
couples and larger groups.
The ‘Spring Painting Week’ and ‘Spring Photography Week’
both take place 9 – 16 May, the ‘Late Summer Photography
Week’ takes place 19 - 26 September and ‘Painting and
Drawing the Flowers of Paxos’ takes place 26 September -
3 October.
A range of Creative Writing and Yoga holidays, and
skippered or bareboat Yacht Charter are also available.
