Our Activities
Language teaching is for us something more than just memorising rules and words. That’s why we decided to combine our love for language teaching with our love for every element of history and culture.
We learn Greek while coming out of the limits of the standard class, combining our lessons with amazing outdoor activities. We walk through the streets of our city and get to know its historical monuments. We chat with the locals, explore new customs and traditions, walk through the old markets, cook, taste wines and discover a big variety of flavors, scenes and products. We visit the cinema, the theater, museums, festivals, concerts and exhibitions. We organize nature excursions, hiking trails and daily trips.
We use imaginative methods that turn our lessons into an enjoyable and creative activity. We use modern educational strategies and adapt our courses to the needs and interests of each student.
We enjoy teaching Greek, while walking through the streets of our country, learning its history and chatting with locals, as we come into contact with the Greek heritage, nature, art and entertainment.
Some of our favourite and most popular activities include:
– Interactive guided tours through the streets of our city, in a museum or in an exhibition.
