PAINTING HOLIDAY IN AKROTIRI, SANTORINI - Thurs. 3rd – 10th OCT. 2019

Following our 4 highly successful painting holidays in the Greek islands over the last 3 years, we are now planning a return visit to Santorini in early Oct. 2019.

Santorini (Thera) is the remnant of a volcanic caldera, which forms the southernmost member of the Cyclades group of islands and may have been the inspiration for Plato’s story of Atlantis.

Evidence of the ancient Minoan civilization, destroyed by a devastating volcanic eruption some 3,500 years ago, may be seen at the site of extensive archaeological excavations on the edge of Akrotiri. These remains have been compared to those at Pompei.
