Apollo Studios Reading Week

Corfu, Greece is a stunning holiday destination known for its crystal-clear beaches, lush green landscapes, and charming old towns. Rich in history, culture, and vibrant nightlife, it offers something for everyone. 

Apollo Studios is nestled in nature, offering stunning mountain views while being close to one of Corfu’s best beaches, numerous shops, restaurants and bars.

For the first five evenings, we’ll gather over dinner to socialise and share thoughtful discussions. Our Book Club meeting will focus on My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell — a delightful autobiographical tale set on the Greek island of Corfu, capturing the author’s eccentric family life, love of nature, and humorous adventures in a sun-soaked paradise.

The final two days of your holiday are unhosted, giving you the freedom to relax by the pool, unwind on the beach, or explore the local area at your own pace.

In addition to our Book Club dinners, we’ll enjoy a special “A Book I Love” evening, where each guest can share a personal favourite — inspiring lively conversation and new literary discoveries.

Books in Places creates exceptional reading retreats and literary escapes for book lovers, offering opportunities to connect with fellow readers and travellers who share your passions. Most guests join us solo, and single occupancy is the standard. However, twin rooms are available for those who prefer to share the experience with a friend or partner.
