Description

Learning Greek abroad in Athens, Greece is one of many language immersion programs offered by AmeriSpan. The peninsula of mainland Greece is surrounded by more than 1400 islands, 169 of which are inhabited. This land of ancient sites and architectural treasures offers much more than age-old spectacular natural sites, including an extremely rich flora, and cultural and modern diversions ranging from elegant museums to luxury beach resorts. Modern Greece is the result of a diverse mix of influences: Romans, Arabs, Latin Crusaders, Venetians, Slavs, Albanians, Turks, Italians, not to mention the Byzantine Empire.

The best time to visit Greece is late April to mid-June just before it becomes a popular vacation spot. Roughly four-fifths of the country is mountainous hence it is the perfect backdrop for trekking. During the winter months, a delightful and less expensive alternative to the Alps, skiing and other winter sports are the attraction in the mountains, southern mainland and on the island of Crete.

Learn Greek Language in Greece:
This ancient Greek capital city, named after the goddess Athena, is located on the southeastern end of the country. Today, a modern city of more than four million people, and the largest city in Greece, Athens is one of Europe's most popular visitor destinations. Built around the ruins of the Acropolis, this city is full of lively taverns, bustling shops, a well-known flea market in the old quarter, and narrow winding alleyways. The newly constructed pedestrian walk connects what is being referred to as an "Archaeological Park".

Greek School Facilities:
Downtown in the city center, near the National Archeological Museum. The school's central location offers easy access to public transportation. Housed in a modern building, the school offers air-conditioned classrooms, video and audio capabilities, a small library and a computer room with internet access.

AmeriSpan Study Abroad's Mission Statement

Our mantra is "Every Language, Every Culture, Everywhere." AmeriSpan Study Abroad has over 15 years experience and over 30,000 past participants. Our staff has three passions: language, culture, and travel. Individually and as a group, we have accumulated experiences and knowledge related to these passions. AmeriSpan's staff has traveled to more than 65 countries, every continent except Antarctica, speak 10 languages, and we are happy to share this enormous amount of relevant knowledge with you. Every staff member has studied and/or lived abroad for extended periods of time. We are neither a language school nor a travel agent, we're a hybrid of the two: a language travel organization. AmeriSpan has evaluated hundreds of schools, host families and destinations to determine which programs to offer, and our independence allows us to give you unbiased evaluations of these programs. Our pledge to our participants is to make going abroad 'worry-free'. There is no risk in choosing an AmeriSpan program because you'll get the best program, best price and can cancel for any reason and get a full refund on every dollar we have received for your program.
