Greek. Previous language study is not required.
All host families live in and around Volos, a coastal city about 4 hours north of Athens.
Imagine sun-drenched beaches, historic sites like the Parthenon and Acropolis, amazing Mediterranean food, and a family of hospitable and friendly Greeks. Imagine enjoying all of this for three weeks during your YFU summer program. Not only will your YFU experience be lots of fun, but you’ll also learn about one of the oldest and most rich cultures in the world. An educational program filled with museum visits and walking tours, you will get a chance to soak up thousands of years of history while host family stays will introduce you to modern Greek culture as well. You’ll also have plenty of time to enjoy the natural beauty of your surroundings, with boat trips, swimming, and time exploring picturesque Greek islands.
All students will live with host families in and around Volos and will participate in organized activities and day trips as a group.
