Art, connection, and inspiration on the island of Aegina
Slow down and reconnect on a small-group retreat designed for women who want more than just a holiday.
Love My Greece Art Retreats brings together creativity, culture and calm on the sun-drenched beauty of Aegina — a character-filled Greek island just an hour from Athens.
Whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or looking to deepen your existing art practice, this retreat offers space to breathe, create and enjoy.
A rare chance to create in a place like no other — why Aegina inspires creativity at every level
Aegina has a way of drawing you in. The light softens edges you didn’t know needed softening. The colours — sea blues, olive greens, sun-washed stone — seem to belong on a canvas before you even lift a brush.
Around every corner, there’s something quietly extraordinary: an ancient temple standing against the sky, a forgotten chapel tucked among the fields, the everyday life of a village unfolding at its own gentle pace. This island doesn’t rush or shout for your attention — it simply offers itself to you, ready to inspire fresh ideas and deeper ways of seeing.
Whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or refining a lifelong practice, Aegina opens a space where creativity feels natural, necessary, and alive.
Daily art workshops
Enjoy daily hands-on workshops with me, an award-winning New Zealand artist. I’ll gently guide you through techniques to help you express your own unique style — all in a relaxed and supportive setting. There’s no pressure or expectations, just encouragement and shared joy in creating.
All art supplies are provided, including canvas boards that fit neatly in your suitcase so you can take your memories home.

This isn’t just a painting holiday — it’s a chance to pause the noise of daily life and come home to yourself.

Travel like a local, not a tourist
I lived on Aegina for over 20 years, and my deep connection with the island helps shape the entire experience. You’ll see more than the usual tourist highlights — expect hidden spots, conversations with locals, and time to settle into the island’s rhythms.
You’ll be looked after every step of the way, with all local transport included and a relaxed itinerary that balances structure with freedom.
Beachfront accommodation you’ll love
Right on the water’s edge, the retreat accommodation at The Beachhouse Appartments is one of the highlights of the trip. Just steps from the sea, it’s the kind of place where you can truly unwind.
Swim in the clear blue water whenever you like, wander barefoot along the beach, or simply take in the ocean views from your room.
It’s the perfect setting to rest, recharge, and enjoy the gentle rhythm of island life.
