One Week Greek Course in Hermoupolis, Syros island

If you want to improve your Greek communication skills as well as deepen your knowledge of grammar, while enjoying a fantastic cultural holiday, a one-week intensive course in Hermoupolis, the capital of the island of Syros, is the perfect choice!

You will improve your Greek language skills at your level, with plenty of time left over for sightseeing and exploring Hermoupolis town, as well as for swimming in the Aegean sea, and discovering the island of Syros. Our interactive methods of teaching are made to satisfy communication needs for every level.

During the afternoons, Omilo also offers several free activities, during which you learn more about the “real Greece” and Greek culture.  Hermoupolis, is known for its rich history and the Aegean festival as well as other festivals and rembetico music. Of course, you can also explore the entire island and its beaches, by taking the local bus.

On the indicated arrival date , the Omilo team will welcome you at 19.00 in the Electra Hotel, in the town of Hermoupolis (Vaporia area). You will be introduced to the teachers and other participants, and the program will be explained as well as all the options for eventual performances in Hermoupolis. At around 20.00 all participants are invited to enjoy a tavern meal in a local Greek tavern in Hermoupolis; this is included in the course price. It is the perfect moment to get to know the other participants, talk to the teachers, taste Greek food and start communicating in Greek.

The following day your Greek classes begin. On the first day of the course, you will be asked to take a brief placement test which will help the team decide which class is best for you. The course materials will be given to you in class and are included in the price.

You will have six days of classes. On the last course day, your course will finish at 14.00.
In addition to the intensive Greek classes in the morning, on offer are various social and cultural activities during the afternoons (free of charge), during which you can also practice your Greek communication skills.
