In addition to an orientation of the city, your program will also include at least two excursions throughout the semester. Your Site Director will work with you once you are onsite to finalize these excursions based off the group’s interests. Please keep in mind that on our excursions, we want you to get the most out of the city and to experience some of the breathtaking scenery and diverse culture that Greece has to offer.

While we won’t confirm our excursions 100% until after the program starts, below is a list of excursions that students have gone on in the past and are very likely to resemble the ones you will do as well.

• Cooking classes at the Museum of Greek Gastronomy with a trip to a local market to purchase ingredients
• Organic Wine and Olive Oil Tasting Tour
• Traditional Greek Dance Classes

 

In addition to these excursions, CISabroad will help you participate in many cultural events, called our La Vida Local series. Sometimes these are events that we cover the cost of, some are free, and others are social gatherings in which students pay a small fee if they want to participate. Examples of La Vida Local events are: trips to museums or local markets, bowling, concerts, hiking, getting coffee, roller-skating, meals, and much more. La Vida Local events are a great way to see more of local Greek life and bond with your fellow CISabroad students, so don’t miss out! Most of these events are found and organized by our onsite director so look out for emails and Facebook posts once you are onsite.
