Wow! The folks at Imagine Greece Retreats know how to throw a party! From the guided tours to the incredible food, every second of this trip was perfectly executed. The resort on Amorgos is picturesque, perched right on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea. Highly recommend.
Imagine Greece Retreats have created something very special. I can’t imagine a better way to spend a week, or a more beautiful place in which to spend it.
The week gave me the opportunity to focus on improving my craft and to take my works-in-progress to a new level.
Writing is a solitary pursuit and other writers get that; imposter syndrome is real; hanging out with other writers and talking about fight scenes or white space on a page or voice or research rabbit holes is like lighting a bunsen burner under my writing mojo. It fires me up enough to get through the solitary writing months ahead …
My husband and I had an amazing time on our Imagine Greece Retreat! After a wonderful tour of Athens and the acropolis, we were taken to beautiful Amorgos. We loved the excursions to the monastery, the shipwreck, and one of the best beaches I’ve ever visited. The “rest” days were just as great, allowing us to poke around the shops in the village, read by the pool, and swim in the sea. We ate delicious food, learned traditional Greek dances, and some of us even sang! Meeting readers in person was incredible — people from all walks of life, from around the world, coming together over a shared love of books. I feel like I’ve made friends to last a lifetime.
I just came back from a week on Amorgos, teaching at the Writers’ Retreat. What a place, what a time! My partner and I were made so welcome by the Lakki Village staff, nothing was too much trouble. The location was excellent, the beach beautiful, and the meals superb. The organizers, Jonas Saul and Rania Stone, could not have been more generous. This made the work flow. It was wonderful to be able to share ideas and discuss the craft and the business of writing. I was the teacher yet learned so much too. Can’t wait to return!
I’ve never taken a vacation that propelled me toward a lifelong dream — or one that handed me the tools and hard-earned knowledge gathered over the years by these wildly successful authors. In the past, I might’ve come home with a sunburn and a hangover, but never with encouragement, inspiration, and such determination to get that first draft on the page. If writing, word-count, reading or yoga retreats sound interesting – I highly encourage you to go with Imagine Greece Retreats and have a vacation that may well change your life.
A beautiful place, glorious food and drink and – best of all – a friendly, enthusiastic bunch of book lovers. I was so well looked after by Imagine Greece Retreats – I loved every minute.
I went to every workshop—glorious tutorials held with a backdrop of turquoise Mediterranean Sea.
The retreat was fantastic. A lot of good information from Jonas and Rania! The location was gorgeous and the people very friendly and nice. I highly recommend this writing retreat!!
The retreat was a joy from start to finish. Booking was effortless, and communication with the organizers was smooth and responsive. We stayed in cozy accommodations, enjoyed delicious meals, and had a blast sightseeing. Best of all, I got to meet amazing new people and explore an unfamiliar place—all while indulging in my favorite pastime: reading. Thank you for making this a memorable trip.
Jonas is a great guide and retreat facilitator! He really made our trip. Can’t wait for the next one. 100% recommend!
This was an amazing week on the beautiful island of Amorgos, full of Greek hospitality. Very well organized with two days exploring Athens followed by a wonderful week at Lakki Village, beautiful accommodation, friendly staff and delicious food. It was such an experience to meet these fun, talented authors and many other people from across the world with a love of reading. New friendships were formed. Brilliantly organized by Jonas Saul and Rania Stone. Definitely a week to remember for ever!
This is the second time I’ve come to this retreat and it was amazing. Jonas and Rania are wonderful hosts and friends. The group is always amazing and I miss them all. Liz and Robyn were extraordinary guests to our trip. I enjoyed reading books by all of the authors. Will definitely be attending again.
