Sailing And Painting Holiday

Mainland Greece, Paleros, Greece

About the location

Slow down to the pace of Greek village life in the pretty fishing village of Paleros. Set on the mainland opposite the well known Island of Lefkas which is linked by a bridge, experience life as a local and stop a while to immerse yourself in Greek life.

Your painting and drawing tutor is the resident professional artist, Barbara who is extremely passionate about all things creative and has a wealth of experience teaching painting, drawing, stained glass, mosaics and even jewellery making. Having previously studied for her art teaching degree in Amsterdam and worked in art and design in Holland, Barbara moved to Greece and exhibits her work in the village whilst sharing her passion for art by teaching visitors and locals alike.




Appreciate the beauty of Paleros through the medium of painting and drawing as you explore the winding streets lined with whitewashed houses and tavernas, the bustling harbour overlooking the clear blue sea all backed by verdant mountains.

The area is unspoilt with flora and fauna all around and boasts the famous Korpi wells with some of the purest water in Europe flowing from the taps. Tutor Barbara's home is set in the mountains 25 minutes walk from the village so you'll also be surrounded by nature whilst you paint.

The closest archaeological site is called Kechropoula, which was the ancient city of Paleros since the Mycenaen period. Less than an hour away you will find the ancient city of Nikopolis with its stadium, roman baths, leisure park, theatres, mosaics and remains of villas.

Your painting and drawing lessons mainly take place out on location around Paleros and also at Barbara's property up in the mountains which offers unrivalled views of the local area.

This drawing and painting course aims to help you uncover Paleros’s hidden treasures and allow you to be inspired by the natural beauty, rich culture and heritage of Greece.
