Greece Summer Study Abroad

 

Contact: Dr. Shannon Byrne, byrn@xavier.edu

The Greece 2026 Summer Study Abroad Program is tentatively scheduled for May 18 (departure) - June 16 (return). Students earn 6 credit hours from a range of core CLAS courses that satisfy Creative Perspectives, Historical Perspectives, E/RS and Diversity Flags, and Humanities.

The program is open to students in all four colleges and all majors. Most courses are available for Honors upgrade.

We stay at 3 and 4 star hotels and divide our time between Athens and the rest Greece as follows (not necessarily in this order):

• 13 nights in Athens
• 2 nights in Delphi
• 2 nights in Olympia 
• 2 nights in Kalambaka 
• 3 nights in Tolo (for Mycenae, Epidaurus, etc.)
• 2 nights on the island Santorini
• 3 nights on the island Naxos

The tentative cost for the program is TBD, which includes:

• tuition for two courses (required)
• hotels with air conditioning throughout the program
• all transportation in Greece (private buses on land and ferry reservations for islands)
• metro passes in Athens
• admission to all sites and museums (with Xavier AllCard)
• breakfast and dinner each day

Not included in the tentative cost: transatlantic airfare and lunch.
