A whole day trip to Delfi, Arahova and the Monastery of Osios Loukas.
All the participants had the chance to visit Delfi (known as the belly button of the world) and they were guided to the Archaeological Museum and site by an archaeologist who gave us very significant information about the admirable ancient Greek civilization.
Afterwards they paid a visit to Arahova, a traditional Greek village where they tasted traditional Greek food (as presented in one of the articles) and the Monastery of Osios Loukas, a very old Orthodox church with wonderful mosaics.

All the participants attended the celebration and had the opportunity to see how a Greek National Holiday is celebrated in our country. Some of the students of our school played music and others danced traditional Greek dances (there is a relevant article in the magazine).
Later we all visited the Museum of Acropolis, in Athens, where we admired all the unique exhibits excavated in the area of Acropolis and the Parthenon, the temple of the Goddess Athena symbolizing the ancient Greek spirit and art.
We also visited the Greek National Agency and got useful information about Comenius and other European programmes.
