The Athens Centre

The Athens Centre Since 1969 the Athens Centre has been a focal point for academic and cultural activities in Greece. The Athens Centre is about inspiring people.

The Centre's Greek Language program, one of the most prestigious and comprehensive in the world, is offered on a year-round basis. The combination of classes in Modern Greek, semester and shorter university programs in the classics, formal and informal cultural events blend together providing an atmosphere that combines aesthetic facilities, outstanding instruction and a feeling of personal invo

lvement. The classes in Modern Greek are enhanced with Greek dances during class breaks, culinary events, gallery walks through central Athens, impromptu musical breaks, and interaction with participants from other programs in the courtyard of the Centre. There is always free tea and coffee and a bronze baby rhino. The language instructors have unique communication skills which stimulate learning through games, theatre techniques and class participation.People of all ages and nationalities attend these classes and contribute food, their cultural background and sometimes bring musical instruments to play in the courtyard. The university programs, most of them in the classics and Greek studies, use the Centre as a base and travel to sites all over Greece. The Centre organizes every detail of these programs; classes, field trips, events, housing. The most important elements of the Centre are the people who come to classes and participate in programs and attend cultural events. We at the Centre strive to make this relationship an inspiring experience.

Last Friday, we had the pleasure of welcoming Chang Yong-Kwan, from Seoul, South Korea, who studied at The Athens Centre over 40 years ago. While visiting Athens, he decided to stop by and reconnect with a place that had once been part of his journey.

Thank you, Chang Yong-Kwan, for your visit. We hope to welcome you back again someday! 💙

This week, our students took part in a Greek Coffee Workshop, where they learned the Art of preparing authentic Greek coffee, discovered the traditions and rituals behind it. To complete the experience, everyone enjoyed a selection of traditional Greek desserts, making the afternoon a wonderful celebration of culture, conversation and connection. ☕🇬🇷

Language learning goes far beyond the classroom, it’s about experiencing the culture firsthand and creating memories together.
