Unforgettable Adventure Awaits in Greece!
Spots are still available for our Spring 2027 trip to Greece, and your student is invited! Over 7 days in Athens and Argolida, students will explore the Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum, the Prison of Socrates, and Areopagus Hill—bringing mythology, philosophy, and democracy to life. This trip will be led by Mr. Knesnik, CityLab's architecture teacher, who will travel and chaperone students and families throughout the journey. We're holding an informational meeting to share the itinerary, academic opportunities, and cost, plus how to save $150 with early enrollment. Spots are limited, so families must RSVP to attend: RSVP here. For answers to common questions about traveling with EF Tours, visit EF's website.
