Greek Islands

Ladies Who Lit X Nautica Collective

READING RETREAT

Indulge in literary bliss at our exclusive reading retreat, where leisure meets literature, and like-minded women come together for a celebration of words.

Join us solo, or better yet, come with your best friend, sister or another incredible woman in your life for a weekend retreat that blends relaxation, literature, and laughter.

Location

Designed exclusively for the Ladies Who Lit community, this 8-day luxury sailing experience explores the captivating islands of Greece by catamaran.

This route reveals a new facet of the Greek islands with every stop — from whitewashed villages clinging to rocky hillsides to hidden beaches only accessible by boat. Life slows to a sun-drenched rhythm: mornings begin with a swim off the back of the yacht, afternoons melt into pages of your book under the shade of the sail, and evenings are for fresh seafood or golden-hour dips in secluded coves.

Whether you’re seeking connection, reflection, or just a moment to breathe, this is a retreat for women who travel solo, read deeply, and crave something a little different.

No sailing experience required — just a love of books, sea air, and slow living.

Itinerary

Day One - Athens to Aegina

Your Greek sailing holiday begins in style. After a smooth VIP transfer, ease into the afternoon at a luxe beach club on the Athenian Riviera. Champagne, sea breeze and no rush.

Day Two - Aegina to Epidavros

Greet the day with sunrise yoga on deck and a laid-back breakfast with your group. Sail towards Epidavros, where a hike leads to the ancient Temple of Aphaia — sun-drenched and almost untouched. Back on board, dive in for a mid-morning swim and enjoy a long, shaded lunch at anchor. Spend your evening wandering the sleepy port, or stay on deck for dinner as the harbour lights come up.

Day Three - Epidavros to Poros

Snorkel the ruins of the Sunken City of Epidavros — part myth, part history, fully mesmerising. After a beachside brunch, sail to Poros and trade deck shoes for an ATV ride through pine-covered hills and stone watchpoints. Visit the old clock tower and catch your breath at the top. As night falls, choose your pace; wine-soaked plates at a local taverna, or a simple stroll through Poros Town.

Day Four - Poros to Spetses

Morning stroll along the waterfront (or just coffee on deck), then it’s off to Spetses. Midday pause for a cove swim — quiet, clear and postcard-worthy. Arrive in Spetses with time to roam its elegant Old Harbour, a place where captains and artists have always shared streets. Dinner tonight is island classics with a twist.

Day Five - Spetses to Hydra

Sail into car-free Hydra, where donkeys replace taxis and sea walls double as walkways. Visit the island’s historical museum, hike the coast to Kamini, or do nothing but sip iced coffee in a harbour side chair. Later, dive into a cooking class and learn how to layer flavour the Greek way. Evening ends at the bar — not rowdy, just iconic.

Day Six - Moni Island to Perdika

Today’s for nature and no shoes. Stop at Moni Island, where deer roam the cliffs and peacocks strut the sand. Kayak, snorkel & swim where few do. Lunch is a barefoot beach picnic — nothing fancy but everything’s fresh and delicious. Sail on to Perdika and settle in with a sunset seafood dinner right on deck. The view is the kind that doesn’t need words.

Day Seven - Perdika to Agios Kosmas

Swim in the morning silence around Perdika before your final stretch at sea. As the yacht glides back to Agios Kosmas Marina, take the time to sunbathe, read, or just sit in the stillness — salt in your hair, stories on the breeze. Your farewell dinner is an ode to it all; slow seafood, clinking glasses, and the people who turned this trip into something special.

Day eight - Agios Kosmas to Athens

Coffee on deck and a final moment with the waterline. Dock at Agios Kosmas Marina and enjoy a seamless VIP transfer back to the real world — a little slower and maybe already planning the next one.

  • Greek Islands

    Mallorca is a sun-drenched Balearic island off the coast of Spain, known for its turquoise coves, honey-colored The Greek Islands are a sun-soaked paradise scattered across the Aegean, known for their whitewashed towns, cobalt-blue domes, and crystalline waters. From the lively charm of Paros to the postcard perfection of Spetses, this is a Mediterranean dream where ancient history meets laid-back island life, and every sunset feels like it was made just for you.

  • We want everyone to feel welcome and comfortable during our retreats, so here’s a little more detail about the accessibility of this boat:

    Catamarans can present some challenges when it comes to accessibility. There are steps required to access most areas on board, including the bedrooms and communal spaces. Additionally, when the boat is anchored (rather than docked), guests will be ferried to and from land using a tender—a small boat (think luxury dinghy)—which may be tricky to board for those with mobility issues.

    Because of these factors, we suggest handling accessibility requests on a case-by-case basis to ensure we can accommodate your individual needs wherever possible.

    If you have any accessibility concerns or would like to chat about your specific needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help make your retreat experience as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.
