Next Reading Retreat - June 2020 - Evia Island, Greece
I have been a book lover and devourer ever since I can remember. I was one of those people who didn’t always read the assigned books in school but was always in the middle of a couple of other novels, staying up past my bedtime, reading. It's true!
I’ve been running a thriving English-language book club here in Athens, Greece for over six years now and have been thinking for some time to take us book lovers to some gorgeous seaside place outside of the city at least once a year. Reading lovers from outside of Greece are welcome to attend!
Who’s it for: These retreats are ideally suited to adults of any age—age is but a number, do you agree?
Who can come: You can come solo and make some new friends or you can bring your friends along with you!
What’s it like: Fun and vacationy. Period. I know your day-to-day life is busy as heck, so, for the love of all that is holy, leave your partner, kids, pets, and/or work behind and join us for some fun! Remember the good old care-free kind? Like when we were kids!
Now, FUN can mean different things to different people. That’s why, for the most part, you will be free to enjoy any of the following:
- Long walks on the beach – This is Greece. These are amazing.
- Running – I mean, if this is you, great! I’ll be somewhere reading.
- Hiking – Plenty of beautiful mountainside to explore. I can send you more details when the location is finalized.
- Swimming. Depending on the time of year that you are here, you can swim in the sea. If it’s cold, I’ll dare you. We’ll say 1-2-3 Go! and jump into the water together.
- Drink a glass of carefully selected Greek wine paired with delicious Greek cheeses. This. If anything, come for the wine and cheese.
- Or, just settle down in a quiet place to read. It is a reading retreat after all. :p
Bottom line: Whatever it is that you find relaxing, you will be welcome to do it. Unless it’s illegal.
