Greek Study Tour 2026
We have been organising study tours annually to Greece and Crete for third level students in Irish universities since 1998. The study tours are an important part of our activities and they offer an opportunity for students of Classics and Archaeology to visit Greece to enhance their studies by visits to museums, sites and landscapes. Some of our partner Universities incorporate the study tour into their curriculum as a credit bearing learning activity.
