Greeks in Australia Promote Greek Tourism

Visit 4 unapproachable Greek islands with colourful fishing boats, dramatic mountains, domed monasteries, white- washed bougainvillea – covered lanes, dense olive groves filled with wildflowers, medieval fortresses and hidden turquoise coves, being accompanied by an experienced painting teacher.

The above described tour has a duration of 19 days and the land cost per person is $ 3,500. Diana Psaromati organizes 5 tours annually from April to October and even non-painters are most welcome in the tours.

Regina Hona, a professional artist especially known for her water subjects and portraiture undertakes the tour responsibility of Australian artists concerning the islands of Leros, Kalymnos, Patmos and Leipsoi. Her main purpose is to teach everyone taking part in this tour, named Greek Island Odyssey.
