Following the winter intersession in January, we welcomed the arrival of our Spring Semester 2018 students. The Orientation week was jam-packed with activities, including a welcome breakfast with CYA President Mr. Phylactopoulos, and an authentic Greek dinner at a taverna. The week included various administrative, health and safety seminars, as well as Survival Modern Greek lessons and neighborhood walks to help students adjust smoothly to their new city of Athens.

Professor Robert Pitt and his class on-site at Delphi
The first week came to a close with a weekend field trip to Delphi, the first of three academic field trips provided throughout the semester. Students traveled to the “navel of the earth” to take part in their first on-site lessons and get a taste of their new magnificent surroundings, a classroom without walls, Greece.
The on-site classes were held at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ossios Loukas Monastery as well as the museum and archaeological site of Delphi.

The trip also allowed students to get to know their professors and staff in a social environment with an organized dinner and the cutting of the “Vasilopita”, the traditional New Year cake. Staff, faculty, and students participated in some fun orientation bonding activities including learning Greek pastimes, frappe making, backgammon (Tavli) and playing a football match.
