The Islands
We visit Rhodes, Kastellorizo , Symi, Nissiros, Kalymnos an impressive selection of islands in the Eastern Aegean Sea
Each island has something unique to offer travelers. Island life has its routines and timetables and we all grow accustomed to the waxing and waning of the trading hours and siesta times across each island as we travel around.
The Painting and Sketching
Plein air sketching, critiques by our artist and workshops to explore new techniques, talk, discuss and try out stuff at your own pace are included in our itinerary.
The Food, The Shopping & The Adventures
Local food can be amazing. Like our beach side sardines lightly drizzled with olive oil, fresh breads, fruit, vegetables and a glass of nice local wine WOW. Each island offers up something new to explore and savor.
Fresh local produce, fish and seafood freshly caught, every where there is wine and traditional drinks and cocktails on offer.
Great shopping in the townships when we have the opportunity to wander around. Touring the villages on foot is a real adventure.
Our Accommodation
Our accommodation is our selection of Villas and Hotels close to the townships of each island we visit.
We prefer locations close to the township center with easy access to markets and shopping areas. The rooms are all tastefully decorated and offer a comfortable stay with modern touches added to ensure your comfort. Villas and Hotels are subject to availability at the time we book and are allocated to guests as bookings are confirmed.
The Mediterranean - Greek Islands Weather
The weather in May in and around the Greek Islands is mostly mild sunny days, cooler nights, 22 - 28C very little rain and low humidity. It is the end of the wet season and a great time to visit the Eastern Aegean Sea.
