Greek by birth. Author by choice. Entrepreneur by nature.
About Rania
Rania Stone (Synodinou) is a Greek author, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Imagine Greece Retreats. Born with the Aegean in her soul, she has spent years building and running businesses — and brings that same precision, warmth, and local knowledge to every retreat she helps create.
Her thrillers — The Truth Is A Lie, A Wife In Ruins, What He Didn’t Know, The Lives Between Us, and Zero Trust (pre-order, September 2026) — draw readers into vivid worlds filled with suspense, atmosphere, and a distinctly Greek spirit. She has also co-written There Will Be Blood and The Soulless with Jonas Saul, making them one of the rare founding teams in the retreat world where both partners are working and published authors.
You can find her full catalog on her Amazon author page.
Several of her books have been translated, bringing her work to readers beyond the English-speaking world. She teaches social media marketing to authors, helping writers build genuine connections with their readers — and serves as a jury member at international film festivals alongside Jonas.
Bringing people to Greece is, for Rania, like inviting them into her home. Every guest leaves feeling the warmth, comfort, and generosity of true Greek hospitality — because that’s not a service standard. It’s who she is.
Two communities she leads:
Travel to Greece – Read, Write & Retreat — celebrating Greek culture, books, and travel
Thriller Book Retreat — connecting thriller fans and authors worldwide
Follow Rania Stone to discover her books, retreats, and the stories that bring Greece to life.
