At this moment there is no course planned in Greece.

SUMMARY OF THE 2013 MOSAIC COURSE IN KANTIA
The students arrived at Sunday afternoon and were served a delicious lunch. The teachers then introduced themselves and the programme for the coming week was announced. Next morning the courses immediately started. Hella Steins from Smashing Stones taught her students how to make mosaic jewellery and glass-on-glass mosaics, while at the same time there were several other activities going on, such as sculpting and painting. These courses were also organised by Griekenland aan Zee.

The morning was completed with a tasteful lunch, after which the students were free to spend the afternoon in whatever way they wanted. Of course many of them immediately went to the beach, which is situated directly next to the hotel and course location.

An extensive Mediterranean dinner, made by Jean Pierre Voogt, topped off the day in a perfect manner.

The programme for Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday was identical to the programme of Monday, with one exception, on Wednesday evening dinner took place in an authentic Greek restaurant in Nafplion. Once the capital of Greece, Nafplion now is a bustling harbourtown. There are many souvenir and jewellery shops, galleries, and restaurants, as well as an imposing Venetian castle which towers high above the town.

On Thursday the students had their day off. Some of them took this opportunity to rent a car and do some sight-seeing, others stayed at Kantia to continue working on their mosaics, sculptures, paintings etc or to enjoy the beach.

The last day of the course took place on Saturday and was concluded with a festive exhibition.
