Student Trips to Greece 

A college or university trip to Greece is an extremely enriching experience. Brimming with history and culture, Greece should be at the top of anyone’s educational wish-list. Greece is well-known for its large number of islands, with estimates ranging from 1200 to 6000, but there’s much to do and see on the Greek mainland.

 

Why choose Greece as the destination for your student trips?

A student trip to Greece offers an unforgettable experience. It blends world-changing ancient history, iconic architecture, and stunning natural beauty, making it an ideal destination for college or university visits with a strong focus on culture and classics, and ancient history.

 

The cradle of Western civilisation

The Greek capital, Athens, is packed full of ancient monuments, with its most famous structure, the magnificent Acropolis, visible from almost anywhere in the city. Standing in the shadow of this UNESCO World Heritage site allows visitors to fully appreciate its incredible architecture and enables them to understand the myths and legends of the Ancient Greeks on an Athens student trip. This core site is essential for any classics and ancient history curriculum.

Explore iconic ancient sites and myths

Beyond the capital city, there are plenty more spectacular sites in Greece to inspire and educate your students. You can explore the incredible beauty of the Temple of Poseidon at Sounion, an essential site for understanding Greek mythology and seafaring culture. Other key landmarks include the Ancient Site of Agora and the Temple of Hephaistos, which provide direct insight into the daily life, philosophy, and democracy of Ancient Athens.

Immerse your students in stunning scenery and landscapes

Not only does Greece have amazing monuments, but it’s also home to some of the most stunning scenery in Europe. Whether it’s rugged mountains, postcard-perfect beaches, or picturesque lakes and forests, Greece really does have it all! This diverse environment offers a fantastic contrast to the urban history, showcasing the geography that shaped the ancient city-states.

Savour authentic Greek culture and cuisine

Don’t miss out on a Greek feast during your university or college trip! This culinary hotspot boasts an abundance of delicious, fresh food and tantalising, authentic dishes, such as moussaka, souvlaki, tzatziki, and gyros, to name just a few. So, visit a local restaurant and experience the whole of Greece! Sampling this cuisine provides a rich sensory experience and a delicious dive into the heart of modern Greek culture.
