Reviews

"Highly recommend this art retreat! The organisation was really fabulous, and the teachers Helen McCusker and Chistiana Vardakou were an honor to learn from. It was the perfect combination between learning a new skill, feeling inspired and still feeling like you're on a holiday."

The artist retreat in Chios with Parea Ada was unforgettable, such an incredible group of people, with amazing workshops. Truly, such a beautiful week of art, community, and culture.

"A beautiful space to create art was provided from the workable surface, art supplies, and teachers, to the accommodation, meals and island excursions to explore the island.. It was authentic, a truly beautiful retreat at allowing for a balance of productivity and relaxation. I came away feeling inspired and created art works that have expanded my creative journey."

"It got me back into drawing and painting again after about 15 years away from it and its been really good for my life. I'm a designer by trade, but I moved to be a people manager in the last year and so I'm away from the tools. I didn't know how much I needed to create things with my own hands. So I've just been exploring since."
