Reading Retreat in Turkey - June 22027

Join fellow book-lovers for a week-long reading retreat in beautiful Ölü deniz, not far from Rhodes in southern Turkey. The perfect way to unwind with a book or two, while enjoying the company of other book lovers, discussing books and having a book club night for the book Birds without Wings by Louis de Bernières.  

Birds Without Wings” by Louis de Bernières (author of Captain Corelli’s Mandolin), is set in this area of Turkey near Fethiye.
 The book is a sweeping historical novel set in a small Turkish village during the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the rise of modern Turkey. Like Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, it blends love, war, and loss, exploring human connections amid cultural upheaval and conflict.
