Accommodation
Accommodation for all courses
will be in
villas
with private swimming pools about a 20
minute walk or a five minute drive above Loggos,
one of the three main villages on Paxos.
However, the swimming pools are not heated and may not be available
for any courses held in April.
It will
not be possible to confirm which villas we shall
be using until about eight weeks before the
start of each course but we shall be using
villas such as
Villa
Levanda,
Villa Maria and
Villa
Paradisos. We shall be
run all the villas that we use for each course as one unit and all
participants will have the use of the facilities
at all villas.
Single supplements
Accommodation in a shared twin 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.
Allocation of rooms
We are not able to allocate rooms until we know
the final make-up of each 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. You may also state your preference for
an en suite room, should one be available, for which a supplement of £40
per week (for the room and not per person) will
be payable. This is in addition to any other
supplement payable.
We
will, as far as possible, allocate what we
consider to be the best rooms to early bookers
but we need to reserve twin rooms, rather
than doubles, for sharers, unless a double has
been specifically requested.
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.
Transfers
Transfers from Corfu airport to your
accommodation on Paxos are included in the
cost of all courses.
All transfers
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 in the
cost of the course 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
Writing courses 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.
We will ask you for details of your insurance
policy before you travel to Greece and before
you are allowed to take part in any of our
courses or activities.

'Inspired by Paxos' is open to people of all
ages and abilities aged 21 or over. All other
courses
are open to people of all ages and abilities
aged 18 or over. However,
Paxos is a relatively hilly island and we
therefore do not feel that it is suitable for
anyone with walking difficulties.
