Plein Air Cavo Kortia


My May visit to Greece was pretty much perfect. For decades, I’ve taken an annual trip with three friends I first got to know when I lived in Colorado. This year we headed to Athens and points beyond.

While I painted in Athens, my favorite spot for plein air painting was along the rocky shore just below the apartment we rented at Cavo Kortia which is near the small town of Kyparissi in the Peloponnese. The piece with the boats was painted while enjoying cocktails with my friends on the terrace of our rented apartment. Then it was off to a wonderful dinner at a terrific open air restaurant on-site. Doesn’t get any better.
