Alexandria Institute organizes a Modern Greek language and culture course for all levels on Chios, one of the most distinctive islands in the Aegean. Courses take place at Easter, in June and in September. Students can enroll for an one-week, two-week, three-week or four-week course, depending on the availability.
Our school offers intensive courses at basic, intermediate and advanced levels. Classes aim to help students develop all language skills, while priority is given to speaking as well as verbal comprehension in a multitude of communicative scenarios. We also offer ancient Greek language courses and modern Greek literature and culture courses.
Emphasis is placed on acquainting participants with the Greek culture: local tradition and customs, everyday activities, Greek music, literature, mythology and history are an integral part of the course. Students will have the opportunity to learn about the island’s ancient and medieval history, the Byzantine mosaics in Nea Moni monastery, the medieval mastic villages as well as Kambos fruit orchards. What’s more, they will get to taste the exclusive Chian mastic as well as other distinctive flavours and aromas. Lessons take place at Voulamandis house, where students can have their accommodation.
Lessons take place from Monday until Sunday with a break on Thursday during the first week. On the second week there is a break on Monday and lessons continue from Tuesday until Friday.
