Course description
Sing up for the Ancient Greek language course on Paros, birthplace of the lyric poet Archilochus.
Alexandria Institute organizes an Ancient Greek language course at basic, intermediate and advanced levels on one of the most popular Cyclades islands, Paros, in July. Students can opt for a two-week, three-week or four-week course, gaining valuable insight into Ancient Greek language.
Our Institute aims at providing you with a thorough educational experience, as the actual courses are enhanced by visits to archaeological sites and museums as well as by the students getting acquainted with the local customs. Therefore, every scheduled activity is directed at familiarizing the students with the island’s cuisine, architecture and heritage as well as helping them experience its authentic aura.
Our courses include:
1. Teaching material
2. A cultural walk or a guided tour to a museum
3. A welcome dinner
4. A farewell dinner
5. A Greek movie screening or a lecture on a subject related to Greek culture
6. A dance lesson, or a cooking lesson, or a Greek music workshop
7. Attendance certificate
In case attendance is greater than expected, further excursions and tour guides may be added, while the initial itinerary may have to be modified, responding to unexpected weather or other events. A minimum attendance of three is required for our cultural course to take place.
