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.

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.
