Paros has been inhabited longer than Athens.
The light and air is incomparable. The island is both stimulating and relaxing.

We do have a specific agenda filling each day with Greek isle experiences and art instruction but not too structured as it is YOUR EXPERIENCE that we facilitate and enhance.

Some of the places we will work and play in are:
Lefkes is a village favored by the artistic minded (right brain). It is physically impossible to contort yourself to not see a painting, photo or pleasant view.
Piso Livadi equals beach = boats = pier = mountain, oh yes, and the sea.
Aliki is small yet full of Cycladic architecture. Very calm and peaceful.
Naoussa, the in place with a colorful touristy facade. Both quaint and active.
