Finding the Omilo Song; Over the years, we often wondered whether Omilo should have its own  song.

But how could we possibly choose one?

Greek music offers such an incredible variety of styles, singers and composers that choosing just one song to represent Omilo always seemed impossible.

At Omilo, we dance to traditional Greek music, go to concerts of entechno, rebetiko and laiko, and organise presentations about Greek singers and composers from many different periods and styles.

There is always something new to discover. You simply never get bored with Greek music.

And you can help us spread the word!

This year is a very special one for Omilo: we are celebrating our 30th anniversary!

Thirty years of teaching Greek, sharing Greek culture, exploring beautiful places together, and, most importantly, meeting thousands of wonderful students from all over the world.

If you recently enjoyed an Omilo course in Greece, we hope you had a fantastic time!
And of course we are very happy with various comments and feedback of students that came long ago..

From word of mouth to the online world

When Omilo started 30 years ago, the world looked very different.

There was no internet, no social media, no Google Reviews, no online advertising and certainly no Artificial Intelligence!
Most new students heard about Omilo from a friend, colleague or former student.

In many ways, word of mouth built Omilo.

Today, recommendations are still incredibly important, but they often happen online.

And this is where you can make a real difference.

Marketing has never been our favourite part of the job.

We would much rather spend our time teaching Greek, organising cultural activities and creating memorable experiences in Greece.

But if we want Omilo to continue welcoming Greek learners for another 10, 20 or even 30 years, we need to make it easier for future students to discover us.

And nobody can tell the Omilo story better than our students.


A few words from you, mean a lot

How to Enter Our Prize Draw & get an anniversary discount

There is a simple way you can help: share your Omilo experience in a short testimonial.

any feedback can help someone who is considering learning Greek in Greece make their decision.

Your own words and experiences are much more meaningful than anything we could say about ourselves.

30 years of Omilo –> Thanks to you!

Looking back over three decades, we feel incredibly grateful.

Omilo would not be what it is today without the students who have travelled to Greece to learn with us, returned for another course, recommended us to friends and continued to make Greek part of their lives.

Thank you for celebrating these 30 years with us, and for helping us begin the next chapter.

Ευχαριστούμε και θα τα πούμε!
