DESCRIPTION

Crete, the largest of the Greek islands, will reveal its beauty under your brush! Sumptuous landscapes, typical villages, and historical sites have been carefully selected for your painting holiday in Greece with Simon Roberts and Paint Away Tours.

Take advantage of the mild weather in May to discover a palette of Mediterranean colors: from the turquoise waters to the green plains or the singular architecture of
the whitewashed buildings.

An English-speaking tour guide will lead your cultural excursions throughout the week. A diverse program of guided visits is also dedicated to your partners – not participating in the creative workshop.

Capture the colorful streets of Rethymnon, learn traditional pottery making in Margaritès, or contemplate a beautiful sunset in Santorini…

Does this sound tempting? Get your brushes, we take care of everything else for you!
