The Art Exchange

by Sheri Leigh

Dr. Caterina Pizanias, PhD, has been introducing travelers to Greek arts and culture by leading trips to her native Greece for over ten years. Each trip begins in Greece and each is as different as the islands they visit. You'll meet visual artists, jewelry makers, poets and sculpturors as you travel through this vibrant and diverse country.

Through the eyes of a native you will learn about Greece's history, its culture and, of course, their culinary arts. Groups are kept small—8-12 persons—to allow flexible scheduling for enjoying boutique wineries, stays in family run hotels and meeting local residents. 

Similar past trips have included: The Art and Architecture of the Aegean, Marble tradition and innovation, Aegean Palimpsests: a photographic journey to Tinos and The Art and Craft of Clay.

Upcoming tours for 2008 include A Cycladic Extravaganza! and Trekking Crete.

If you love the arts and desire to visit the beautiful land of Greece, The Art Exchange is a great way to get an up-close look at a fascinating world whose heritage we all share.
