Where to Stay During Your Greek Course on Lefkada island

Omilo organizes a 1– and 2-week Greek language course on the beautiful island of Lefkada (JUNE), in the picturesque village of Agios Nikitas, located about 15 km from Lefkada Town.

If you’re planning to join one of our courses, you’ll be happy to know there are several lovely accommodation options within walking distance of the course location. Below you will find our recommendations and useful information to help you choose the best place to stay.


1. Accommodation booked by Omilo

The language lessons take place at the Agatha Pension, where Omilo also reserves eight rooms for our students.
These rooms cannot be booked online, as they are managed directly by Omilo.
Please note that they are already fully booked.

In addition, Omilo can also arrange accommodation at Pantazis Studios, which offers six studios equipped with a small kitchenette, and balcony with sea view.
These studios are also booked directly through Omilo (but only when you are an Omilo student in the Lefkada course)

2. Accommodation you can book Online

If you prefer to book your own accommodation, that’s no problem at all!
Many students choose to reserve their stay online through platforms such as Booking.com or Airbnb.

A few things to keep in mind:

  • Availability: Some hotels and studios remove their listings during the winter months, so you’ll find more options online from February onward.

  • Location: All the suggested accommodations are within walking distance of the course location and the beach.

  • Student favorites: Over the years, several Omilo students have stayed in these places and have been happy with their choice.

Whether you’re looking for a simple studio, a cozy pension, or a more luxurious hotel, Agios Nikitas offers something for every taste and budget.


3. Ag. Nikitas

  • No car is needed during your stay in Agios Nikitas when you book something at walking distance from the Agatha Pension (see map below)
    everything (classroom, beach, tavernas, and shops) is just a short stroll away.


We look forward to welcoming you to Lefkada —> a perfect place to combine learning Greek with a relaxing island holiday!

Convenient studios or rooms, all close to the beach,
and at easy walking distance to the course location.

 Who is Dionysis Savvopoulos?

Dionysis Savvopoulos is one of Greece’s most influential musicians, since he sings, writes lyrics and composes his own songs.
Born in Thessaloniki in 1944, he became known for blending Greek folk music with rock and poetic lyrics, creating a unique sound that marked the cultural awakening of the 1960s and 1970s.  For many Greeks, Savvopoulos is not just a musician but a storyteller who captures the spirit of modern Greece through his words and melodies.

He began his career in 1964, appearing in nightclubs together with Maria Farantouri and Manos Loizos.
Savvopoulos was imprisoned twice during the Greek dictatorship. People fell in love with him straight away, making him and his music very popular in Greece and abroad.
In some of his songs, he combined the music of American musicians such as Bob Dylan with folk music from Macedonia, northern Greece, and lyrics about current political affairs. He has been awarded an honorary doctorate by the Department of Philology of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.

Ο Διονύσης Σαββόπουλος θεωρείται ο πρωτεργάτης της σχολής των Ελλήνων τραγουδοποιών. Τραγουδοποιοί ονομάζονται όσοι γράφουν μουσική, στίχους και τραγουδούν οι ίδιοι τα τραγούδια
τους. Άρχισε τη σταδιοδρομία του το 1964, και έκανε εμφανίσεις σε νυχτερινά κέντρα με τη Μαρία Φαραντούρη και τον Μάνο Λοΐζο.

Κατά τη διάρκεια της δικτατορίας φυλακίστηκε δύο φορές. Γνώρισε πολύ γρήγορα τεράστια επιτυχία και σύντομα έγινε πολύ δημοφιλής στην Ελλάδα και το εξωτερικό. Είχε συνδυάσει τη μουσική Αμερικανών μουσικών όπως του Μπομπ Ντίλαν με μακεδονική λαϊκή μουσική και στίχους πολιτικού περιεχομένου. Έχει ανακηρυχτεί επίτιμος διδάκτορας στο τμήμα
Φιλολογίας του Αριστοτελείου Πανεπιστημίου Θεσσαλονίκης.

Greek University Entrance Exams or Πανελλήνιες are taking place every year at the end of the school year, and it is a stressful period for many students as well as parents.

 

 

Studying at a Greek state university might officially be “for free” for students, but there are some conditions to consider; The exams leading to it are an intense and challenging process for all seventeen and eighteen-year-olds around the country. Parents usually pay a lot of money for private lessons for their children, in order to get the best results. This extra private education for preparing towards the exams usually is paid for minimum one year, but often for much longer as well. Therefore, knowing the difference between practice and theory, we believe it is not really correct to call the Public Greek Educational System “free”.

Accommodation on Syros island; where to stay?

If you only intend to visit Syros for just a night or two, we’d suggest choosing a hotel in Ermoupoli, the island’s beautiful capital.
You’d want to spend at least a day in Ermoupoli, doing sightseeing, and exploring this fascinating city.
Also, Ano Syros is a great location to spend two days, but far from beaches, and be prepared to walk a lot of steps.

 Omilo organizes 1- and 2-week courses on Syros island, in  Azolimnos, (4 km south of Hermoupolis)

Therefore, we suggest for our students mostly accommodation close to the course location, in the village of Azolimnos.
