As the heat of the high summer slowly morphs into pleasant, sunny autumn days, Greece’s Pelion Peninsula becomes alive with colour, and our focus for this week-long holiday will be botanical painting and illustration. Based at the charming Lagou Raxi Country Hotel in South Pelion, under the guidance and tutorage of botanical artist Helen Ainsworth, we will enjoy gentle morning excursions each day to collect subjects for our afternoon drawing and watercolour painting classes in the hotel’s purpose-built workroom. Whether you are a total beginner looking for your first foray into botanical illustration, or a seasoned artist on the search for new subject matter, this week, which will be spent in a stunning part of Greece, at a comfortable, friendly hotel, is sure to delight.

  • Practise botanical painting and illustration under the expert guidance of Helen Ainsworth
  • Gentle morning excursions using the ‘kalderimi’ (mule paths)
  • Explore the Aegean coast, local villages and olive groves looking for painting subjects
  • Afternoon painting sessions in the hotel’s purpose-built workroom
  • Day trip to Tsagarada, locally famed for its 1,000 year-old plane tree

Tell me about Greece …

Greece is situated in south-eastern Europe on the southern end of the Balkan Peninsula.

It has a mountainous peninsular mainland and the tenth longest coastline in the world. The beauty of its landscapes and its numerous islands (1,400 in total, of which about 230 are inhabited) is world famous.
Greece has a long history. It is generally acknowledged as being the cradle of Western civilisation and the birthplace of democracy.

with international travellers. The guesthouse is located adjacent to the eastern shore of Lake Kerkini, at the wildest part of the lake where feral Water Buffalo graze and Dalmatian Pelicans often feed. Fantastic local cuisine is provided in the cosy restaurant, such as gioufkades (pasta made of thick local pastry), soutzoukakia (oblong meatballs with cumin and garlic) and tsipouro (a local unaged brandy). Although the hotel is fairly modern, each of the eight rooms have been designed in a traditional style with wooden floors and balconies and cosy stone fireplaces. The majority of the lodge’s guests come to visit the lake specifically to enjoy its fantastic birdlife, and the owners will help you make the most of the wonderful fauna and flora on the hotel’s doorstep.
