6 November 2010 by Margaret Longes 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.
