Throughout the semester, students take part in a thoughtfully designed set of excursions in Athens and beyond that complement coursework and introduce them to Greece’s landscapes, communities, and cultural traditions. These experiences balance guided exploration with time for independent discovery, helping students understand Greece not only through its history, but through everyday life.
Mainland trips complement island experiences by highlighting Greece’s regional diversity and layered past. A visit to Nafplio, one of Greece’s most picturesque coastal towns, allows students to explore a living historic center influenced by ancient, medieval, and modern periods. Nearby, students may visit Epidaurus, home to one of the best-preserved ancient theaters in Greece and a powerful example of ancient design, performance, and public space.
Together, these excursions give students a well-rounded understanding of Greece, linking iconic historical sites with modern communities and everyday life. For many students, these shared experiences become some of the most memorable and meaningful parts of the semester.
For overnight excursions, students typically stay in double occupancy hotel rooms.
