Greece Summer Study Abroad

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

The Greece 2024 Summer Study Abroad Program is tentatively scheduled for May 20 (departure) - June 17 (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 Kalamata (for Messenia, Mystras, etc.)
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 $6290, 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.
