Understanding the difference between an Art Retreat and an Art Holiday at Cyprus Art Retreat.

Welcome to Cyprus Art Retreat. A place of quiet inspiration, forested mountains, and Mediterranean light. Here, we invite you to experience more than a holiday. We invite you to a retreat.

An Art Retreat is thoughtfully curated for you. Around 20% is guided – with carefully designed sessions to help you reconnect with art, with yourself, and with nature. The remaining 80% is your space. Time moves slowly. You choose your pace, your rhythm, your moments of reflection. This is where you step away from schedules and rediscover the pleasure of creating.

By contrast, an Art Holiday is 70% curated. It is the Cyprus experience. Daily excursions, cultural visits, guided painting sessions in mountain villages and coastal shelters – all organised for you. You are accompanied, supported, and immersed in the island’s history, food, and traditions. It is rich, full, and structured around discovery.

Last Friday we held a microplastics workshop in the village of Anglesides, highlighting microplastics in our environment. Cyprus is under a silent siege from macro- and microplastics, yet young people, engrossed in social media, remain unaware that their future is being eroded right before their eyes. Instagram dominates, TikTok captivates. Our workshops seek to highlight these dangers and recruit eco-warriors to protect the future ecosystem.

Hey Leon. You are looking good.

Kalimera!!! ☀️🫂
Great news ‼️‼️‼️
Leon is feeling much better!
Thank you so much for your words of support. ❤️🙏 It means a lot at times like these. Especially since the illness came on so suddenly...I'd say it took us by surprise.
We couldn't believe Leon could feel so bad so quickly. Honestly, we'd kind of forgotten what it's like for our warrior to be sick like this.
Fortunately, thanks to enzyme replacement therapy, Leon is stronger, and these things happen less often now.
Look, he is smiling again!😁😍

Today, we remember Dunkirk and the Allied heroes – including the often-forgotten Cypriot pioneers who stood with them in 1940. The Cyprus Regiment.

As the Battle of France unfolded, roughly 500 Cypriot pioneers were stationed near the Maginot Line, serving with courage and quiet determination. When German forces advanced, they joined the long, perilous retreat to the coast, shoulder to shoulder with their comrades in arms.

Many of these Cypriots were evacuated from Dunkirk in late May 1940 – over 450 managed to escape, carrying with them stories of resilience, sacrifice and duty.

To our partners in business and government: let us ensure that this shared history is acknowledged, preserved and honoured. Today, we remember Dunkirk not only as a British story, but as a chapter in a wider Allied and Cypriot legacy of courage.

Welcome to Cyprus, an island of historic significance, with forested mountains and wonderful beaches.
As you plan your seasonal hiking break, October and November are the ideal months to enjoy an inspiring hiking holiday with us at www.trekking.cy. In Agioi Vavatsinias, one of the most beautiful villages in Cyprus, we offer a centre-based trekking experience designed with care, precision and a deep respect for nature and local heritage.
Our experts have meticulously mapped out routes and curated a special stay in our comfortable villa. From this tranquil base, guests are guided away from the crowds to timeless mountain villages, to walk amongst unspoiled nature and dine on the region’s bounty—fresh local produce, traditional recipes and warm village hospitality.
For us, this is the best time of the year. The heat of summer is over, giving way to long, hazy days that invite exploration. Guests wake to birdsong as soon as they open their window, enjoy leisurely breakfasts on the terrace, watch butterflies floating above long meadow grasses, and then set out on walks that restore and revive the senses. It is a complete experience: landscape, culture, gastronomy and relaxation in perfect balance.
Agioi Vavatsinias, south of the Macheras Forest and perched 700 metres above sea level, is an exceptional base. The village’s chestnut-coloured hills, traditional stone houses and surrounding forests create a setting that is both authentic and serene. From here, our routes reach remote trails, panoramic viewpoints and hidden chapels, allowing visitors to discover a Cyprus far beyond the ordinary tourist path.
Booking early is strongly recommended.
I invite you to explore further details at www.trekking.cy and to contact us to discuss potential cooperation, group allocations or tailored arrangements for your clientele.
