It was a beautiful experience. The teacher was very prepared and very smart. I will apply what I learned to my classes. Thank you for your attention . I hope to come back again. Greece is a gorgeous country. ❤️🙏👍
The school is located in an easily accessible and beautiful neighborhood. Our teacher, Daphne, was very kind, direct and helpful. We encountered a lot of new and useful things during the training, which we can use in our daily work in education. The activities took… More place in a very good atmosphere, the time flew by quickly due to the interactivity. We had enjoyable afternoons thanks to the many cultural activities. We always received help and guidance when needed. Athens is beautiful! We left with a lot of beautiful and useful experiences regarding both the training and the city. I can only recommend the training courses in Athens to everyone.
Heartfelt thanks for the wonderful “ChatGPT and Key AI Tools” course. It was truly an inspiring, meaningful, and warm experience! The lecturer's Vasiliki Plati professionalism, sincerity, and ability to engage made a big impact and truly encouraged me to keep exploring… More and using AI more confidently in daily life. Thank you for the knowledge, support, and the welcoming atmosphere!
I express my gratitude to **Europass Teacher Academy Athens** for organizing this well-structured and valuable course, which provided a modern and interactive training environment. I especially wish to express my appreciation to **Ms. Vasiliki Plati**, a dedicated and… More inspiring trainer, for her professionalism, clarity of explanations, and openness to dialogue. Participating in this training was a highly relevant experience for me, with a real impact on the way I can integrate artificial intelligence into my teaching practice.
A wonderful learning experience, July 21-26, 2025, in Athens, as part of an Erasmus+ mobility program aimed at improving English language skills (elementary level). The course focused on strengthening speaking skills through interaction with colleagues from various… More countries. Key grammar points were reviewed and applied in dynamic and interactive small and large group activities, CLIL activities, and English practice in real-world contexts and during field trips. Teacher Daphne was highly knowledgeable, empathetic, patient, and kind; she engaged everyone, despite each having different prerequisites. The staff was very welcoming. I highly recommend the course to other teachers.
Bellissima esperienza formativa, dal 21 al 26 luglio 2025 ad Atene, nell'ambito di una mobilità Erasmus+ finalizzata al miglioramento della competenza linguistica in inglese (livello elementary). Il corso è stato finalizzato a rafforzare lo speaking grazie all’interazione con colleghi di diversi Paesi. Sono stati ripassati i principali punti grammaticali e applicati in attività dinamiche e interattive di piccolo e grande gruppo, attività CLIL, esercitando l’inglese in contesti reali e durante le uscite. L' insegnante Daphne molto preparata, empatica, paziente e gentile, ha sapiuto coinvolgere tutti, pur avendo ognuno diversi prerequisiti. Lo staff molto accogliente. Consiglio vivamente il corso ad altri docenti.
We would like to sincerely thank Ms. Stella Souvatzi & Ms. Daphne Conway for conducting the Erasmus Course "Primary Students & Creative Competence: Thriving in the Unknown" in Athens. Their expertise and engaging approach made the experience both inspiring… More and enriching. Through their guidance, we were able to gain practical skills, explore innovative ideas, and learn from diverse cultural perspectives, all of which we look forward to sharing and applying in our school.

Athens is the historical capital of Europe from the Neolithic era until today. The city’s long, fascinating history reached its peak in the 5th century B.C. (the “Golden Age of Pericles”) when its values and culture exceeded the geographical boundaries of the city and acquired universal radiance.
It is widely referred to as the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of democracy, mainly because of its cultural and political impact on the European continent.
Thus, Athens was the matrix of Western civilization, while countless Greek words and concepts such as democracy, harmony, music, mathematics, art, gastronomy, architecture, logic, love, euphoria, and hundreds of others enriched many languages and inspired different cultures.
Over the centuries, Athens experienced various conquerors, who left their mark on the city with glamorous monuments of rare historic importance. In 1834 Athens was declared the capital of modern Greece based on the city’s classical past, which developed into a modern metropolitan center with unparalleled charm.
In modern times Athens is a large cosmopolitan metropolis, central to economic, financial, industrial, maritime, political, and cultural life in Greece. Each neighborhood has its own unique attractions and character.
Today, visiting Athens’s city offers a unique experience: A “journey” in the history of 6,000 years in one of the most popular destinations for Greek and foreign tourists.
1) The Acropolis and the Parthenon
The name Acropolis derives from the Greek words AKRO (meaning peak, top) and POLIS (meaning city). Acropolis, therefore, means “the top of the city.” The Acropolis contains the remains of several ancient buildings of great architectural and historic significance, the most famous being the Parthenon.
The Parthenon is a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena Parthenos (Athena the Virgin). There are two other temples visible today on the Acropolis: the Erechtheum (with its famous Caryatids) and the tiny temple of Athena Nike (meaning Athena Victory).
The Acropolis Museum is an archaeological museum focused on the findings of the archaeological site of the Acropolis of Athens. The museum was built to house every artifact found on the rock and on the surrounding slopes from the Greek Bronze Age to the Roman and Byzantine eras.
The National Archaeological Museum of Athens is the largest archaeological museum in Greece and one of the most important museums in the world devoted to ancient Greek art. It was founded at the end of the 19th century to house and protect antiquities from all over Greece, thus displaying their historical, cultural, and artistic value.
The Benaki Museum of Greek Culture is housed in one of the most beautiful neoclassical-style buildings in Athens, near the National Garden and the Hellenic Parliament. It was converted into a museum in order to shelter the collections of Antonis Benakis. Following its most recent refurbishment (1989–2000) the building houses a unique exhibition on Greek culture arranged diachronically from prehistory to the 20th century.
The Ancient Agora Market in modern-day terms is the best-known example of an ancient Greek agora located in the northwest of the Acropolis and bounded on the south by the hill of the Areos Pagus and on the west by the hill known as the Kolonos Agoraios, also called Market Hill.
The Museum of Cycladic Art is dedicated to the study and promotion of ancient cultures of the Aegean and Cyprus culture with special emphasis on Cycladic Art of the 3rd millennium BC. It was founded in 1986 to house the collection of Nicholas and Dolly Goulandris.
The Panathenaic Stadium is located on the site of an ancient stadium and for many centuries hosted games in which male athletes competed (gymnikoi agones) in track events, athletics championships as we would call them today. Since 565 BC., these games were included in the program of the Panathenaia festival celebrations.
Standing 277 meters above sea level, Lycabettus Hill (sometimes spelled Lykavitos) is the highest point of Athens. A beautiful walk up via a circular path will be a test of endurance and a challenge. A funicular or cliff railway can also take you to the top of the hill and proves to be a novelty for those who prefer the “easy way” to the top.
Plaka and Monastiraki, the most touristic areas of Athens, excite with picturesque corners that serve also as lessons in history. In the shadow of the Acropolis, the neighborhood of Koukaki, with its unevenly paved sidewalks lined with bitter orange trees, there is an urban village feel. Boasting is the elegant Acropolis Museum on the sweeping cobbled esplanade of Dionysiou Areopagitou which has turned Koukaki into one of the most distinguished residential districts.
