OUR WEEK IN GREECE

We spent six days in Anixi, which is a small town next to Athens. The weather was perfect for the occasion.

The Greek students and teachers were extremely welcoming. They had prepared performances especially for us, and they were waiting with a full table of Greek specialities, so we were able to try their local food.

We had the chance to visit many parts of Greece, including Delphi, Sounion, Athens and more. All the places were beautiful, and also, we’ve learned about the history of famous monuments.

We had so much fun throughout the journey, and we can’t wait to go back again!!:)

We spent the week in a smaller town called Anixi. Anixi is next to Athens. The teachers and the students were super welcoming , especially the students. When we arrived to the school, they presented beautiful songs. We also tried a variety of Greek traditional dishes. We also visited many ancient historical sites, like Delphi, Sounion, Athens. Everything was so magical and even the usually boring bus trips was fun. After all, this was my favourite erasmus trip I have ever participated!

We spent a short week in Anixi. And our expectations were not nearly high.

The people there were all amaing, we made tons of new friends, everybody was kind and welcoming with us.

We have seen the Acropolis, Delphi, Athens and we were in the temple of Poseidon as well. At the evenings we played board games or went drinking a coffee.

So the whole week was eventful, we didnt have the chance to be bored for a moment. In the end it was the greatest Erasmus I was a part of. We can’t wait to go back and meet with these incredible people again.

In March 2023, we were able to spend a week in Athens, more precisely in a suburb. The reception was already fantastic, the students of the school were waiting for us with Greek songs, they gave a very good concert in the hall in honor of our arrival. The whole week was spent in such a friendly atmosphere with very hospitable and enthusiastic hosts. We got to know the school, what problems they have, what the teacher-student relationship is like, how the classes take place. The students speak excellent English, we had no communication problems at all. Greece is extremely rich in historical monuments, we have seen some of them. For me, Delphi was the most decisive, I’ve heard a lot about it, but this is my first time there. We saw beautiful little villages, completely hidden theatre ruins – places only locals know about. And it has always been clear that the Greeks love their country very much, they are proud of it, despite the many problems.

The participating students also became friends very quickly, which is why this week was really memorable.

Hospitality at its best. This is what comes to my mind when looking back on the week that we spent in Anixi, Athens.

When we arrived to the school on Monday morning, something was very suspicious. For some reason our hosts did not let us enter the school building for 5-10 minutes. When we entered, we were amazed by the heartwarming welcome we received. A lot of students dressed up in white were standing in the hallway of the school singing some traditional Greek songs to us. I still remember how moving it was for me to see that we had been really expected and that they had spent a lot of time and energy to make sure that we experience something really special.

During the week the students had the chance to work together on various issues concerning culture and heritage. Besides, we were taken to different historical highlights in Athens where with the help of the Greek students we had the opportunity to learn about the history of the city. We were also taken to Delphoi and to the different theatres and temples that were built in the ancient times.

We truly had the chance to see a very different lifestyle from ours. The Greeks were always happy and always smiling. I believe they do it no matter what happens, because they seem to want nothing more than enjoying life as it is. This is truly something we can learn from them.

One last note: As a teacher, I was very proud of our students. The way they connected with the 14-year-old Greek students despite the age gap, the way they taught them to dance on the very last day was something that I very much enjoyed seeing during our trip.
