Reading and writing retreats come for the books, stay for the company
Join a small group of book lovers for a gentle reading and writing retreats — Slow days, good books, and friendly company in beautiful places
For people who love books, peace, and good company.
Imagine waking up somewhere beautiful — with the view of the sea and the sound of the waves — with a day ahead that’s yours to enjoy. No rush, just space to read and rest.
That’s what our reading retreats are all about: time to yourself, surrounded by like-minded people who love words and stillness.
Spend your days reading, walking, swimming, or simply doing nothing at all. In the evenings we share good food, easy conversation, and the feeling that, for once, there’s nowhere else you need to be.
We take care of everything — so you can relax completely.
Neil and I first discovered Naxos in the 1980s, back when the island was a hidden gem, untouched by the tourist crowds. Over the years, we returned again and again, bringing our children, friends, and celebrating significant milestones with the island as our backdrop. We've experienced Naxos in every season—winter, spring, and summer—each time deepening our connection to this beautiful place.
