As summer 2026 draws to a close, we look back on another rewarding chapter of the Harvard Summer School Program in Greece. For the twenty-third year running, the program brought a group of students to Thessaloniki and Nafplio, with a short stay in Athens along the way. Through seminars, excursions, and site visits, students explored themes related to the Eastern Mediterranean while engaging directly with Greece's history, culture, and landscapes, sharing new perspectives, unforgettable moments, and lasting friendships.

🎥 Watch our video available on YouTube for highlights from the 2026 program and a glimpse into the people, places, and activities that shaped this summer's journey.

As every journey reaches its conclusion, this summer's program comes to a close, leaving behind lasting memories, new perspectives, and a community united by a shared passion for learning. ✨

The program concluded with a final week dedicated to the preparation of students’ final projects, providing an opportunity to reflect on and synthesize the knowledge and experiences gained throughout the summer. 📚

As Harvard Summer School in Greece comes to an end, so too do this summer’s educational programs at CHS. We are deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to this remarkable journey and proud to have shared another summer filled with learning and meaningful connections. 🙏🏻

While this chapter closes, the friendships, ideas, and memories created along the way will continue to inspire long after the summer has ended. 🫶🏻

The first EVOKE season at Vythoulas wraps up 🧭🏺
From June 22 to July 11, 2026, CHS Greece supported the EVOKE Project (𝘌𝘹𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘝𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘴 𝘖𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘒𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘢 𝘌𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘴), the first project and case study within DIORAMAS, during its inaugural excavation season at Vythoulas in northeast side of the island of Kythera in Greece. 🇬🇷

Led by Prof. Tamar Hodos (University of Sydney & Australian Archaeological Institute at Athens), EVOKE investigates a significant archaeological landscape on Kythera, exploring how communities lived, worked, farmed, moved through, and understood this landscape across more than 5,000 years.

Conducted under permit from the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and the Ephorate of Antiquities of Piraeus and Islands, this year’s fieldwork combined two strands:

Archaeological excavation:
Three trenches were opened at Vythoulas, where teams investigated archaeological stratigraphy and recovered evidence from different phases of the site’s history.

Landscape and environmental research:
Alongside excavation, researchers explored the relationships between water management, agriculture, movement, and memory in the Kytherian landscape.

The season brought together 25 students and researchers from Australia, Greece, the United States, Brazil, and beyond. Participants received training in excavation, archaeological recording, finds processing, and landscape interpretation. The team also included three Harvard undergraduate students, participating through a collaboration between University of Sydney and Harvard's CHS, supervised by Prof. Tamar Hodos (University of Sydney) and Dr. Daphne Martin (Harvard University).

The team now looks forward to analysing the season’s results and continuing research at Vythoulas as part of DIORAMAS’ mission to explore relationships between people, place, environment, and memory.
