Artistic creativity comes effortlessly on a Greek island like Corfu. Lying in the Ionian Sea, where the legendary Greek light and magnificent blue sky join the crystal-clear, green and turquoise sea. The landscape is awash with the silhouettes of olive and cypress trees, while every imaginable flower and plant fills the air with the fragrances of the Mediterranean. The old town of Corfu with its two Venetian fortresses, the narrow twisting alleyways (kandounia) and its cosmopolitan atmosphere have remained unchanged through time. Around the city, the ancient Greek ruins still stand as proud witnesses of our ancient heritage.
The island is dotted with picturesque villages where locals continue to maintain age-old traditions. Our team is mainly composed of Corfiots, true descendants of the Phaeacians, renowned for their hospitality since the time of Homer. Corfu old town a UNESCO world heritage site, is a journey into history. Developed through the centuries by the osmosis of features of the two worlds of the Mediterranean, the East and the West
The mosaic of cultures that passed through Corfu along with the unique beauty of the island has been a source of inspiration for artists throughout the centuries. Our philosophy is that by coming into contact and exploring one’s inner creativity, while also discovering the benefits of immersion in art, nature and culture, one’s personal life can only be enriched and improved.
All this takes place within the superb and magical scenery of Corfu island, in the company of people who all share common interests, friendly tutors and hospitable locals.
We hope that as genuine descendants of the Phaeacians we can help you to discover your own Ithaca!!!
