HOLIDAYS FOR SINGLE TRAVELLERS IN THE GREEK ISLANDS 8 December 2009 by Margaret Longes Special interest holiday operator Paxos Life Activities has just launched its Summer 2010 programme of holidays and courses in Greece and, although the holidays are not aimed specifically at single travellers, they are ideal for anyone travelling alone who wishes to spend their time in the company of a group of like-minded people. Paxos is a really beautiful island which has, for the most part, escaped the effects of mass tourism. With its friendly locals and village life revolving round the church and family-run tavernas, it gives visitors to the island the chance to re-discover the simplicity of Greece as it used to be. It is in fact the friendliness not only of the Paxiots but also of visitors to the island that helps to make it such an ideal place for anyone travelling alone. However, with its stunning scenery, wonderfully clear light and unrushed pace of life, Paxos also provides the ideal environment for anyone with an interest in the creative arts and for Summer 2010 Paxos Life Activities is therefore offering special interest holidays and courses in Painting, Photography, Creative Writing, Self-Development, Life Coaching and Yoga. Accommodation is in shared villas such as Travel à la carte’s Villa Maria and Villa Levanda, with their own pools and spacious terraces set in the shade and tranquillity of the olive groves above the village of Loggos, and in The Manor House, an imposing Venetian building and one of the most famous houses on the island, that has stunning views over Loggos harbour and across to the mountains of mainland Greece. There is the option either to share a twin room with a fellow traveller or to enjoy the privacy of one’s own room upon payment of a supplement. For anyone who already has their own accommodation on Paxos or simply wishes to be more independent, there is also the option of just joining the group tuition sessions. The friendly and informal holidays, which are suitable for all levels of ability, are based around group tuition sessions on five mornings a week, leaving plenty of time for individual advice, to explore Paxos or to simply relax. So those taking part will get the best of all worlds: the chance to have a holiday in an idyllic location and to make new friends, while at the same time doing something very worthwhile in an environment where there are few distractions. The Summer 2010 programme begins in May with Creative Writing, Self–Development, Life Coaching and Yoga holidays, and is followed in June by a further Creative Writing holiday. Autumn holidays include Yoga, Creative Writing, Painting and Photography.
