Practical Information

 

Clothing, Sleeping and Eating

The days of July and August are by far the hottest in Greece. So, be equipped with light cloths (t-shirts for boys and short skirts for girls!) and of course a swimsuit (if you need one). It is also a good idea to have a jacket just in case, although most probably you will not need it. Furthermore, you should have with you a sleeping bag and a mattress for the camping site and athletic shoes for the trekking! We are also looking forward to tasting your national drinks and listening to your national music!
Although we will be very kind with you :-), it is important to have travel insurance during your stay in Greece (E111 form for EU citizens).

 

It's all Greek to me!

Although the primary language during the Summer University will be the English (and the body language), it will be possibly good to learn some words and useful expressions in Greek:

Costs

The Greek currency is the euro € made up of 100 cents. Euro coins come as 1c, 2c, 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, 1 and 2. Euro notes come as 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500(oh my God!). All euro notes and coins are legal tender throughout the euro zone, regardless of their country of issue. If you come from a country not using the euro, you may find the latest exchange rates here. In Greece you will not have any problem finding an ATM (Bankomat) for withdrawing money, as most machines accept also foreign cards (Visa, Visa Electron, Maestro etc). In the following list you can see some typical price ranges currently found in Greece.
