Summer Programs in Greece

Are you a history buff? Step back in time and walk the hallowed grounds of the Athens Acropolis, the ancient citadel that housed the Parthenon and other architectural marvels. Walk the road of Delphi on Mount Parnassus to visit the Temple of Apollo and of Athena Pronea. Travel to Mycenae, the birthplace of the Mycenaean civilization whose walls legends say were built by the Cyclops and where Agamemnon once ruled.

Summer programs in Greece take you beyond the tourist attractions. Visit historical villages and experience traditional Greek life. Take culinary classes and learn to prepare delicious dishes passed down for generations. 

Leave the mainland and go island hopping — a quintessential Greek experience. Explore Mykonos, the volcanic landscapes of Santorini, and Naxos’s laid-back charm. Each island boasts its own culture, history, and cuisine waiting for you to discover it. 

Greek summer programs also scratch an itch to learn more. Choose from courses offered by universities and institutes on Greek history, mythology, philosophy, language, or archaeology. Study ancient Greek texts on the soil where they were written or join an archeological dig like the complex in Argilos.

Whether you’re seeking an intensive academic experience or a more relaxed cultural excursion, there’s a perfect summer program in Greece for you.
