The event was informative and enlightening. The activities outside the workshop provided a beautiful view of the island and lifestyle there. I came away with relationships that will last a lifetime. My work as an author has been advanced beyond belief.

It was a wonderful experience in the perfect location. Great atmosphere among fellow writers from all over the world. Mutual inspiration and new friendships which will surely last. Not to mention the spectacular scenery and delicious food. This was my first retreat with Imagine Greece Retreats, and I will come back. Jonas, Rania, and the entire team at Lakki Village went above and beyond. Anyone who’s looking to combine the beauty and hospitality of Greece with an inspiring writing experience will be in the right place. Thank you to everyone who was part of this special week on Amorgos 💫

What an amazing trip to Amorgos, Greece for the Psychological Thriller Readers Retreat. Hosted by the legendary Authors Jonas Saula 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, 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.

We did the Reading Retreat in Amorgos 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!!

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!
