Since I joined EESTEC last year,
I heard a lot of stories about amazing
summer exchange „Greece Me Up“
organized by LC Athens. That is why
this year I have decided not to miss
my opportunity to be a part of the
sequel „Greece Me Up 2“. It was a
good decision because LC Athens
did it again, they made an exchange
that will stay in our memory forever.
and smiling. After we settled in hotel,
it was time to try Greek food. It was
very special and tasty and during the
lunch we had a time to get to know
each other better. People were joking
and laughing so I can say that we became a team since the ?rst moment.
Afternoon was reserved for a visit to
Thessaloniki Fortress. We enjoyed
beautiful view of the „White City“ and
just relaxed. The word we all learned
was „halara“ which means laid-back
and relaxed. Our host gave their best
to make our stay in Thessaloniki just
When we arrived on 22nd of July, we
got a warm welcome from organizers
who were always in the good mood
like that, relaxed and enjoyable. Then,
it was time to explore Thessaloniki nightlife. Music in the pub that we
visited was full of rhythm and most of
us danced all night.
Second day started with a trip to Vergina which has a great archaeological
value. We visited the museum where
we could see the tomb of Philip II of
Macedon, father of Alexander the
Great. Greece is a country with impressive history and we were able to
see a piece of those famous ancient
days. After morning history lesson,
we had a chance to see a beautiful
waterfall in Edessa. Scenery was so
beautiful and we were surrounded
with trees, green grass and sound of
waterfall. Nature was in its full glory.
Then, it was time to put on our swimsuits because our next destination
were baths of Aridaia. The temperature was pretty high so the timing was
perfect and we really refreshed ourselves.
After that, we returned to the hotel
and prepared for International Night.
That night we could taste authentic
food and drinks from a lot of different
countries because number of LCs
present was really high.
