CYA class has the rare opportunity to go inside the Parthenon!

“The Topography and Monuments of Athens” course offers a comprehensive overview of the topography, archaeology and history of Athens, focusing particularly on the great monuments of the Classical and Roman city.

Last week, U.S. Ambassador to Greece Geoffrey Pyatt and his wife Mary Pyatt, held a garden party to welcome the new CYA Fall 18 students.

One hundred and forty students from 55 U.S. universities, CYA faculty and staff spent an afternoon at the Ambassador’s residence, enjoying the company and cordiality of the Embassy staff, the warm weather, and an American-style poolside barbeque.

CYA participated with pride in the 83^rd Thessaloniki International Fair “Star-Spangled Exhibition” (Sep 8–16, 2018). As the name suggests, this year’s honored country was the United States of America. With over 1,500 exhibitors and a broad range of fields represented, the exhibition is described as one of the most important annual events in Southeastern Europe.
