School trips to Greece offer students the chance to explore the birthplace of Western civilization and the cornerstone of democracy as we know it today. An educational tour to Greece combines visits to iconic landmarks like the Acropolis, Delphi, and the Parthenon with the chance to take part in hands-on workshops and masterclasses. They’ll get the chance to explore ancient theatre in world-famous architectural wonders, explore lesser-known but equally as important sites like the Corinth Canal and Nafplion, and pay visits to local olive farms to combine their knowledge of Ancient Greek culture with a fresh look at how the country operates today.
A country packed with unforgettable destinations and landmarks, Greece provides endless opportunities to craft academically-rich, exciting school tours. On all our school trips to Greece, we’re sure to include visits to some of the most popular destinations.
Following in the footsteps of Sophocles, Aristophanes and beyond, our Greek school trips include an amazing workshop that builds on the incredible traditions begun in the Theatre of Dionysus. Students will get an introduction into the history of Greek theatre, learning how to write lyrics in Ancient Greek rhyme, and learn how to perform in the style of the ancient greats.
Culture & the arts aren’t the only thing that Ancient Greece gave the modern world, and when students visit a local olive farm, they’ll find themselves connected with historic agricultural practices. While there, they’ll learn more about the ancient production process for making olive oil, and they’ll get a chance to sample the farm’s delicious produce.
On your Greece school trip, your students will get the opportunity to study the ideas of democracy in their very birthplace. But far from a lecture, they’ll get the chance to do so with an interactive workshop on Pnyx Hill, the original location of the Athenian Public Assembly. Through team games, guided exploration activities, and role-play segments, students will learn about democracy as they recreate their own Ancient Greek Assembly.
No school trip to Greece is complete without a chance to sample the culinary treasures that have made this country so famous. More than just a delicious lunchtime alternative, a walking street food tour of Athens also provides students with the chance to learn more about the country’s cuisine and traditions – but of course, the souvlaki and loukoumades are an added bonus!
School trips to Greece offer students a chance to get up-close to the archaeology and history that they study; from standing just meters from the Parthenon and testing acoustics in the theatre of Epidaurus, to democratic debates on the Pnyx itself, a student trip to Greece with The Learning Adventure brings the classroom into the real world. Alongside the educational experiences, students can explore the street food of Athens, create their own mosaics, and taste the very best olive oil the Peloponnese has to offer. Genuine cultural experiences are an important part of our educational trips to Greece, as we work to offer students transformative travel experiences that go far beyond their academic development.

Absolutely! We tailor all our itineraries to your learning objectives and travel style. We cater to any programme, from service trips and cultural tours to subject-focused educational trips and faculty-led university programmes. No two trips with us are ever the same.
We cater to all travel styles, from hostels to four-star hotels. Accommodation must meet our standards and students never share rooms with the public or opposite sex. Regardless of which accommodation you choose, teachers always have a private room.

Our standard plan is 20% at booking, 40% six months before departure and the remaining 40% two months prior. However, we understand that every institution is different, so we endeavour to organise and arrange a payment plan that works for your group.
For a Greece school trip, we usually advise private coaches as they allow you to stop off at sites that are perfectly suited to your group. There are also good public buses in Greece, which can be quoted for smaller groups on a budget.
The best time to book a school trip to Greece is April through to November (with the hottest months being July and August) it’s an easy decision to take a school trip to Greece during these times. Other than the dates of Orthodox Easter celebrations, when lots of tourist attractions will be closed and hotels exceptionally busy, Greece is a fantastic place to visit throughout the year – especially the autumn half term, when the weather is warm and there are fewer tourists.
Our Greece school trips are customizable, so let us know if there’s a specific site you want to visit to align your learning objectives and we’ll be happy to work with you on this.
