WRITE IN ITHACA, GREECE


      The Homeric Writers' Retreat & Workshop On The Greek Isle Of Ithaca
                                                                  August 1 - 7, 2013




Ithaca is a writer’s haven.  It remains unspoiled by the modern world. Even in the height of summer you can find a secluded beach or a rustic corner to contemplate your thoughts. On Ithaca you'll discover the island’s rich culture and the reason why it holds such a special place in the hearts of those who have visited its shores

The new Homeric Writers' Retreat & Workshop invites participants to their very own private odyssey on the island of Ithaca—a retreat about riveting one's writing through an intimate Homeric journey.

  1. I am looking at a picture of Stacey and Alison taken by the shore in Ithaca. Stacey was 8 and Alison 16. It's one of my favorites and it's hanging in my office. Great memories.

    My favorite poem is Ithaca by Kavafy. I'd love to go back...enjoy the journey...maybe it can happen. mk
