Visit the excavation of the University of Athens in Marathon and have an amazing experience of the excavation procedures. Volunteer with the “Doctors of the World”, a non-profit organization offering support, care and hope for children and adults in need. Act as an “academic ambassador”, leading discussions with undergraduate students regarding graduate studies at American universities. Discover the ancient Minoan Civilization and the beautiful island of Crete, while learning the benefits of the famous Cretan Mediterranean diet.
