IS THE FEE REFUNDABLE IF I HAVE TO CANCEL..?

After 2 years during the covid pandemic of fully covering all cancellations, we are unfortunately now not in a position to continue this policy which is why we recommend you take out a fully comprehensive travel insurance policy to cover all eventualities.

Having said that… cancellations with greater than 12 weeks notice will still be fully refunded minus a £100 admin fee.

If you have paid the total amount for your trip and have to cancel at the last minute or within 12 weeks of the trip… you are liable for the total cost of the trip but you can off-set 50% of its value against a future trip.

We would strongly advise you to take out travel insurance for your holiday in case of flight delays and any other unforeseen and unforeseeable eventualities that may prevent you from being able to take part…. as well as health insurance to cover any unforeseeable medical expenses and repatriation expenses as well as photographic equipment insurance.

CAN I STAY EXTRA NIGHTS..?

Yes of course… email me with your requirements and will try to arrange this for you… please note this is subject to the hotels availability.

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING..?

You will receive a full list of suggested items of clothing and equipment when you sign up for any of our photography workshops or tours. Generally speaking, most of our trips are during the winter months so weather can get cold and you will need to dress appropriately for being outdoors in nature during the winter. As far as photographic equipment goes either a dslr or mirrorless kit will suit you fine.

I’M ONLY A NOVICE, IS THAT OK..?

Our landscape and wildlife photography holidays, workshops and tours will only ever have a maximum of 4-5 participants which will give myself or any of our tutors plenty of scope for one-to-one tuition with each guest… so yes…. beginners, amateurs and even professionals can all benefit from these workshops;

WHAT LEVEL OF FITNESS IS REQUIRED..?

Our landscape and wildlife photography holidays, workshops and tours in general only require a moderate level of fitness… for the photography workshops in the mountains.. such as Pindos and Valia Kalda, it helps if you are reasonably fit so that we can take some of the more arduous trails to some amazing spots for photography.. having said that, we will only ever choose trails though that are within the whole groups ability. With regard to the wildlife photography workshops and tours, most are very easy going and only require a minimum level of fitness.

WHAT ABOUT THE WEATHER,,?

Weather in Greece is fairly stable for the most part but in winter in the mountains it can be unpredictable and unfortunately not within our control… do bear in mind though that frequently some of the best and most dramatic photos are in adverse weather conditions and so hopefully you will leave us having had a fabulous time with some cracking images for your portfolios whatever the weather..!

CAN YOU TAILOR A TRIP FOR INDIVIDUALS OR PRIVATE GROUPS..?

I certainly can…!

Call or Email me with your requirements and I will see what I can do for you.
