31 May-4 July

The APSU study abroad to Greece program combines ancient and modern. The goal is to demonstrate the importance of Greece in all of its historical periods. Students take two courses, Greek Art and Archaeology and Intensive Modern Greek, and earn seven hours of undergraduate credit. We begin with two weeks in Chania, Crete, where we meet twice a day in a seminar setting. In the morning we discuss the history of archaeology in Greece, in the afternoon, we do modern Greek. When we leave Chania, we spend three weeks on the road, visiting sites from Crete to Northern Greece, and from the neolithic to the modern. In addition to the ancient sanctuaries, palaces, healing centers, and pan-hellenic games sites, we also visit Byzantine, Medieval, and modern sites. Through the study of Modern Greek, we learn about contemporary Greek life, literature, music, and dance. The program includes a three-day stay in Greek homes, a hike, through the Samaria Gorge on Crete, and a few unexpected delights. We spend the final four days in and around Athens.
