1. Greece

2. 1st day
On Monday, after the breakfast in the hotel we went by bus for a
meeting with the local mayor of Galatsi – district of Athens where
the school is situated. During the meeting we were welcomed
ceremonially by the authorities.We explored the building carefully,
especially the first floor which is made of the ancient stone,
remains of the old buildings which were found while digging the
foundations.We also took some photos together with the local
authorities.Then, we went to school – our Comenius partner,
where we were welcomed again very kindly by the teachers and
students with the beautiful dances and some national songs. In the
background we could watch the multimedia presentation of
monuments in Athens and around it.After the performance, we had
some free time for coffee and other little pleasures.After that, all
the teachers met together to work out some Comenius tasks.
Meanwhile students spent pleasurable time playing on the school
playground and integrating with other students.Around 1 p.m. we
ate a traditional Greek dinner, prepared by students’ parents.

3. After the dinner we went to one of the Greek wineries and
had a chance to see all the tools which are used during the
wine production, not only at present but also in the past.We
saw the whole process of the wine production and some
elements the taste and colour of wine depend on.After that
we visited the Marathon Museum where we were presented
with the history of marathon running and we learnt a lot
about the Battle of Marathon. In the museum we saw some
marble statues, pictures, medal copies and many other
reminders of the first modern marathon running winners.We
were walking around the Marathon lands, taking some
pictures of the sport stadium. In the evening we ate supper in
the tavern and we had a chance to see again beautiful Greek
dances.Around midnight we came back to the hotel.

15. 2nd day
On Tuesday, after the breakfast, around 8.30 we
set off for a walk to Acropolis which is situated
on a hill in the centre of Athens.We learnt there
about the history of the place and some events
that had happened there in the past. Furthermore,
we saw beautiful remains of theTemple of
Poseidon,Athena and Caryatids which have
survived for almost 2500 years.When we reached
the hilltop we were surprised by all the
breathtaking views and the panorama of Athens.
We could also see the Theatre of Dionysus
located on the south slope of the Acropolis.

16. After that we went to see the ancient market – Agora,
where the socio-political life of ancient Greeks took place.
Next, we followed the tracks of the ancient market, just like
Aristotle and Plato had travelled in the past.We had a
possibility to discover the cultural centre of the ancient times
– the protection from the sun and heat, the shopping centre
and the place for leading philosophical disputes. After such a
pleasurable time full of interesting places and stories we came
back to our hotel and ate the dinner.Around 2.30 p.m. we
continued sightseeing and went to the Acropolis Museum
where we admired sculptures, amphoras and other objects
which had been found during excavations of Acropolis.We
also saw Caryatids and the remains of the outside ancient
walls. After that, we walked around Plaka - the old historical
neighbourhood of Athens. It is built on the top of the
residential areas, around the slopes of Acropolis. In this place
tourists usually rest and relax in the numerous restaurants or
cafes and do shopping in souvenir shops. In the evening we
admired a port of Pireus. In one of the taverns we spent
pleasurable time eating supper and looking at Mediterranean.

24. 3rd day
On Wednesday, after the breakfast we started a
long journey to Delphi, both anarchaeological site
and a modern town, to look through the history
of the Oracle of Delphi – Pythia.The oracle
sometimes gave ambiguous prophecies, which
were very often incomprehensible because of the
literal and figurative meaning. Climbing the hill we
could see how the ancient people were trying to
get prophecies from the oracle.We also saw the
ancient market situated beyond the town, which
was a good strategic point, the remains of the
Temple of Athena and the ancient theatres –
stadiums.

25. Soon after, we visited the Museum in Delphi
with a lot of interesting archaeological objects
and ancient relics.Around 4 p.m. we ate dinner
and went to see a little village of Arachova and
then we saw a monument in Distomo where in
the past Germans killed many Greek people.The
way back was very long, most of us were so tired
that we slept in the bus. However, we were very
happy and full of positive emotions after the
journey to Delphi.

33. 4th day
OnThursday morning we went by bus to the nearby Museum of
Archaeology which has gathered archaeological relicts from Greece
since the prehistoric times to the late antique.Apart from some
monuments and sculptures of gods we could see also objects of
everyday use, coins, amphoras and the prototype of the first watch.
On the way to the Museum we visited the Parliament and we saw
people taking part in the national strike against some changes in
regulations.Then we had a short walk along the commercial street
and we saw the whole commercial area. Meanwhile we had two
hours for some shopping and for sightseeing.At 3.30 p.m. we ate a
traditional Greek dinner in the local restaurants.
Around 7 p.m. we went towards Sunio Cap where we saw the
Temple of Poseidon and we admired the beautiful sunset of Aegean
Sea.At the end of the day, after seeing such beautiful, breathtaking
places and views, we were incredibly tired.We came back to the
hotel at 10 p.m.

43. 5th day
Since Friday early morning we have been very excited because of the one
day cruise.After the breakfast, around 8 a.m. we arrived at the Port of
Piraeus.
The first point of our cruise was Hydra - a very beautiful island, full of
interesting places.What surprised us mostly was the fact that there were
no cars on the island. People usually use donkeys when they want to Ravel.
The next point of the journey was Poros, quite a big island where we spent
almost two hour.We visited the Temple of Poseidon and saw beautiful
buildings, not only old but also the modern ones.Then we came back on
our ship to eat dinner and taste some delicious traditional Greek food
again.The last part of the journey was the departure for another island –
Aegina.We saw the Orthodox Church and the amazingTemple of Aphaia.
We discovered that Aegina is famous from pistachios. During the way back
to the hotel we sailed in a very pleasant atmosphere with traditional
Greek music and dances.We arrived at the hotel at 8.30 p.m. and were
very sad to say goodbye to our Comenius friends and very sorry to leave
Greece. However, the memories will stay in our hearths for a long time.
