PAXOS: AN INSPIRATIONAL LOCATION FOR PAINTING AND PHOTOGRAPHY HOLIDAYS IN GREECE 3 December 2009 by Margaret Longes For anyone looking for a painting or photography holiday in Greece, there can be no location more inspirational than the tiny island of Paxos, where special interest holiday operator Paxos Life Activities has just launched its programme of holidays and courses for Summer 2010. Paxos is a really beautiful island with stunning scenery and wonderfully clear light just nine miles south of Corfu. 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 in Spring and Autumn are carpeted with wild flowers. The colours are simply amazing. The friendly and informal holidays offered by Paxos Life Activities 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 Travel à la carte’s 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. But for anyone 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 targeted 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 ‘September Painting Week’ takes place 20 – 27 September and the ‘Autumn Photography Week’ takes place 27 September – 4 October. At the time of writing, places are still available on both holidays. A range of Creative Writing, Yoga and Self-Development holidays, and skippered or bareboat Yacht Charter are also available.
