Daily programme
Language classes are obligatory; they are offered at many levels and

the written and spoken word more effectively. There is also a special
literature class in which students study contemporary Greek prose and poetry.
The Greek language courses take place daily
from 8.00 to 11.30 at the Grand Hotel Palace.
