IES Abroad Athens - Summer in Greece
by IES Abroad
Program Overview
Our 6-week Summer in Greece program provides you with the opportunity to experience the rich cultural and historical city of Athens through a wide range of 3-credit courses from our partner, the American College of Greece (ACG), along with an additional 3-credit IES Abroad course exploring the origins of Western civilization.
You’ll get to explore Athens and beyond during your summer in the Med (and maybe even live your own “Mamma Mia!” moment). This unique program includes a 2-week faculty-led study tour at the end of the term to explore major historical, cultural, and archaeological sites in and around Athens. Just think: you get to learn and see where Socratic thinking began (and not to mention Plato, Aristotle, we could go on...).
Why Athens?
There's something timeless about Athens. Maybe it’s the ancient landmarks like the Acropolis or the Temple of Olympian Zeus that make the city feel both familiar and monumental. Maybe it’s the vibrant blend of old and new, where traditional tavernas sit beside modern cafés, and locals from all walks of life fill the winding streets. Whatever is drawing you to Athens, Athens is waiting to say "geiá sou" ("hello") to you!
