Greek Island Tour

NAHYSOSA GREEK
ISLAND TOUR

6 – 16 JULY 2023

The NAHYSOSA Greek Island Tour was founded in 2019 with the aim to unite Hellenes from around the world in our home country, Greece. The tour is a 10 day program where participants have the opportunity to explore the historical city of Athens and the beautiful Cycladic islands with a group of 30 Hellenes from all different countries, backgrounds and ages. From walking tours of the acropolis, traditional food and wine tasting, Greek dancing lessons, architectural ruins, the nightlife filled with Greek music and dancing and more, the tour has something to offer for everyone. Not only does the program allow you to explore the islands but it allows for something so much more – you will arrive as strangers and leave as family, as you bond with people who are from a different country, but are bound by the culture and heritage that we are all so proud of.
