Invitation: Ancient-Greek Autumn
Enlive the ancient-Greek and experience the authentic Greece!
Dear lovers of the „ancient Greek“,
we would like to invite you to our upcoming programme “ancient-Greek Autumn“, which is taking place from the 3rd of September until the 6th of November. Revive your abilities in such a beautiful ancient language, discover yet unknown archaeological excavations and enjoy our garden of the Muses, which is located directly at the Mediterranean Sea. We offer special conditions for you to rediscover your love for ancient culture.
The promotional programme is not only directed to former students of ancient Greek but also to current students, individuals, groups and families who are learning, have learned or want to learn this wonderful language. Meet other enthusiasts and discuss your experience and the adventures you have had with ancient Greek so far. Honouring Greek tradition we want to gather and inspire our bodies and minds – either through discussions and lectures or local culinary specialties and musical programme, which all cohere in some way or another to the “ancient Greek“. Our aim is to create the programme as a group in a way that every individual is invited to contribute according to his ideas (stage, piano, cello and more instruments are available).
Selianitika is a genuine Greek village directly situated at the Gulf of Corinth. This wonderful place has retained its original character and tempts us all with its culinary uniqueness. The water having reached pleasant temperatures over summer, autumn is also the perfect season for swimming in in the Gulf. Stepping out of the water, feel free to pick as many khakis, pomegranates, grapefruits, grapes and olives, which are waiting for you in our garden around this time of year.
As you can see from last year’s Program, we are supporting any cultural project relating to the ancient-Greek language. Last year, for instance, we invited a theatre group to come and visit us for two weeks, completely free of charge, as they performed a piece in ancient Greek.
If your are interested in our Ancient-Greek Autumn we would be very happy to hear from you soon. If you do not have time for our programme but would like to visit us another time, please let us know. We will find an alternative date! Feel free to contact us any time if you have questions. For more information about us and our accommodation visit our homepage.
I am looking forward to you!
