Language holidays in Greece & the islands

Language holiday in Greece is a fun way to combine Greek language courses and holidays. Due to the popularity of this holiday type, there are Greek language courses for foreigners in many parts and islands of the country, from popular destinations such as Crete, Lefkada, Paros and Athens, to less tourist places including Andros, Chios, Ikaria, Kavala and Syros.

These language holidays in Greece usually take place in tourist season but intensive courses may also be organized during winter. Levels vary from beginners to specific language courses, such as courses for archaeologists and classicists. These language holiday packages usually include accommodation and cultural tours or other activities in the region.
