Don't forget to apply to the modern greek lessons cause it's very important for the social life, to read at least what's written in the metro and to communicate with basis while lost on an island or whatever !

Course recommendations

Choose reading courses cause you don't have to assist, just to give an essay at the end of the semester.. So that you have plenty of time to travel around Greece!!!
