A group of students traveled to Greece. After a safe arrival and settling in, they kicked things off at the beach in Glyfada, soaking up the sun and the sea. From there, it was straight to the iconic Acropolis, where they took in sweeping views from the Parthenon. Evenings were spent wandering the charming streets of the Plaka district, enjoying local food and culture.
Next was a trip to the mountainous town of Delphi, where they explored the Temple of Apollo, admired breathtaking views over the Gulf of Corinth, and enjoyed traditional Greek cuisine. Spirits were high as the group celebrated their first “OPA!” moment together.
After crossing the impressive Charilaos Trikoupis Bridge, the students spent two days discovering the historic Peloponnese Peninsula. Their first stop was Olympia, where they stood in the ancient stadium that hosted the original Olympic Games. They even played a lively game of "Red Light, Green Light" on the same grounds where ancient athletes once competed. The day ended with some well-earned relaxation in the coastal town of Tolo, where students connected with new friends from Newfoundland, Canada, and spent time at the beach.
The following day, they visited the Theater of Epidaurus, famous for its flawless acoustics — no microphones needed. They continued to the archaeological site of Mycenae, exploring the remnants of one of Greece’s earliest and most powerful civilizations. A visit to a local ceramic workshop offered insight into the history and artistry of Greek pottery.
The Peloponnesian adventure wrapped up with a stop at the Corinth Canal, an engineering feat that dramatically links the Aegean and Ionian Seas.
