The short answer
A residency from Lakkos Artist Residency, Greece. Applications close 3 September 2027. Official terms last checked 1 September 2026.
Not stated by the organiserhow it is funded, what it pays, who can apply, the selection odds. Blank is never read as favourable, and nothing here is estimated to fill it.
In the organiser's words
Quoted from lakkosartistresidency.com and checked on 1 September 2026. This is the organiser's description, reproduced as captured. It has not been through the evidence checks that produced the figures above.
There is no residency program. The residency is known for murals, but this depends on the weather. Of course, Crete being Crete, we get some lovely winter days that trick you into thinking spring has come early. Most artists come to stay during the hot months. What the summer guests miss is seeing how Greeks/Cretans live outside of the busy tourist season. In the colder months, Heraklion City is buzzing with the locals who are much more relaxed as it’s their downtime of the year.
The residency tends to be less busy, but for those who do come (normally to escape their colder winters), it’s a much more authentic experience. A discounted offer is 150 Euros a week for dates between 04/01/2027 and 02/04/2026. Please mention this in your application.
Minimum stay two weeks.
The residency is in a beautiful Modernist-style house located inside the five-hundred-year-old Venetian Walls of Heraklion City’s Old Town. there are two bedrooms upstairs which share a kitchen and bathroom. When those rooms are booked out there is a private apartment downstairs with its own bathroom and kitchen.
All creatives are welcome.
There are no separate studio spaces upstairs. Guests often work in the kitchen but generally in their bedrooms. The downstairs apartment has what was once the original living room for a studio.
A reduced off-season price is 190 Euros per week for one upstairs, or 250 Euros per week for a couple or the private downstairs apartment. There is a 50% non-refundable advance deposit to reserve a stay. Paint can be provided for one mural (spray not included).
The artists must be pleasant to other guests. There are no expectations apart from keeping the residency tidy. The residency has a reputation for murals/street art.
