GREEK LANGUAGE, CULTURE, HISTORY AND ARCHAEOLOGY

3 Week Summer travel program - The language and culture of Greece

WHY STUDY IN GREECE

Greece is a land of contrasts; picturesque islands, rugged mountains, isolated rural villages and modern cities. Every aspect of this amazing country reveals the diversity, complexity, enthusiasm and intensity with which life is lived in Greece. With a single glance one can easily discern aspects of the ancient world, Byzantine culture and contemporary pragmatism. Here you can learn about classical civilization, walk through ancient streets, share the passion of local politics, witness the legacies of Alexander the Great, the Romans under Constantine the Great, the Byzantine Empire, etc.
