Daily programme
Participants in the 39th International Summer School for Greek Language, History and Culture will follow an intensive language teaching programme for four hours daily, six days a week.

Language classes are obligatory; they are offered at many levels and in small groups, so that beginners and advanced students may practise both the written and spoken word more effectively. There is also a special literature class in which students study contemporary Greek prose and poetry.

Parallel activities
The programme includes visits to Amphipolis, Philippi & Kavala, Western Macedonia, and Pella, Aigai (Vergina) & Dion.
Details of other cultural and recreational activities (lectures, discussions, folk-dancing classes, museum visits, guided tours, shadow theatre, etc.) are included in the printed programme which students will receive on arrival.

Students Accommodation
Summer School students will stay in twin-bedded rooms at the Xenia Helios Hotel, Peraia, Thessaloniki, which is located at the seaside.
