Accommodation

This will be in The Manor House, an elegant building and one of the most famous houses on the island, which commands wonderful views of Loggos harbour and the mountains on the Greek mainland. The Manor House is just a couple of minutes walk from the centre of Loggos and from the nearest beach. We will advise you at the time of booking, if it becomes necessary to arrange additional accommodation, which we will endeavour to ensure is of a similar standard and in the same vicinity.

Single supplements

Accommodation in a shared twin/double room is included in the price and a limited number of twin/double rooms are available for single occupancy upon payment of a supplement of £125 per person per week.

Stephanos Apartment

Immediately adjacent to The Manor House are Spiros and Stephanos Apartments. Spiros Apartment will normally be used by the course leader but you may book Stephanos Apartment, which has its own living room/kitchen and shower room, and can sleep a third person on a sofa bed in the living room, for a supplement of £50 per week (for the apartment and not per person). This is in addition to any other supplement payable.

Allocation of rooms

We are not able to allocate rooms until we know the final make-up of the group. It is therefore not possible to book specific rooms, although you may make special requests, which we will do our best to meet. You may, however, state your preference for a double or twin room if two people are booking together.

We will, as far as possible, allocate what we consider to be the best rooms to early bookers but we will need to reserve twin rooms, rather than doubles, for sharers, unless a double has been specifically requested. With the exception of the bedroom in Stephanos Apartment, the bedrooms in The Manor House are of a similar size but, whereas some have sea views, others do not.

Meals

Prior to the start of the holiday we will ask you what you would like for breakfast and we will then provide you with a large breakfast hamper which we will replenish mid-week. A meze-style lunch with local wine is included on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Dinner with local wine is included on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. These meals will be taken in local tavernas which will be selected by the holiday leader. In addition, there will be welcome and farewell drinks on the Manor House terrace before dinner on Monday and Sunday.

Transfers

Transfers between Corfu Airport and The Manor House, Loggos are included and these will be by shared taxis and the scheduled hydrofoil service, unless stated otherwise on your Booking Confirmation and Confirmation Invoice. If the hydrofoil service between Corfu and Paxos is suspended for any reason eg adverse weather conditions, mechanical failure or industrial action, we will do our best to arrange alternative transport for you. Where we are able to do this, it will be subject to the payment by you of any additional charges incurred by us. If we are unable to arrange alternative transport, then we will help you to find accommodation, which again will be at additional cost to you. It is essential that your insurance policy includes cover for delayed departure, missed departure and missed connection.

We can also arrange transfers using the sea taxi from Corfu but these will incur an additional charge. Details of all the transport services that operate between Corfu and Paxos are on the Getting to Paxos pages of this website.

Flight timings

The cost of travel to and from Greece is not included and we do not arrange this. If you are travelling via Corfu, you should choose a flight that lands by 13.00 at the latest in order to be sure of catching the afternoon hydrofoil service to Paxos. If your flight lands later than 13.00, then you may have to spend the first night of your holiday on Corfu at your own expense.

On the return journey, the early morning hydrofoil from Paxos will normally get you back to Corfu in time to catch flights leaving after 11.00. If you are at all concerned about getting back to Corfu in time to catch your return flight to the UK, then you might like to consider extending your holiday and spending an additional night in Corfu town.  We are always happy to discuss the options with you.     

Holiday insurance

It is a condition of booking our holidays/courses/activities that you have comprehensive travel insurance that includes cover for the holidays/courses/activities in which you intend to participate. The cost of insurance is not included in the cost of the holiday but we have arranged a policy which you can buy on-line with Travel & General Insurance Company plc. Before purchasing this, you must ensure that it meets all your requirements. If you have already taken out travel insurance, you will need to check your policy to ensure that it provides cover for all the holidays/courses/activities in which you will be participating. If it does not, then you will need to contact your insurer to arrange additional cover. For holidays to Paxos it is particularly important that your insurance policy includes cover for delayed departure, missed departure and missed connections, as transport links with Corfu can sometimes be disrupted. 

For Further Information: Please contact us

To Book: Please read our Booking Conditions and Important Information pages, and then complete and submit an On-Line Booking Form. Our painting holidays are open to anyone aged 18 or over. However, Paxos is a relatively hilly island and we therefore do not feel that they are suitable for anyone with walking difficulties.
