greek on naxos

What about learning Greek on Naxos island?
Learning to speak Greek is usually more fun and easier when you are in Greece, and that is also the reason why the Omilo school started organizing Greek Language and Culture courses  in Greece. Since 1997 we have welcomed participants in various locations, such as Athens, Nea Makri, Limni (Evia), Hydra, Andros, Syros, Nafplion, Lefkada….
Because many students return every year and like to go to different areas in Greece, in 2023 we decided to add one more location to our programme.

And that is….
…the island of Naxos.

 

In October 2023, the very first Naxos course took place, and in 2024 once again.
