Learn Ancient Greek in modern Greece and join us this summer on the blue shores of the
Northern Peloponnese: We will create an environment in which full immersion is highly
encouraged and that will allow you to practice your language skills in daily conversations
with like-minded peers. Each day, there will be different reading classes and workshops
conducted in Ancient Greek. On your day off you can choose to either relax on the beach or
to join us on a trip to Delphi. For more details see the program below or contact us at:
