Writers in Residence Retreat in Syros, Greece
A flexible writing retreat at Villa Komito with resident authors, optional workshops, full-board accommodation and long stretches of time for your own work.
Why it caught our eye
The retreat gives writing the space it needs without over-scheduling the week. Guests can join practical workshops and conversations with experienced authors, then step away to work independently against the quiet Aegean backdrop.
What you can expect
Days begin with an optional class or group discussion, followed by time for personal projects, feedback and informal conversations with the writers in residence. The programme also includes island walks, swimming, tennis and visits to Ermoupoli. Seven nights, three meals a day, local transport and port or airport transfers are included.
