Overall, I had a blast and I'd do it again in a heartbeat! I loved the sense of community and camaraderie. I think Tanya did a wonderful job leading us and her workshop on deep work was well-planned and executed. The sheet was especially useful. I also enjoyed the location country. I would prefer to go outside of Europe, but of all the European countries, I would say Greece is a top choice for me. There's a little bit of everything for everyone, and it's just such a beautiful country. Moving forward, I think an underlying theme that could be better smoothed out is consistent messaging. For example, I understood that food would be buffet style for all meals, but that wasn't the case for lunch. I wasn't as big of a fan of the limited options for lunch, including the hotel closing off the caffeine options. I would also say that I noticed some concerning patterns in communication when it came to Jonas. One on one, I had nothing but positive experiences with him. He was quick and responsive with me. However, the room snafu with 2 of the participants left me feeling concerned about how else he could drop the ball. Another instance that gave me pause was his underselling the difficulty of the hike. I did not attend, and honestly, I was so thankful I didn't because several of the participants did not seem amused since it sounded like the hike was much more difficult than how it was originally explained. Lastly, this is small but I would've really appreciated more snacking options from the beginning. I love cake, but my goodness, by day 3 I was caked out. Thankfully, after a request from a participant, they changed the offerings (for the better in my opinion).

Imagine Greece Retreats has the unique ability to take a group of people with a common interest, place them in a picturesque location, and have them leave a week later feeling like an extended family. Add their warm, welcoming nature and delicious food and it’s a trip that you’ll be thinking about long after you return home. Greece has a way of making its way into your heart so that you can’t wait to start planning your return!

This was an amazing week on the beautiful island of Amorgos, full of Greek hospitality. Very well organised with two days exploring Athens followed by a wonderful week at Lakki Village, beautiful accomodation, friendly staff and delicious food. It was such an experience to meet these fun, talented authors and many other people from acros the world with a love of reading. New friendships were formed. Brilliantly organised by Jonas Saul and Rania Stone. Definitely a week to remember for ever!

I had an amazing experience! Accomodation, food, authors and attendees were awesome! The hosts were incredibly helpful and responsive.

Amazing accommodations, people, and food.
