Testimonials from Past Guests
“What an amazing trip to Amorgos, Greece for the Psychological Thriller Readers Retreat. Hosted by the legendary authors Jonas Saul and Rania Stone, I was delighted by this little corner of paradise. The hotel resort was lovely in its complete and modern rooms, ground amenities, dining options, the pool area, and bar. Lena, the bartender, was superb. Rania’s family owns and runs the resort. So friendly and inviting this family was, I could not ask for more. The resort is located right on the beach. I started my mornings with tea and breakfast and a glorious beach view. It does not get better than that. The retreat schedule of events was just right. Something fascinating to experience each day with plenty of time to explore or chill as you like. Jonas is the perfect host with knowledge, humor, and energy enough for everyone. The author guests were accessible and engaging, even those we met via Zoom. It was thrilling to learn about their beginnings, writing styles, publishing, and all. AND, oh the giveaways! The retreat swag is top-notch. I truly enjoyed this experience and am looking forward to a return trip. I highly recommend this retreat experience.” – Tina K.
“We did the Reading Retreat in Amorgos in June 2024, and it was fabulous!! The island, the venue, the food, the events—everything was perfect! It was so helpful to have Imagine Greece Retreats coordinate all arrangements, and they were readily available to answer questions. If you love reading and want to experience Greece, this is the way to do it!!” – Tracy Y.
