The document summarizes the activities over 7 days for students from Spain, France, Romania and Germany visiting Ioannina, Greece. On the first day, the students arrived from their home countries by plane or bus and were welcomed. Over subsequent days, the visitors participated in welcoming ceremonies, games to get to know each other, decided on a logo, learned about Greek culture, and went on a city game tour and excursions. They also visited cultural sites, engaged in workshops, and had a farewell party on the last day before departing. The week-long trip provided an opportunity for the international students to experience Greek culture and make new friends.

habits, and then the students from Greece
presented our country and the town of Ioannina.

dinner. It was a really busy, but interesting
day!

We were met early the morning at the
Archeological Museum of Ioannina where we
had the opportunity to admire the exhibits.
Then, it was time for the “City game of
Ioannina”.The students were divided into four
groups, which were named after greek gods and
goddesses; “Athena”, “Aphrodite”, “Zeus” and
“Hephaestus”. Each group took a small tour
around Ioannina, starting from the
Archaeological Museum.

Three Greek students stood near well-known
monuments of Ioannina –six stops in total-
and, when a group arrived, they gave them
information about the monument. After that,
the group had to answer a question about the
monument and, if the answer was right, the
three students gave them a piece of a puzzle. It
was an exciting experience!

The cycling around the lake was cancelled because of the wet
weather.The students with their guest did all kinds of interesting
things.
Some of them visited the island and saw Ali Pasha's museum,
tasted fried frog legs and baklava (very tasty!) and bought
souvenirs.
Some students went on excursions to nearby places, such as
Igoumenitsa.They played with the water, shells, ate in a fish
restaurant and then returned home.
Some students also went to a village called “Ligiades”, which has
a wonderful view of the city of Ioannina and the lake. Other
students went to the Perama Cave and to the “VrellisWax
Museum”.
