“My art retreat in Agioi Vavatsinias was a magical experience. The combination of the village and it's surroundings, the art, Chloe's food and the guidance of talented Francis made this holiday a unique summer. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to break free from their daily routine."

ART HOLIDAY REVIEWED BY M P The most memorable part of my trip was painting in the garden. I loved it. I had a good time. The holiday was a charming time and as environmentally friendly as possible. I had the opportunity to know better and understand local people and their history.
