Day 3 - Our First Class & Acropolis Tour
Sunday, July 26th
Kalimera from Athens! After a good night’s sleep, our group was up bright and early and eager to get our very first class underway. However, before we could start classes, we needed to fuel up for the day and what better way than on our beautiful hotel rooftop. Greek breakfast tastes even better when you have the view of the Acropolis right in front of you.
Ms. Ramos’ and Ms. Soleski’s English classes played icebreaker games to get to know each other before diving into King Lear.
Mr. Peters’ Classical Civilizations class ventured out to the nearby archaeological site of Kerkameikos and had a great morning exploring Athens’ rich history.
After a busy day of classes, it was time for our group to hike up to the top of the Acropolis and explore one of the most spectacular sites in the world. Our amazing guide Vasilis helped us deal with the hot Athens sun and took us to the best spots to get some shade and learn about this incredible place.
Following the tour, we walked through the maze of the Plaka shopping neighbourhood, on our way to dinner at a local taverna.
Students had their first opportunity to sign out, and they took that opportunity to explore the local area and do some shopping.
We have an early morning wake-up tomorrow so that we can catch our ferry to the beautiful island of Syros!
We are ready to get our beach on!
Stay tuned for more.
