Reading Retreat With Liv Constantine, Jonas Saul, and Rania Stone!

Join us October 1 – 7, 2026 • Santorini Island in Greece for seven days, six nights!

Join us for a six-night Reading Retreat on the breathtaking island of Santorini, where stories come alive against a backdrop of sea and sky. We’ve designed a week filled with laughter, connection, and inspiration—a getaway you’ll treasure long after it ends.

Meet your favorite authors, join intimate discussions and Ask Me Anything sessions, enjoy dinner with a different author each night, and collect signed books to remember it all. Come for the stories—stay for the memories that will last a lifetime.

Excursion #1

Experience the magic of Thira, Santorini’s stunning capital, on a leisurely four-hour walk that reveals why this island captures hearts around the world. Wander along cobblestone lanes that wind between whitewashed houses, blue-domed churches, and flower-draped terraces that seem to float above the shimmering caldera. With every turn, breathtaking views unfold—the endless Aegean below, the volcanic cliffs glowing gold in the sunlight, and the rhythm of island life all around you. Along the way, you’ll discover hidden courtyards, artisan boutiques, and cafés where time slows to the sound of the sea. This guided walk isn’t just sightseeing—it’s an intimate encounter with the beauty, history, and spirit of Santorini itself.

Excursions #2

End your Santorini day with an unforgettable sunset walk through Oia, the island’s most iconic village. As the afternoon light softens, wander through narrow marble streets lined with art galleries, blue-domed chapels, and cliffside homes carved into volcanic rock. Your guide will share the village’s rich maritime history and hidden viewpoints while the sky begins its nightly transformation. Then, as the sun dips below the horizon, watch Oia glow in hues of gold, rose, and lavender—an ethereal spectacle that has inspired poets, painters, and travelers for centuries. It’s more than a view; it’s a moment of pure Mediterranean magic you’ll carry with you long after the light fades.

Excursion #3

Akrotiri Excavations Add-On Tour with a Guide! (Cost 45 euros per person)

Step back nearly four thousand years into the Bronze Age as you explore the awe-inspiring Akrotiri excavations—Santorini’s own “Greek Pompeii.” Guided by a local tour guide, you’ll wander through remarkably preserved streets, homes, and frescoes that reveal the sophistication of one of the ancient world’s most advanced civilizations. Beneath the volcanic ash that froze time, you’ll uncover stories of art, trade, and daily life that connect directly to the myths of Atlantis. This is more than a tour—it’s a journey into the origins of creativity and human resilience, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Santorini’s sunlit cliffs and the Aegean’s deep blue shimmer.

Plus: Learn how to do a Greek dance while in Greece for 10 euros per person!
