Sip & Paint by the Sea体験

Painting with Veronika was a great experience. The location at the restaurant was overlooking the sea. The food served was delicious and the wine was a great paring. Veronika explained the techniques of working with acrylics and had so many helpful hints to make the painting perfect. I highly recommend this experience to anyone, skilled or unskilled. It was a fun afternoon.

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful experience at our paint and sip at Melina’s Tavern. It is truly a magical spot in Akrotiri, family owned and full to the brim with art; it’s impossible not to be inspired in such a beautiful setting. Our teacher Veronika was welcoming, kind and always there to guide us when needed. A professional artist herself, she provided sage advice to help us to bring our visions to life. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced painter, you’ll feel overjoyed and excited to create! She set up all of the supplies we needed for painting and even thoughtfully packaged our finished products so now we can travel with them without worrying they’ll be ruined. The Tavern also provided plentiful and delicious appetizers, great beer and wine. Honestly this was better than we could’ve expected & if we had more time in Santorini we would’ve loved to return again. Highly recommend this experience!! Thank you Veronika!

Me and my friend had the most amazing time while at Melina’s tavern. Definitely recommend for friends/couples to do while in Santorini. The people working were very kind and the food was amazing! 10/10 would do it again!!

I went to this experience with my wife, my wife has some painting talents & I have none. Veronika was a great teacher & has studied to get all of her art skills at a top university. She gave us both some knowledge about how to mix paints to make different shades of colours, she also gave us different brush strokes techniques to make different effects on our paintings & she also gave us some history/knowledge about the brickwork & structures of the property’s of Santorini. The local Greek food and wine were delicious! We got to take home our paintings, which is a special memory of our honeymoon to Santorini & this class has been a real highlight of our time here. We love that this is set in a family run restaurant where you can also book a sculpture class with the father. There is a gallery where you can purchase some of the great work the talented family have made. The view of the restaurant overlooks the ocean & is like something from a movie. I highly recommend anyone to enjoy this brilliant experience at such a great value 😎🎨🌅

This class was the highlight of my trip to Santorini! Far from the typical cookie cutter paint n sips in the U.S., the class is taught by a local Santorini artist who encourages students to find their personal style and is willing to assist as little or as much as each painter would like. There was a still life set up on the table, with the option to paint that, or an image from a photography book, or something from your imagination. Beyond the wonderful instruction, the location is absolutely wonderful. Set right on the water, with views galore, the restaurant, built into the cliff by the artist's father and grandfather, is now run by all the siblings and includes a small art gallery along with the restaurant. The appetizers and wine provided were also plentiful and delicious. I can't say enough good things about this experience. Definitely a must do for a one of a kind experience!!
