Moussakas!

What’s this famous Mussakàs that everyone is talking about? What are the eating habits of the Greeks?

We are chatting with the locals and exploring the Greek eating habits while tasting delicious dishes. We […]

Because of its location, it is where the city’s main fortress and other defensive structures, such as Eptapirgion or Trigonio Tower, were built during the Byzantine and the Ottoman period. A large part of the Byzantine Walls that surrounded Thessaloniki have been well preserved at this area, including the beauty of the city’s Acropolis. The old buildings, the narrow alleys, the small taverns with the traditional cuisine reflect the history of this area and its cultural identity. Rebetiko (or Rebetika) is the name of the Greek urban folk music that appeared in the late 19th century and the early 20th. It started from the big ports of Greek cities where the working class lived (Piraeus, Thessaloniki, Volos) and then moved to other urban centers. In 1922 the refugees from Asia Minor brought their own musical […]

Registrations are open!

As autumn has arrived, we are getting ready for a new, creative year with many surprises. We can’t wait to share with you all of our new ideas, as language teaching is for us something more than just memorising rules and words. We are inviting you to a tour in the language and culture of our country. We enjoy teaching Greek, walking the streets of our country, learning its history, cooking and chatting with locals, as we come into contact with the Greek nature, art and entertainment. We discover together the language that is hidden in our songs, movies, tales and recipes. We come, therefore, out of the limits of the standard class and we learn Greek while traveling, hiking or while making a historic walk. Registrations are open!
